Why does your DLP TV keeps blowing Lamps every 3-6 months? Alot of technical research and technicians would say that its your Lamp Ballast. Reality would say that 85% of the time its your Fans inside of the TV.
You must clean All the fans inside the Television to preserve the life of the new lamp that you just replaced.
Great video, we got a Sony DLP in 2007 and got 15 years out of 2 OEM lamps. The last replacement lamp blew in 10 months. Blown lamp and housing had signs of overheating so we knew it had to be dust or debris in the fans. Watched your video and sure enough ours had 15yrs worth of dust. It's all clean now and the picture is amazing. Thanks again great content!
Thank you big dog! I was going to take my DLP to the dump due the cheap ass discount lamps I bought, after watching your video and taking another look at the back of my tv the casing and the fans were totally covered in dirt. Now everything is clean and dust free and works like new! Just in time for the super bowl!
Thank you BigDog. I am a 74 year old senior citizen and I can do this. I know it's dust on the fans because I have been doing some serious Spring cleaning for the last month and a half.
Thank you, just got this exact TV for free today and picture was dark. Ordered a bulb and plan to clean fans and vents when new bulb comes in. Thanks for video!
That will do it Crystal. Thanks for watchin!
bigdog8882, this worked like a charm. I cannot believe it. We have a 65-inch Mitsubishi, and we usually replace the lamp every two years or so. This time, the lamp failed after about five months. After looking at your video, I opened up the back cover and couldn't believe the chunk of gunk in there -- yuck. I cleaned it with a vacuum cleaner, two cans of air compressor and a small toothbrush -- just as you demonstrated -- and lo and behold, our big TV is back working again. Thank you so much. God bless you. Hitting the subscribe button right now ...
Thank you Very Much for your video! I've recently had a problem w/ my projection lamp shutting off within 8-10 minutes of turning on my 2006 Samsung DLP 67" TV. After the lamp shut off, the "Timer" and "Lamp" lights on the On/Off button would flash; if I restarted the TV, the lamp would then shut off within 2-3 minutes. I replaced the lamp w/ a new OEM lamp for the second time in 13 years, but the new lamp continued to function Exactly like the previous one: shutting off within 8-10 minutes, then shutting off 2-3 minutes if I turned the TV on again. After watching your video, I took out my home vacuum cleaner, attached the upholstery-drapery tool (with soft bristles) to the hose, and vacuumed all the open grates on the back side of the TV (they'd gotten clogged with dust). BIG DIFFERENCE: the projection lamp now shuts off about 10 minutes after starting the TV, but when I restart the TV with the "Timer" and "Lamp" flashing, the lamp stays on indefinitely. My theory: the dust clogging the grates was causing the operating temperature of the projection lamp to overheat and trigger the lamp shut off. I'll next follow your video's procedures for pulling out the assembly that includes the projection lamp and fan, and vacuum all dust in the area of the lamp and the fan cooling it. Hopefully this will solve the lamp shut-off problem completely.
I got the 72" model from my job 5 years ago and the first bulb lasted almost 8 years, I replaced it and the current bulb is going on maybe 7 years. It started humming, then buzzing and finally wouldn't come on. Took the back of and blew it out with compressed air. Minimal dust but it solved the issue.. Thanks!
Great thing about these Dlp's is that, one can find them anywhere! On the side of the road, people give'm away or one can buy'em for like $20 or so! People throw them out cuz' they don't know anything about them or because they just don't want to bother. Win win for someone like me! I come across them all the time!.
I would definitely roll them outside and then blow them off. I once made the mistake of blowing them off in my shop and I was sneezing for hours afterwards... Honestly, I think Dlp's are great looking tv's. Nice and sharp!
I know, I got 2 myself.
i couldn't make out what you said earlier about lamp choice. What brand do you recommend again?
Osram or Philips.
