You need to reset the lamp timer.
Wait for the warning to disappear, Press and hold the volume - (down) on TV and hit split/play or PIP on remote, release all buttons and wait about 10 seconds and that is it.

hello

Hold the Vol down button on the TV and the Split button on the REMOTE for five seconds, -or- Press the Volume button on the TV while pressing hte SPLIT button on the Remote Control for five seconds

It will NOT work if you try to do it both from your remote!

They're not even listing, their contact phone number on the website, just in case you need to return it. I would buy from a solid, company like https://www.encompassparts.com.
Good luck

Without more information it is going to be hard to help you. I assume you mean the TV has a warning of lamp problems. Means you need to replace the lamp. Go to www.partstore.com and put in your sets information. You should be able to find the lamp you need. Get it. Your owners manual should tell you how to replace or at least where the lamp housing is. Open the housing, remove the old lamp, install the new lamp, close properly and you should be good to go. Let me know how it works out.

Ballast failure is more that likley the problem. Is the lamp light blinking,...once every 5 seconds? Discontinued part and can only be purchased used or rebuilt. Rebuilt units are available, check Ebay. Have a service type person confirm problem before throwing good money after bad!

Is the lamp light blinking twice every 5 seconds or once every 5. Once every 5 sec. lamp failure,...twice every 5 sec.. ballast or thermal fuse. The ballast is discontinued and must be rebuilt or purchased used,.....try Ebay. NO TV REPAIR SHOP IS GOING TO HAVE THE BALLAST! They may be prudent enough to check into and find the rebuild kit for the ballast. FYI a rebuilt ballast costs around $175.00 ,....the rebuild kit costs anywhere from $12.00-$55.00

Is the lamp indicator light flashing? A new lamp may not solve the problem. The known problem with lamp failures is poor voltage output from the ballast,.. a problem Panasonic refuses to correct and they decided to no longer provide the repair part through their supplier in an attempt to sweep this problem under the rug.
Lamp light flashing once every 5 seconds or twice every 5? Twice every 5 seconds,....lamp failure, once every 5 seconds,...ballast or thermal fuse failure. You have a lamp, ballast or thermal fuse problem. The ballasts are a discontinued part and can only be purchased used at approx. $225.00 or rebuilt for around $175.00 less any service charges to diagnois and repair.

Check on You Tube there is a video that will walk you through it. Be sure it is the lamp that is the problem before you spend your hard earned money.

On the 50" pt-lc13 there are two behind the front center cover. They are foam type filters for the projection engine. Remove front deco panel then, the two screws on the center panel,..you will see them. They are meant to be cleaned with the projection engine out of the unit during professional service..Not easy to get too and they do get clogged.

It is the balister not the lamp. Very common problem that Panasonic will not address. Costs over $600 to repair. file a complaint with consumer affairs please.
