Red lamp light blinking. i hit power, (green) light blinks button several times while i hear a wierd loading sound several times also. the green light changes to red and blinks for a while. can i fix this?
My tv did the same thing and since I was getting it to work most of the time I didn't do anything until the lamp went out alltogether. If you also get a warning that your lamp needs to be replaced, you better get one. You can get them pretty cheap on EBay and on the web if you google them. Approx. $140 if you search maybe less. From Panasonic it is over $550. It was easy to replace but still cant get the lamp timer meter to reset in mine. Good luck with itl.

the kill switch is open ensure the lamp cover presses firmly on the kill switch when u close the lamp chamber door the red light will stop blinking and u can now turn the tv on
Sounds like your lamp has failed. May not be physically blown but the 5 blink code indicates either the lamp or ballast has failed. Normally its the lamp. Good Luck!
Hi, TV needs lamp replacement as existing lamp got weak or has been reached to end of its working life, please note that lamp is not dead or broken so that is why lamp lit is not lit at tv front. Hope these info will help you. Thanks.
Quick question. When you press the power button, does the unit attempt to power up and you hear a relay click and shuts down to just the blinking light?
I get 5 blinking red lights for about a minute or so before it powers back down. The Sony TV has a specific light that i presume is supposed to light up when the bulb is out. I'm unsure if this is what it is. no picture, no sound. tries to boot with green light blinking a few times. then goes to red blinking light, six in all, then waits a few moments, then another 6 blinking red light.
Bulb was already replaced several months ago but we do have the TV on for long periods of time.
