Make sure the AC power source is uninterrupted, plug into a wall to see if this fixes problem. Lamps should be replaced as soon as there is a problem - dim picture or intermittent operation of tv. Mitsubishi lamps last an average of 1-3 years. If you run a lamp longer than 3 years, older lamps start running hotter. When they run hotter, they will damage the optical engine, causing discoloration or the cooling fan to go out. The problem your tv has is that the power/digital module is in the process of going out. There are numerous capacitors that blow, and sometimes the digital board fails. You need to have an authorized shop pull the digital/power module and send to Mitsubishi for rebuild. We charge $225 labor and $300 for the part in our shop for this. It is a good (but expensive) fix!

I got the 'lamp needs replacing' message. Ignored it. Now my tv screen is black when you try to turn it on and the blue button on the power button flashes?

You haven't replaced the lamp at time. Replace a new lamp along with its ballast and make a lamp time reset. If you wish to get more details about the lamp replacing procedure to Panasonic PTVs, check this link.

Reset the lamp hours through the TV setup menu each time you replace the lamp cartridge. Otherwise,
the lamp warning message will reappear sooner than necessary.

After you change the lamp cartridge, you must reset the lamp

Go to the setup menu, there you can see the reset proceedings with illustration. OK.

Ink system has failed 0xc18a0206

This is easily fixed with the following key sequences. You do NOT have to open the printer and unplug a circuit board.

1) press * and # at the same time
2) press 1, 2, 3 and “support R0632M” should display
3) press > and “information menu” should display
4) press > and “configuration menu” should display
5) press OK and “hardware failure status” should display
6) press OK “failure status: clear”. Press OK to clear
7) press CANCEL
8) press CANCEL
9) press CANCEL
10) turn printer off, unplug power cord for 2 minutes, plug cord back in then turn printer back on.
NOTE: I did this and the fist time the error came back. Do the sequence again (as I did) and the error will be replaced with the usual print cartridge initialization screens. Print a test page to make sure.
