HOW DO I REST THE BULB LIFE ON MY Panasonic PT-AX200U

You are experiencing Power Fluxuation. The Power Supply seems to be going out or on the way out... How old is the TV? Is it still under warranty?

It could be your source and not the projector. If it is a laptop then hit function four and change how it shares display. Over all I need more info as to how it is plugged in and what you are trying to view from.

how may hours has your lamp done?
if you have crossed more than 1500 hours , u may need to change the lamp.
the problem could however be that of the signal cable which could be intermittent and causing similar fault.
check if the same problem is seen in all inputs!

It seems that most everyone who owns the Panasonic PT-AX200U has this problem. I believe it is on the lens inside on the glass. I'm not sure how to get to it either. Maybe this forum will help.I'm going to read it now. http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/archive/index.php/t-1166504.html

carefully take the lamp cover off, and see if there is any glass pieces inside. if all looks Ok, then unscrew the lamp housing and remove the lamp. check for any damage. be careful not to damage the lamp or bump it. These lamps generally contain mercury vapour, so try not to inhale anything if it's broken.

your projector is detecting it is overheating, check that nothing is blocking the vents and that the fans are not clogged. If the vents and fans are dirty clean thema paintbrush and hoover. If they arent then the lamp maybe the culprit

hi,
try one thing reset ur projectors lamp hour and the try
follow the procedure for lamp reset
1. power on the projector
2. press the menue button
select options and then press enter
select lamp rutime
press and hold enter buttonfor 3 seconds
confirmation screen will display and select ok
press power buttonfor turn offfor resetting the duration of the LAMP RUNTIME
confirm theduration of time in lamp run time

So, Shutting down to protect itself. The error light says it needs service, Cycling power makes it work for a few more minutes, then the Panasonic safety circuit shuts it down. Projector shuts down when bulb life gets to the danger zone, and also when its heat sensor says there is a problem.
So you have a bulb life issue or you have a dirty projector / fan cooling issue??

I say clean it up with some compressed air when it is cool, then check the # of hours the bulb has on it (in the menu).

Lastly brace yourself, the bulb is gonna hurt you :-$

Hi:

The problem here is the one of the miniature LCD screens in the unit is faulty, in this case its the blue one. There are three of them inside the unit RED<GRN<BLUE. The blue seems to be failing in your unit, for instance if you mix red and green you get yellow. Have a local shop service the unit and clean and refocus the unit back to factory spec's..

If you want just the bulb and not the complete lamp, try http://www.lumenarc.co.uk.
