The lamp continues to flash red lights for power and lamp

A continuous flashing red light with the word LAMP on it would definitely mean you're going to need to spend a few bucks on a new lamp....or for a few more, upgrade to a TV from this century that doesn't require lamp changes :)

If the LAMP INDICATOR flashing red then.
Problem: Lamp circuit failure
Sulution: your two lamps are ok you need to repair the lamp drive circuit this is repairable and if you don't want to repair you buy a new one lamp circuit and install it.

maybe ... the first thing you do with any dlp physically remove the lamp and check to see if the bulb is blown. Now this does not nesarlly mean bulb is good but ussally if they are bad they are blown.

That means that the bulb is bad and beeds to be replace, This usually happens after 1000 hours of use.

I have PJ 550 exact SAME PROBLEM replaced bulb NOTHING

Hi.
Look at the base of the bulb at the filament in the center of the bulb, if buldging change he bulb first. If the porblem continues then have the units Ballast or Sometimes called the lamp driver check and replace if defective. The cheapest way is the check the voltage at the lamp connections in the housing for At least 280 volts, while turning on the unit you will need a voltage meter to do this.

LCD projector 101, your blue device is dying inside of projector. Consider purchasing a dlp based product, they do not suffer from color decay.

Really you are blessed , most lcds last about 3-4000 hours or 4 lamp changes. good luck

1. Switch the power on.
2. Hold the Reset Button down for three seconds until the lamp timer is displayed at the bottom of the viewing area.
3. Press the left arrow to select 0. Then wait for the lamp timer display to disappear.

Lamp Timer is now reset.

I had a similiar problem... I had to replace my bulb, which means $$$!

According to the E44W48LCD service manual, the temperature indicator red light states the projection TV shut down due to overheating. Red (flashing) states the projection TV shut down, check the cooling fan.