Metalunique I also agree the reason why people like these TVs is because they're huge everything about them looks really good once cleaned and taken care of. If you don't have any problems with your TV it look amazing personally I like them better than LEDs because of the size I just look like you're getting a better picture and like you said really cheap
YungGBone124127134 don't get Mitsubishi there garbage they have DMD chip problems and you will be ending up losing more than it's worth no matter how big the TV is there junk trust me I know I've wanted to get one too and I write about them and they said people always get the DMD chip problem and they might as well just throw them away
Excellent presentation in solving my lamp problem especially the dusk factor for which I am willing to pay.
Dude,This was highly beneficial and very informative. Thank you so much
You could use fabric softener sheets as a dust filter what I do is krazy glue the edges of the softer sheet to the outside of the vents or spray adhesive spray on the outside of the TV vents and stick your softener sheets to it you can pick it up at the Dollar tree they got the adhesive spray and the fabric sheets for $2 same thing with all your electronics computers TVs
Cool video. Thanks the advise on the fan cleaning. You mentioned two brands of lamps... what were they or what price range should we look for that’s not “cheap”
Keep making vids. 👍🏾
Thanks for the great video. I do buy the discount lamps since the original one blew, and they were doing pretty well. I had to do a light chip replacement (what a PITA!), and at that time had blown out the fans, didn't even think about it - there was dust when I cracked the case so took care of it and have killed 3 bulbs in the last 9 months - doy, right? I will clean them boogers before my next lamp shows up and do so every time I have to swap. Thanks bigdog!
I have a 73 mitsu dlp from 2009. model wd 73737. I have probably changed my bulb every year. My t.v. is on probably 90% of the day, there seems to always be someone watching it and you do not want to turn this t.v. on and off liberaly. I save my bulb by dimming it before i turn it off. What I mean is I put the picture mode into another mode that I have set with very low brightness and contrast. Then I turn it off. When you turn it back on the bulb will not be as stressed and therefore is less ap to pop or bust. Give it 5 min. then put the picture mode up to preference. I also put a tiny air cleaner near the back of the stand closest to the bulb. After a while no matter what it will have to be relamped for the best picture. That was just a tip if anyone wants to use it. THE PROBLEM I have is the picture is not as crisp and I pretty sure It needs to have the mirror cleaned or the inside of the screen cleaned. Problem is I am someone who thinks if it ain't broke don't fix it. IS THERE ANY TUTORIALS ANYONE HAS SEEN? OR ANY ADVICE?
Cynthia Sootkoos I have the same tv and I’m about to put another lamp in mine after I got a pro lamp and it only lasted 4 months this time and I took it apart and cleaned everything
My Mitsu lamp exploded today. Lamp lasted 3 yrs. It's expensive to replace and I'm tired of it. I just want a tv that lasts. I wont throw out my old tv's because one is from '88, others are from 90's and guess what❔ They still work just fine. But not these smart tv's. They're not smart. They're shit. Imho.
I bought my 65' Mitsubishi WD-65735 DLP tv in Jan 2009 and it's still going strong. I'm on my 3rd bulb for a tv about to be 9 yrs old. I'm retired. I had Directv now have Verizon Fios and I watch this tv around the clock for days because of what I pay. First bulb went out I was charged $100 for the visit and $100 for the lamp. After the 2nd one blew I went on youtube and learned how to change the bulb in 5 mins! I have 3 other smaller flat screens and want a new '65 4k tv but I'm waiting for this one to conk out. It has died 3 times with no picture, no sound and no green light and has revived itself each time. The last death watch when the screen froze with a blizzard pattern the week of black Friday 2016. It again rose from the dead and last week was 12 full months that this tv has been going strong since then. I just knew I'd been getting a new 4k tv this year but once again nope. I can't even give it away to family. No one has the room. (lol)
2004mojo wow!!
I use a 2" paint brush and a vacuum cleaner for cleaning fans. Good video anyway, thanks.
My Samsung DLP is 16 years old and the Philips lamp is 10 years old because I have installed a small square external exhaust fan blowing the inside air out. Dynamic setting causes more heat and less lamp hours.
how did you go about installing an exhaust fan?
