Flashing red and yellow light on mitsubishi tv

SOURCE: Mitsubishi lamp

I have been trouble shooting this with the dealer for two days and here it is:
The TV sensors are very touchy – and it HATES DIRT so if you replaced the LAMP – go back and RE CLEAN THE FILTER and CLEAN OUT THE LAMP COMPARTMENT with a Blower or a Brush, but first turn off the TV for about 15 minutes. I did not clean out the lamp compartment, and the dealer said that the Fans sense the dirt and will not work because of that.
THEN make sure that your screws are replaced back in the holes in the cover plate that have the little errors over them. The cover plate AGAIN is very sensitive to the functioning of the TV. If you don’t believe me – check it out, when the light is blinking yellow on the status button, PRESS ON the filter cover OR the lamp light cover and see if it the light turns off, because that is what the status light is telling you the problem is about per the owners manual.
Well a clean machine is a happy machine – hope this resolves all your problems and saves everyone a lot of heartache!

Wow I may have just fixed the flashy yellow status light problem. It's so siple yet so difficult. Looking at the front of your T.V. on the left hand side bottm there is a door for a filter. SMACK IT. if the door isn't shut all the way that status light will flash. Mine is turning on now, just have to work on the major problem now :) Hope you have the same simple problem.
