How much doe s the lamp cost? I never used it that much.

98 olds?
a bad lamp is a dead lamp , not stuck on.
so your input is false.
no the lamp does nothing at all but REPORT over heated.
please say the exact name of lamp, on the cluster.
and ask why it is stuck on.
the operators guide, says what, get it serviced.
diy persons, know it either telling the truth or fibbing
we use a meter to check engine heat if it is ok the lamp fibbing
the lamp fibs when the overheat sensor is bad
or the wire to it falls off and hits the body metal.

$36. for the cheapest http://www.ebay.com/itm/TV-Lamp-for-Samsung-HLP4663WX-XAA-HLR4667W-HLR5667W-BP96-00826A-BP96-00823A-/200830196472?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2ec2699af8

The lamp of quality cost about $150-$200. Check how much the service call will be. If too expensive, install it yourself

Replacement lamps with housing will cost between $175-200 at a retail store, this does not include installation. You can buy a lamp without the housing for near $75-100 but this requires you to remove the old lamp from the housing and installing the new lamp into the old housing, which can be tedious and potentially damaging if you do it incorrectly. BUY THE LAMP WITH THE HOUSING it will save you time and frustration.

If you are seeing the blue screen at startup, then the issue is more than likely not the lamp. What is your input source and what inputs are you connecting to?
