Hi,

There are usually several micro switches (little metal levers) inside the projection tv - most commonly by the lamp assembly and behind the lamp door.

It's possible either:

a) the lamp is not fully seated into position - ensure the lamp assembly is locked into position and that all screws have been secured, which will correctly close the micro switch.

b) the lamp door is slightly misaligned - ensure the door is aligned properly (do not force it) and all screws MUST be secured into place, which will correctly close the micro switch.

If the above items are in their correct positions, then you may need to test the 'continuity' of the switches (open & closed) using a multimeter, to determine whether you many have a faulty micro switch.


Hope this helps..

    Also, whenever a lamp is replaced, you should have the "Lamp Timer" reset (in the service menu).

Status indicator flashes 3 short times, then one long red flash

Once the status light blinks 3 times, this is an indication that there's a problem with the lamp. The lamp may need a replacement.

If you replace the lamp, but get the same problem, check the inverter board.

If you're not sure where the inverter board is, then you may need to contact a pro for your safety.

Good luck and have a good evening!

Flashing green and red light

Sounds like a power suppply problem. Not something that the novice can repair besides trying the usual unplugging and plugging back in.
