Blinking status light (by 3 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!

I have the same problem.

I have exactly the same problem, the status light is blinking red, 5 cycle, the manual says lamp failure, "wait a full minute and restart" , I tried it several times but it keeps doing the same. I tried pressing for more than 10 seconds the OFF and EXIT buttons on the remote as well, still no result. The lamp indicator is off. I have not used the projector for more than 1000 hours. Somebody suggested that it might be a ballast problem. What can I do? please help! Thank you.

I also have a similar problem. I hate to buy a new bulb if that is NOT the proble.

6 cycle (0.5 sec On,
0.5 sec Off) is a lamp error!
0.5 sec Off)
Lamp fails to light. Wait a full
minute and then turn on again.
Even though the lamp is not old there may be a defect in the lamp. I know the lamps are expensive but this may be the problem. If you have a lamp that was removed due to age but still worked you could use the lamp to test it.here is a link to the user manual:

Hope this helps. :}

Replacing the lamp with an old one was helpful for me. Good news: the projector itself not faulty. Bad news: I have two projectors with the same issue at the same time (the lamps were replaced also at the same time) after only 400 hours of running.
