    TV just shut off followed by blinking red light. Unplugged TV from power source and then plugged it back in. Green light blinks and turns to blinking red. Lamp light was on but only the first time. Now it is not on. Replaced lamp 1 1/2 years ago but we received a warning on the screen. Original lamp lasted 3 years. This time no warning. Only way to turn off TV is to turn off the power source. Should we change the lamp again?

Sounds like the lamp needs to be replaced.

Before any repair or replacement, unplug the tv from the electricity for an hour, plug it in. This forces a system reset on the tv and may solve the problem. More likely you need a new lamp.

Luxor tv will not power up and red light just keep flashing

I just pull out the mains plug for a few seconds then put it back in. The red light keeps flasing for a while (be patient) then stays solid red. When I then switch on again with the remote it is fine. I often have to do this.

Akai PT5598HDX/SMS won't turn on

Just a thaught, I could be wrong, maybe a problem with the power button on the remote ? It might shut the TV off, and when you do keep pressing the remote button, the red light on the TV will keep flashing like that also. Ive seen this prob on a few other blogs, so seems to be pretty common. I know I like to keep the remote pointed at the TV all the time, maybe try pointing it away for a while, just to see.
