Hi my name is Eric,

I can help you with your issue,

Please tell me what lights are blinking?

Green continious

Red continous or repeating 3 4 6 or 9 blinks

If you need more assistance,please tell me your technical ability,

1 I can solder and check voltages and want to know what board/part is bad so I can fix it myself

2 I am pretty good at figuring things out, but do not want to open the Tv up

3 I just know how to turn on my TV

This way, I can help you without getting to technical unless needed.

If you have more questions you can still respond until this post expires,

I will reply asap

Thanks

Eric

Most likey You just need a new lamp

A repairman would charge about $400 to come and replace it for you, if you want to replace it yourself I can post details .

Where to buy it for about $130

Where it installs in the TV

Let me know you would like the extra info about doing it yourself

If you have more questions you can still respond until this post expires,

I will reply asap

Yes, I would like you to post details of how I can do it myself and exactly what lamp I am buying and where. With this information, I think we can conclude our session. Thanks in advance. Michael
