Green Timer lights blinks for about 10 sec. Then Lamp light, then nothing

the green light blinking is normal if set has been unplugged--when set is plugged back it should blink for about 70 seconds and then go out--then you can try to turn it on---it is the DM unit inside the set booting up.

If the light just blinks and never stops you have likely bad caps in the DM unit---there are kits available for that.

The other possible reason is that so called reset switch may be bad--fairly easy way to find that out and it is more common than you would think, let me know if you have questions.

SD TECH

If color wheel does not run lamp will not fire----with lamp removed have you looked at the wheel----if not running it will cause almost instant shutdown of lamp and the set.

If the DMD board is bad time for a new set as it is well over 500 .

Are you sure you installed the lamp properly and put the door back so the interlock switch is functioning. Sometimes installing the lamp will get slightly displaced and is not plugged up properly and will indicate a lamp blinking light.

I would say that it probably is a bad capacitor on the power supply board of the tv. What you want to look for is any round cylinders with the tops pushed up at all. The replacements are usually really cheap, it might also be the lamp, but usually when lamps go they go completely while a bad capacitor is known to cause intermittent problems that escalate into a tv only working for about 5-10 seconds.

you need to reset the lamp timer

The color wheel needs replacing. Thats causing the whining and it will also make the lamp light blink.

Re-position the safety switch behind the lamp door and if still the same try replacing the lamp.

I had the same problem, but I saw the events leading to it. I was watching TV, went to help the wife, heard a pop, came back to find the TV off. Turned it on, heard the same click you described. I believe you need a new bulb. Mine lasted around 2 years of heavy use. Bought two on ebay. Make sure to consult your manual for the particulars on the bulb.

There is a tiny reset button to the left of the timer light. Press with a pin or something small, wait 60 seconds. Viola!

Mine was having the same problem. Just heard back from the shop and they said it's the light engine. They want $750 to fix!!!
