Panasonic pt-53wx53g tries to turn on but goes right off

Panasonic DLP TV Bulbs

Make sure its an original Osram or Philips bulb inside the housing. If its a cheap lamp it will act this way. If it is an original lamp, then you may have a power supply issue. It shouldn't affect your TV but you may want to try resetting the lamp timer by following the instructions that came with the lamp.

TY-LA1001 Timer reset

While pressing the VOL- button on the projection display, hold down the number 0 button on the remote control at the same time for more than 5 seconds.

Thats the error for convergence failure. Heres a link to the repair kit for your model which contains the parts and the CD with detailed instructions.

Try checking your lamp door. I have seen a few of these that you need to really wrench that screw down. Let us know.

Sounds like the red and green images have shifted.

In your settings menu there should be an option for it to self adjust or manual adjust of the red and green images alignment.

Power on the set, listen for afaint buzzing sound as the set tries to fire up. If you do not here it then your lamp driver, or ballast is most likely faulty. Also make sure you have the door and all covers back in place and secure. And make sure you insatlled an orginal panasonic lamp because some generic will not work.

I think this is a power problem, check the power supply for bulging or leaking electrolytic capacitors or other damaged components.

Thats an error code. Please let me know how many times that the led is blinking and I will be able to help you with the problem.

More than likely, the two convergence IC's have to be replaced.
