We have a Mitsubishi 65 inch dlp hd 1080p and we had a bad storm but we do have a surge protector on the tv. When we went to watch the tv after the storm it turned on fine but the dish had to reboot. After watching for about 5 min we heard a loud snap come from the tv followed by a worrying sound about ever 30 seconds. The red light came on from with no picture. Any suggestions?

You need to replace the "light engine". This is very very difficult. You need to take it to a repair shop. But this will be very expensive. Around $1,000.00

SOURCE: My DLP TV made a loud popping sound then went off

first. unplug the set for 5 minutes and see if it will reboot. if it does not the you have 2 problems, the chassis is also bad. next open the lamp door cover, it is behind the speaker grill, and behind the lamp door.
take out the lamp and see if it has broken on the inside if it has it needs to be replaced. mits will send you one i believe it is about 100.00 the number is 915P020010. if the lamp looks ok then the color wheel has probably fallen apart.if this is the case the light engine need to be repaired. check out www.tv-techs.com

let it start up you will here things happening, engine will start first then a buzz to start the lamp if you here all of this you have a bad lamp.You should have a error code let the tv try to start leave it alone and see if you have an error. As soon as you reset the tv you loose the error.

Following up on my Feb 7 post. My new lamp arrived, and I replaced it and it works great. The old lamp had many shards of glass come out of it. It was tore up. I saved some money buy purchasing just the lamp and not the cartridge. It's a little bit more work to take apart, but saves money. Mitsubishi wanted $289 for the lamp replacement kit. I got a lamp for $114. TV is working just fine now!
