sounds like the bulb will not fire up. most likely cause is the bulb needs replacing

1 red blink every 2.5 seconds indicates a cover error-- for this check the lamp cover
2 times red blinks very 2 seconds indicates temperature error. for this let the projector cool off check filters and fans that there is no blockage of air for proper cool down
3 red blinks every every 2 seconds Power error. incorrect voltage input or internal malfunction.
4 red blinks every 2 seconds indicates Fan Error check the fans make sure they are working and not blocked or need replacing.
i have nothing on 6 ligths go ahead reconect and check for proper count. hope this information helps.
Best of Luck.

I need to know titles of lights that blinks on tv while it trying to power up. There are Power, Lamp and Temp lights, let me know what light blinks, this will help me to diagnose the problem as I hate to guess like try this and try that.
Thanks.

the colorwheel motor bearings are starting to go. you'll need to replace the colorwheel. you can get the part from a sharp service center and do it yourself or send it to one for repair. either way, try av solutions in ny. they're really good. www.avsolutionsny.com

The bulbs do not always look broken when dead. You say it is used often. The life of a bulb is around 1400 hours I believe. This normally equates to a year or two depending on your usage levels. Did you notice your image getting dimmer in the months before it stopped working? This would be a good sign it was in need of replacement. Are the lights flashing very rapidly or blinking slowly? If they are flashing very rapidly this indicated the bulb will not fire and needs replacing.

ballast is not striking the lamp and needs replacing

From the infocus_lp650 manual
Table 2:
Red LED Behavior Explanation
One (1) blink The lamp won't strike after five (5)
attempts. Check the lamp and lamp door
installations for loose connections.

lamp life hours. Replace the lamp and

Optional Accessories Part Number

Replace the lamp. Contact Technical Support

not solve the problem..
Four (4) blinks The fan has failed. Replace the lamp (the
lamp module contains a fan). Contact

does not solve the problem.

Replace the bulb.

Try pressing the HELP button. Don't release and press the power button. The LED lights should blink. Release then try to power on again.
