My NEC vt 595 was working fine last night and today i went to turn it on the status and power light started flashing red and orange and there is no picture

That is a problem with the lamp. Replace it with a known good one.

It is the bulb 6 red flashing is a lamp problem. Replace it.

How old is the lamp?

Same thing happened to me! Went to bed last night, everything was fine. Woke up today, orange light came on, no display, slight flickering seen, but that's it. Cables and cords are fine, tried unplugging and plugging it back in, NOTHING. Totally dead. I'm guess off to buy a new one today. Typical made-in-China JUNK.

I had this same problem with 2 NEC VT595 projectors. My problem was that there was a broken "tab" on the lamp cover (the plastic cover that slides in place over the lamp) that is supposed to depress a switch which insures the lamp cover is in place before operating the projector. The tab was broken in half and not making the connection there for causing the blinking status light (.5 sec on, 2.5 sec off) indicating a lamp housing or cover error.

Make sure all the air filter caps are all the way in and nothing is broken from it. that was my cause..i had the same problem

if the status light is flashing .5 seconds on and 2.5 seconds off - you need to replace the lamp cover correctly.
if the status light is flashing .5 seconds on and .5 seconds off in 2 - 6 cycles the error is: 2 cycles - the projector is overheated. Move the projector to a cooler location, or/and remove dust in the light path. 3 cycles - the power unit is not working correctly. 4 cycles - the fans are not working correctly 5 cycles - lamp fails to light. Wait a full minute and then turn on again.

Reset the lamp and try it.

try pressing and holding the enter button on the projector for about 30 seconds - this resets it. It worked for me!!

Try pressing the HELP button. Don't release and press the power button. The LED lights should blink. Release then try to power on again.
