NEC VT47 Blink Sequence but not comming up. (by 2 users)

The status light is blinking red every .5 second at .5 second intervals for 6 cycles. The power light is solid orange. Per NEC manual, it says to wait a minute and restart. It just continues the same error condition. I replaced the lamp, same problem occurs. I tried a known good lamp from another projector, same problem occurs. Any ideas?
I tried your solution of: For VT570/VT47 Press and hold the power and the exit buttons on the remote control simultaneously for a minimum of ten seconds. When the lamp time clock is reset to zero, the lamp indicator goes out.
Same blinking status light. I replaced the bulb and tried again, same blinking status light. I checked the filter, etc. This projector has not run for 2100 hours, so the bulb should be okay. Please help!
