Panasonic PT-44LCX65 Projection TV

THE AIR FILTERS ARE INSIDE THE ENGINE YOU MUST TAKE APART MANY PIECES LET A REPAIR CENTER DO THIS!!

Tv needs a software reset using a special jig that only an authorized Panasonic servicer will have.

use vacuums....

Howdy,
The problem is with the EEPROM in the TV that needs to be reprogrammed. But you need to have the proper Correction Tool (LSUQ0100).
I don't think it's available to the public. Call a Service Company, but make sure they have the “Correction Tool”.

Thanks for using FIXYA, big IRISH.

The problem is the computer in the TV is set to hold data for 2500 "On/Offs" Once you turn the TV on and off 2500 times, the dots start to appear as the computer cannot store anymore date. Call Panasonic, they will send a tech to your house for free and reset the computer and update it at the same time from 2500 to 1 million on/offs so it wont happen again. It takes maybe 10 mins to complete.

Hope this helps.

The fix for the air filter problem also you are probably getting the on screen message clogged filter also. It can be repaired by relacing the light engine (VERY EXPENSIVE) or remove the light engine and clean the filter much less cost infact none if you know how.
To clean the filter you must remove light engine and you will see at the top a black housing with two screws that must be removed to remove light engine.
A service maual on how to remove light engine is very helpful wich can be ordered on the internet. Any way you want to remove 4 screws from the housing you will then see the filter and 4 more screws to remove in all four corners, remove the screws and then pry the rectangular filter out of the assembly. This may take some effert so be careful. Look at filter through light it will probably be dirty wash with water and blow it out with comprssed air look at it through to insure it is clean then reinstall .Reassemble and you should be good to go.

The air filter is in front of the tv pop off the front and it is in a screwed panel you can take it off but i vac it out and air dust it out and it works great u need to not smoke around the tv or burn candles around it hope it helps

The air filter should be a user-accessible thing. Consult your owners manual for details. Can you find the manual?

I also have this problem. TV is 2 years old. Service tech says the repair will cost about $600 per spot. I have 4 spots
