Brief picture for 30 seconds, then lamp button blinks

Sent me the serial number, and I can check for any re-call ...

Found that the thermistor/temp measuring device is suspect, no resistance across legs. There is a label there that says F701 see service manual

I went here for a tech manual for the Panasonic tv.

then ordered
Manufacturer: Panasonic
Part Description: FUSE
Part Number: LSJA0411-1
from PartStore.com
it was mounted to the case that holds the lamp. had to remove the back panel, etc. Also think I had to splice in the fuse or something. was a while ago.

i purchased a NTE8115 from my electronics supplier, closest I could find. Radio shack also has them.

remove the back cover and measure for continuity across the thermal fuse
above the lamp housing.
if open jump it wth a 5 amp fuse, be sure to close the safety switch with
the small blue lever then try to power on.
If comes on ok you will need to replace the entire ballast assembly to get
that fuse.
Panasonic does not have a part number for just the fuse on the PT40LC
series.
It is possible to cut off the fuse and replace with another but dont solder
