Hi,If the lamp didn't do the work it could be that the problem is with something else.If you hear clicking or like wanting to turn on it could be the board that powers the lamp it's called the ballast.Do you hear buzzing or high pitch sounds? If you do it could be a problem with the color wheel.The color wheel is a rotating disc that has a gamma of colors it spins at high rpms.The light of the lamp goes through it to create the colors on your tv.When it starts to go bad you will get color distortion ,black and white picture and sometimes you will hear humming noises.Make sure the door cover is properly shut other wise it wont lamp light up.
Actually that humming sound was not the lamp, the humming sounds come from color wheels when they're going out, and since the color wheel is part of the light engine system and it's not working, that's why you don't have an image, you'll probably ask your self why, since it's not the lamp..
the thing is that the light engine system is componed by lamp, ballast, color wheel and dmd board, so when one of these doesn't work, there will be no image reflected, because they work together
Your color wheel needs to be changed. Mine just did the same thing. I changed mine, and the buzzing sound went away, however now my picture washes out with light or yellow colors. The darks look green and purple also.
Can you reseat the lamp? Don't forget to unplug the TV of course, but sometimes the connection between the lamp and TV degrade due to heat contraction and cooling. Some TV's provide an error code by having LED's flash a certain way, is this what you mean by lights flashing?
Sounds like a problem with the color wheel. Unfortunately the color wheel is located inside the light engine. According to everything I have read, the only thing you can do is replace the light engine. You are better off replacing the TV. The light engines can run form $750 to $1400. Which is ridiculous!
was the lamp blown if it was blown you could be hearing the ballast
if the lamp was not blown and the new one did not fix it the red light indicates the door there is a little switch when you put the door back on if you look at it it may need to be adjusted so it will connect with the door if that is not it you could have a fan that is not turn if it is making a real loud constant humming noise while it trying to fire the lamp you probably have a bad color wheel
When we turn our TV the humming and buzzing begins! We cn mute it and it goes away and then it when we turn the sound back on the sound is back! How can we fix this?
