Have yellowish brown discoloration around screen that remains constant, getting larger. More noticable on B&W shows and light colors are shown. Had someone come out to check and said it was the LCD drive unit. The service contract company will not honor the agreement anymore. So, would like to know if that is really the part I need, the LCD drive unit or is it something else before I buy the part. Panasonic PT-50LC14 Part is - LSEP3126A
Sounds like an optical engine to me.Sometimes they can be dissassembled and cleaned,but this should only be done by aprofessional.Replacing it is much easier.
You need a new light engine. Call another servicer. This guy ???. No lcd drive unit in there. A good servicer will be able to do this repair in your home also. Does not need to go to shop. very simple repair but costly. Call Panasonic to see if they will help. You never know.

TV shuts down leaving a flashing yellow light on the on/off button. Light flashes twice then a pause and then two flashes again. I unplugged the tv for several hours and it worked for approx. 15 min and shut down again. The projection bulb is new. Can you help me? Thank you.
