Hi,
Yes, if you have not replaced the lamp since you purchased this TV.
Lamps usually last about 6000 hours.
I've seen lamps last much longer than 6000Hrs, it all depends on the usage.
Remove the lamp from the TV and do a visual inspection, see if there's a crack on the glass or the bulb.
If the TV is few years old then the Lamp may be bad.

Buy original Lamp: 800 638-3328

how do I REPLACE THE LAMP IN THE kdf-42WE-655 WEGA TV. i PURCHASED THE REPLACEMENT LAMP, PART NO. XL-2100U>

If you have not changed a lamp before at all, I would suggest that you purchase the lamp plus housing. This will contain complete instructions on how to change the lamp and reset the counter. Keep the instruction sheet and the old housing and you should be able to replace just the lamp the next time.

Symptoms shows that Tv requires new Lamp.
Lamp replacement procedure is written in user manual. Let me know if you need further info about Lamp purchase or need user manual.
Please buy original Sony lamp for replacement.

You probably need to replace the lamp. It's about $150, and if you buy it with the housing, it's a really easy fix, just unscrew and pull out the old one, and pop the new one in. Go here:
