2. wait until "loading factory" appears on your screen and the service menu is displayed with the lamp life hours. You will see a list of service options.
3. Scroll down to "option" and press "enter". next you will see "reset lamp" where you will press again the "enter" button. good day and best regards.

When you changed the lamp did you clean the "lamp temp sensor"? When you removed the lamp housing from its cradle, you can access it from where lamp goes. It can be cleaned with a Q-tip.

Also, there is a little blue safety switch that is located on bottom right of the light engine tray. It MUST be in the DOWN position when the TV back is reattached to TV. You can use tape to hold it in the DOWN position while attaching the back of set.

Also after replacing your lamp did you reset the lamp life?, You can do this by:
1-TV off
2-press mute+1+8+2+Power. This will access factory settings.
3-scroll to "Options". Press right arrow to next menu. scroll to "lamp life" hit right arrow and click reset.
4-power off.

That resets the lamp life hour meter.

Hope helped with this (remember rated this help). Good luck.

on my XU 55 the trick to read the lamp hours is to press and hold down the power button in about 20 seconds when the projector is turned on. there will come a window in the upper left corner that tells about total hours and lamp hours. the window will disappear quite fast, so one might need to do it twice.

So far I have entered the service menu (both menus together) then selected Lamp Replace (option 14) and then pres ok to reset. Version and Lamp (option 11) now reads Lamp life (Khr) = 8 and Lamp use (Hr) = 0.
