Hello, count the blinking light pattern. It may blink 2 to 9 times, pause and repeat the pattern again. Does it ever light the screen when it's cycling on and off? Let me know....tks

double vision ( ghosting) sometimes indicates an antenna misalignment/ bad connections or reflection of the signal from something like a roof or building wall

check your status light, refer to owners manual

It may indicate the lamp needs replaced, or that the cooling fans are not turning. When the controller senses too much lamp current, or dimmer than minimum light output, the controller will shut down the lamp to prevent damage. Replacing the lamp fixes that. Over-heating, or fans not rotating will cause the controller to shut OFF the TV. Clean and lubricate the fans with a vacuum and a tiny drop of lubricant on each motor bearing. Also clean and vacuum the air filters. Dust and dirt are the enemies of fans and lamps. Regards.

Read Owner's Manual. Usually blinks when shutting down and waiting for fans to cool lamp below set temperature, then turns OFF. Takes several minutes. Regards.

Connect a good HDMI device to the HDMI port on your TV. Make sure the TV HDMI port is selected using your TV remote. Turn ON the HDMI device. If the port is working, the TV and HDMI device will establish a connection and the screen should show some kind of menu display for the device. Regards.

It means that some of DLP connections are either misaligned, or have failed to make a connection. Reheat the connections to try correct this or re-align the DLP chip. This ususally is a nightmare! Regards.

Replace whole board. The BGA is nearly impossible to replace without special jigs and machines. Regards.

It means that the color wheel or it's encoder is not properly syncing with the controller. It is therefore blanking the DLP chip on the red and blue sections of the color wheel. Clean the color wheel motor and encoder disk, lubricate the motor. This should correct the problem. There may be dirt in the opto-coupler that is reading the color wheel. Be sure to clean it with a vacuum and small brush. Regards.

May mean the DLP chip is either not getting the proper level of black signal until the controller board has warmed up, or the DLP chip itself is not completely responding to the controller signals. After thoroughly warming up the problem goes away. This is a sign of aging of the parts. Diagnosing and correcting that type of problem is a challenge. Regards.

Sounds like cooling fan is not supplying enough air to the lamp. When it gets too warm, the controller will perform a safety shut-down. Clean and lubricate both of the cooling fans. One is a squirrel cage type and the other is a pancake type. Make sure the filters are clean and all dust is vacuumed from the lamp chamber. Make sure both fans turn easily. Regards.

Never heard of a color wheel needing to be replaced. Both cooling fans need to be clean and turn easily. Color wheel fan needs to turn easily. If any one of these motors does not turn, the controller will cause a shut-down. The Xenon lamp uses high voltage to operate. If the power supply was damaged, the lamp won't light. The sparking on the ballast board indicates that dirt or dust may be causing the problem. Also, the clamping diodes and regulator may be defective. If possible, try replacing the lamp power board. Regards.
