LAMP I HAVE A SONY KDF50WE655 TV. WHEN WATCHING IT I HEARD A HISS SOUND AND THE TV WENT BLANK. I SHUT IT DOWN AND TURNED IT BACK ON .... THE LIGHT WAS FLASING GREEN BUT, NO SOUND OR PICTURE. I THEN NOTICED THAT THE LAMP LIGHT INDICATOR WAS BLINKING. DO I JUST NEED TO REPLACE THE LAMP OR, IS THERE SOMETHING ELSE WRONG? THANKS, ROCKY

Lamp is burnt
Take lamp out and You will see problem, lamp made pop

Please make sure lamp cover is fixed properly in its position after lamp replacement as it has to press a safety switch located nearby lamp cover.
3 times red blink problem is related with that lamp cover safety switch only.
Hope this will help.
Thanks.

Hi,
It seems lamp/ bulb popped again, check lamp inside tv.
If tv does not show red blinking light then it would be lamp that knocked off, replace lamp in tv to fix its problem, please buy Sony original lamp for good picture in tv.
Let me know if you have additional question.
Thanks.

MY SONY PROJECTION TV WENT BLANK WITH NO SOUND GREEN LIGHT WAS ON WHATS WRONG

3 times blink shows lamp cover is removed or not installed properly on TV.
Please take out lamp inside TV and check, seems its broken as you heard loud pop.
Thanks.

If you still have red light , it means the temperature of the lamp is too much. Did you buy the original part number of the lamp.

Your Lcd Projector Lamp/DLP Television Lamp went out

its about $165-$200 to replace if not under warranty

You definitely have a bad lamp. Sony rates the lamp life at between 4000 and 8000 hours. There are 3 things that effect the lamp life, listed in order of importance:
1) number of times the lamp is turned on and off. Every time the lamp is first fired, it takes life off the lamp. Customers I see that turn the TV on in the morning, leave it on all day and then turn it off on the evening can get up to 12000 lamp hours
2) ventilation. Be sure you have at least 6 inches of open space all the way around the set and that the vents are clear of dust and debris.
3) power. If the power is interrupted when the set is on, there cannot be a proper cool down cycle. The fans will run after you turn the set off to properly cool it down, if the power is lost this cannot happen. If your power is unreliable, buy a small UPS to let the set finish a cool down cycle

Occasionally a lamp will faill before the average lamp time due to being defective. from your purchase date it sounds like you got about average lamp time. Be sure to purchase AN ORIGINAL SONY LAMP as a replacement, becuase the aftermarket lamps are bad news, Be sure to rate this solution. Thanks!

Bad lamp and/or lamp driver. Try replacing the lamp first.
