I replaced my lamp and the red lamp light has gone off now but when I power up the TV I have a perfect picture for about 10-25 seconds and then it goes black.
The green power light is still on as normal and I hear the cooling fans running but no picture.If I use the remote to turn off the TV the power light turns red and the lamp light comes on for about 30 seconds and then the TV is quiet.I can push the power button on the remote and the TV comes on again with a picture and it does the same cycle over again.No picture after 15-30 seconds ect.
Any ideas
Buy a "J" bulb, not a "Z" bulb! thats the problem!
Gentlemen;
You may wabnt t check to see if the reaplacement lamp, is a direct replacement and also if the original is a vented lamp and you replaced it with a non ented lamp you will get that problem, lots of parts houses are selling a non vented lamp for a vented lamp it wuill not work at all. And you will get what you are getting.

I bought the lamp from ebay it was a Generic lamp.I found out that thePT46DL10 takes 2 different lamps.In the serial number look to see if you have a "Z" or "J" which ever one you have you must specify that type(my ebay lamp was for a "z" model )My TV has a "J" in the serial and the J model lamp is much more expensive!Sooooo I took the TV to a AKAI authorized shop,They blew out a generic lamp in about 20 minutes(WOW more that my 20 seconds)ANy way they say I need an orginal lamp and a balast total estament to repair including labor is$495.00,Problem is they say that the supplier has the parts but cant give a delevery date untill the parts or ordered.I am considering fixing the TV problem is I dont to wait 6months to get it back.Hope this helps
