If it loud humming noise when you turn it on - touch the side of the TV. If it's vibrating enough for you to feel it - you have problem with color wheel. It could be separate replaceable part or it could be integrated part of optical engine.
If you hear buzzing sound that goes off and then back on couple of times - could be bad lamp (even new one), bad connection between lamp and ballast (lamp power supply), or bad ballast.
If you have to replace optical engine and you out of the warranty - don't bother with repair. It would be not less than $600-$800. Invest in new TV.

    Thanks, because I have the exact symptoms you described here also. The lamp was just replaced less than one year ago and now the humming sound and the lights blink twice on the left side,red, and then twice on the right side, two times and then it powers itsself off. Thanks for your comments.

No pic or sound. the stand by light blinks green then the lamp light blinks red untill it turns off all toghther. the lamp is broken i just want to know if that is the only problem or if the driver may...

Hi,

Flashing green standby led light at the front panel is an indication that the unit waiting for the lamp to turn on. Since the lamp led light flashes, the unit sensed it already burned out.
Faulty lamp driver has a different error code which is "flashing of the standby light 5 times".
Your unit will back to normal operation again after the lamp replacement.

Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.

Tv will not power up - makes a weird noise and red light blinks constantly.

It sounds like a bad lamp, a bad lamp driver or a combination of the two. Be aware that sometimes a bad lamp driver will blow a perfectly good lamp, so if you're not sure which is causing the problem, replacing BOTH would probably be the best course of action

Panasonic TV

Good Day,christie511;
It sounds like the lamp is in need of replacement. You could call a service company to replace the lamp, but it is so easy to replace the lamp ones self. So, call Panasonic and order the lamp, they will send to your home with instructions.
Three screws and your home free!
Good Luck, Big Irish.

Hewitt Packard high definition DLP tv Product #EX543AA#ABA need part, hp no longer carries them.

I have a brand new L2114a lamp for sale. I paid 299 plus shipping on ebay but it turned out to be the wrong one (despite what the manual says). I ordered the correct one I needed from HP. I am willing to part with it for 200. I can send pictures of the lamp and the box and the reciept. This is a BRAND NEW LAMP.

This lamp works in the following televisions and replaces the lamps listed below:
HP Pavilion md5020n 50-inch High Definition DLP TV L1735A
HP Pavilion md5820n 58-inch High Definition DLP TV L1736A
HP Pavilion md6580n 65-inch High Definition DLP TV L1737A
HP Pavilion md5880n 58-inch High Definition DLP TV L1798A
