Just replaced the lamp in my Samsung DLP and still no picture just audio. Heard something about a code to reset timer / hours counter. Any Ideas/

Hope this helps:

Resetting the counter Once you have installed your OEM replacement lamp, resetting the counter is a very simple procedure:
• Begin with the TV powered off.
• Point your remote towards your TV.
• Press:
• Menu + 1 + 8 + 2 + Power.
• Your TV set should now say "Loading Factory".
• Browse down to "Option" then press Enter (or the right cursor button).
To exit the service menu, hit press the EXIT button or just turn off your TV (remember not to turn on your TV immediately afterward!).
NOTE: The Mute+1+8+2 buttons needs to be pressed down consecutively and fairly quickly. If your TV does not enter the service menu after using this combination, you can substitute MENU instead of MUTE. This seems to work for some sets. Also, the right cursor arrow also acts as the ENTER button, so try it if you're having difficulty with the ENTER button.

Hi,Does tv try to start and does it make a clicking sound? If it does it could be an issue with the ballast which is the board that powers the lamp.Check if fans are running ok, dust them out. Also reset lamp timer , here's how: http://www.fixyourdlp.com/2007/02/15/resetting-your-samsung-dlp-lamp-hour-meter-counter/ Here's the ballast you will need http://www.discount-merchant.com/We-provide-factory-original-parts-worldwide-p/1074215-n-fslash-a.htm Here's instructions to replace it: http://guides.fixyourdlp.com/samsung/bp47-00033a.php God bless you!

when the timer light is turn ON, tv is telling you that lamp will be going out soon, is basically a hour meter, it just reach the limit of hours that tv haves program of use for a lamp and that you can reseted by:
1.- taking the lamp out nad in again, that way tv will detect there is a new lamp. If not.
2.- folow the instructions: http://www.fixyourdlp.com/blog/2007/02/15/resetting-your-samsung-dlp-lamp-hour-meter-counter/

Check that when you turn on the TV the Lamp is striking (turning on).

My thoughts are that you will have to reset the lamp hours counter to make it work, as the TV does not know that you have replaced the lamp. To do this, check the leaflet that comes with the lamp - it should explain how to reset the counter for the lamp hours.
