I recently replaced my dlp lamp. But the tv is still doing the same. The power light will blink then stay on for 5 seconds then blink again and go off. I checked the lamp door and make sure the light was not loose and the problem still the same. I use the troubleshoting guide and it all guide me to be the lamp. But now I purchased the light and I still can't watch tv.
I have the same problem, buy a replacement lamp, installed it, close the back door (click on), power on, the TV power indicator blinks for 15sec, then off, power on again, the same thing...
Try to place DVD through the TV, no voice, no picture, call the lamp company - seems to be the TV problem; called RCA, seems to be TV problem too.
Now it seems I have to call the tech to my house...
Any suggestion?I have the same problem, buy a replacement lamp, installed it, close the back door (click on), power on, the TV power indicator blinks for 15sec, then off, power on again, the same thing...

I have an RCA Rear Projection that does the power light cycle deal about once a year. I happened upon a solution by accident last year by basically unplugging everything in the set for a visual check but I think just figured out what I did to fix.
I have seen many posts related to unplugging the power for hours or days to drain the capacitor and just happened upon one tonight mentioning to push the power button to quickly drain the capacitor before working on the set.
I just tried powering up my set for the millionth time this month since it went dead again.. nothing. Unplugged, held the power down for about 15 seconds... plugged in and powered up.. power light flashed once, then the set engaged. I'm back in action!

There are many different problems with RCA televisions. One could be a color wheel. Another could be a bad ballast. www.Lamp-Replacement.com has a guide and solutions for your RCA lamp 265866 or 270414. The problem is most likely a bad ballast, which is supposed to pre-charge your lamp and ignite it. If you aren't even getting to that stage, you can trace the problem to another component or power supply.

Most Dlp sets have a fan for cooling the bulb this should start at switch on if it doesnt bulb will not light.
Check fan is pluged in & that blades can turn freely.

DLP TV Won't Turn On Common How to Replace Ballast DeadTV ... solid green power light plus sound ...
I wish I am not retired now I would still have access to RCA or figured it out my slelf.
Unless you are worried about saving electricity Let the thing stay on It will still last for years and cost less then reapair ..Don
If capacitors are swollen,vented or puffed up on top replace them .You may just need to replace your Lamp.CK all fans make sure they are running. Mats Electronics has Best Price for Lamps 1-800-628-1118
Let me know if you need more help.
Check your color wheel. There is a DIY guide for replacing the color wheel. Mine did the same thing yours is and my color wheel was all busted up. Unfortunately after replacing the color wheel my set continues to do the same thing, but this could mean I need to replace the ballast as well.
TV won’t turn on
• Press the TV button or ON/OFF button while remote is in TV mode and there’s a source of power to the outlet or outlet strip.
• Make sure the TV is plugged in.
• You might have tried to turn on the TV during the lamp cool-down. Wait a few moments and the picture will appear.
• Has the power light on the front of the TV been blinking for one minute? If so, the lamp may be dead. Refer to the Power indicator
is blinking or fl ashing section below for more information.
• When you fi rst plug your TV into an outlet, the Power indicator on the front panel will light and blink for approximately 30 seconds
and then go off during the initialization of the TV. This happens only when power is reapplied to the TV. The TV can only be turned
on after the Power indicator goes off.
• Check the wall receptacle (or extension cord) to make sure it is “live” by plugging in something else, such as a lamp.
• Something might be wrong with your remote control. Press the POWER button on the front of the TV. If the TV turns on, check the
remote control solutions on page 84.
• Remote Setup might be set to the wrong option. Press MENU/OK on the front panel. Select Connections, then Special Features, then
Remote Setup. Choose TV (default).
Power indicator is blinking or fl ashing
If the light blinks 5 times, pauses, and blinks again 5 times, the lamp is trying to turn on. If the TV doesn’t turn on after 5 minutes and
then the light blinks steadily for one minute, one of the following options is possible:
• Lamp door may be open.Face the back of the TV. Locate the door at the bottom of the TV and close it. Turn off the TV and turn
back on. The lamp should turn on.
You can easily replace the lamp yourself by following the lamp replacement instructions. If your TV is still covered by
the warranty, call 1-866-723-6486 to receive troubleshooting assistance and a lamp replacement.
• If your TV’s warranty has expired, call 1-800-338-0376 to purchase a lamp replacement.
To order the correct lamp, you’ll need to know your TV’s model number, serial number, and lamp type—this
information is listed on the Service Model Number sticker (example of the sticker is shown above). Face the back of
the TV. The sticker is located on the right side of the TV.
the 5 blink error is caused by faulty capacitors on the power board. There is a kit called the ATC336 power supply repair kit which contains the replacement capacitors and instructions that will usually repair that. You can get the repair kit at the following link. http://servicemanuals.vstore.ca/
sounds like the DM3 isnt powering up the ballast to light the lamp or the ballast may be faulty. i would suggest trouble shooting the DM and ballast voltages.
IF you would like help diagnosing your set. Go to the enclosed link. They have the service manual for your set and offer unlimited chat support for only 29.99. Just click on your sets manufacturer and you will see your model. Then click on the contact us link and provide your email address and they will email your manual and instructions on how to obtain your support. I am one of their techs. This manual contains step by step procedure for troubleshooting Your RCA DLP Light Engine http://servicemanuals.vstore.ca/
Sounds like it could be the entire light engine. The part is available on the Internet, but it runs $700 - $1200 without the lamp (although it sounds like you could use your existing lamp without a problem). These parts, however, are notoriously hard to find and may be backordered for months.
I have the same problem, buy a replacement lamp, installed it, close the back door (click on), power on, the TV power indicator blinks for 15sec, then off, power on again, the same thing...
Try to place DVD through the TV, no voice, no picture, call the lamp company - seems to be the TV problem; called RCA, seems to be TV problem too.
Now it seems I have to call the tech to my house...
