I have a samsung HL-P5063W Rear Projection. I changed the lamp today. When I turn the set on, the Lamp Indicator comes one and after about 30 seconds it goes off and the Stand By Indicator comes on. The Stand By indicator light goes off and the Lamp Indicator comes back on. This takes about 3 evolutions like this and then all of the Indicator being Flashing. Any ideas?

Hi.

The lamp indicator flashes when the lamp needs replacement. THe TV does not directly detect that the lamp is gone. The lamp replacement is prompted after a certain number of hours.

Both indicators flashing indicates that an internal fault was detected.

If the lamp does not fire up, then the problem is likely ballast board, which is the part that supplies power to the lamp. PSU, color wheel and DMD board may also be responsible. If problem is color wheel or DMD board you will usually have backlight.

Try again removing the lamp from the cage, and reinstall again the lamp. Ensure that the door is closed properly and restart TV. Remember to disconnect power cord while replacing the lamp.

If that does not work and there is no light, then problem is likely ballast. Call Samsung service number. Parts are also available at shops like Partstore or Encompass parts.
