Make sure its an original Osram or Philips bulb inside the housing. If its a cheap lamp it will act this way. If it is an original lamp, then you may have a power supply issue. It shouldn't affect your TV but you may want to try resetting the lamp timer by following the instructions that came with the lamp.

While pressing the VOL- button on the projection display, hold down the number 0 button on the remote control at the same time for more than 5 seconds.
Problem w/ OEM bulb, it causes a lot of issues from my experience. Your ballast might have gone bad, hopefully it's just that. Check the voltage output of the ballast, make sure you're getting the proper amount.
Had that problem and replace the lamp twice, I finally replaced the optic block.
It is quite involved to replace, if not technical get professional help.
the 5 blinks is indicating the lamp driver (ballast) has failed. You can get the replacement ballast for your model at the top of the following page http://tvcircuitboards.com/sony_projection__dlp_circuit_boards They can also assist with installation information,
A continuous flashing red light with the word LAMP on it would definitely mean you're going to need to spend a few bucks on a new lamp....or for a few more, upgrade to a TV from this century that doesn't require lamp changes :)
I am having the same problem as mg2low. I changed the lamp, but my Sony KF60WE610 still will not turn on. It flashes green several times then it begins to flash red. Can you recommend some trouble-shooting for me? Thanks, Richard
do this. press and hold device and menu button on set for 5 seconds. this will retrieve a 2 digit error code .. the led will flash the first digit and pause the flash second digit. This unit is known to have capacitor problems on the power board. getting to these capacitors involves taking alot apart. let me know error codes and we can continue troubleshooting
i also have the same problem with the flashing green light for a while then a different red light starts blinking on and off around 5 times....and i replaced my burnt bulb with a new one...still no picture.