When changing bulb, should I also be cleaning off mirror of dust too?
Yeah my last bulb lasted about 6 years, it used it for football some gaming! But now that I take fan you spoke of ,mimes got straight cake dust and trying to find something to clean it with, without taking things apart, other than that great tTV!
Sony kds-r50xbr1!
You forgot to mention sometime the Blast board could be dead too.Must clean out all dirts to the cooling fans devices that helping keeping the picture lamp clean,cool and can last you like a least 2-3 years.If you just watch like 2-3 hours a day only.
Your right Chi, a bad Lamp Balast could also cause premature Lamp failure. I should of mentioned that. Always clean the fans first. Then If balast is bad, in my experience the Lamp will probably only last a few Days.
I have a Sony Wega 70 inch which gives me 7 red flashing lights and takes a long time to come on. When I got it off the sidewalk it needed a bulb but it blew very quickly a couple of times. I spoke to a parts servicer and he says it probably is the ballast, what do you think? It also has a melted bulb door from the previous owner too but he said they don't make them anymore.
nice job ,best tech video I have seen on the subject
I actually had the same set except for it was the 67 in it was the Samsung hls6767room he was too big biggest mistake I made.so about eight months later our TV went out in the living room. This TV from the garage, used it for 5 minutes then a weird picture came up heard a pop. distorted looked very bad upon inspection found out the Dmd board technician told me it was the DMd boardrain got into it and rusted the DMD boardso I had to replace it. While replacing it I think we messed up the chip the DMD chip so we had to replace that overall a $30 TV ended up costing me almost 180 to 200 to fix but I ended up selling it eventually getting my money back out of it for 200 but it was sad because that was a great TV one of the best I ever seen but if you know what the problem could have been let me know. Thank you
Hey Mitsubishi keep turning off on its own you explain why it’s doing that recently we clean all the dust out of the tv a week ago it was working perfectly fine now a week later it won’t even stay on five mins
I have that exact tv. Replaced the lamp twice. I m learning that we need an up grade on the lamp. But our kill switch keeps kicking could that be replaced
What do you do if the TV keeps turning off but everything's clean? WD 65c9
I have a Philips 55 inch Dlp on wheels. Always kept it clean and replaced with Philips bulbs.
I now feel bad I tossed out an old Projection TV. I had no Idea how easy it would have been to make it bright with a new lamp.
I have a 73" dlp. The bulb blew up I went cheap on a bulb the TV would work good for a few minutes then the picture would go all screwed up like so bad you thought the color wheel was damaged I read online people having this problem and replacing every part with no luck. So I bought an expensive O.E. factory bulb put it in that fixed every problem TV has worked perfect for months now. So my advice always get an original bulb cheap ones don't work
Thank you for this video this is exactly what I'm going through with my 2005 Mitsubishi TV
Will it be ok if I use a high performance air compressor or a can of compressed air to blow the dust out of the entire tv?
Perfect.
I have a Samsung 50" DLP and need a new bulb. Does anyone know a good legitimate distributor for Philips bulbs? Everytime I think I've found one, there will be negative reviews of people saying they received knock off bulbs instead of the Philips bulb they think they are ordering.
Hey. This is our tv! Our bulb just blew. Hubby ordered a new one. Hopefully it works! I miss hulu 😭😭
Is your TV working with the new bulb?
@@jillj303 we had to order a mother board for the tv. When we got a new bulb and installed it, it blew almost immediately so we knew something else was going on... we checked on internal fans, they were all working so we took out the mother board to look at it and it was covered in dust just caked on... we were given this tv so we weren't the ones who never dusted it. When we saw the state of the mother board, my husband went on amazon and bought another one plus another bulb. Once we got both, we replaced the mother board first and then put ANOTHER new bulb in and voila! It works now.
@@christianhippie711 - Thank you for your reply. So glad to know your television is working. These are such nice units. My brother gave me his when he got a new tv. It's like a movie screen and great sound. I replaced the bulb but then the tv stopped working so we are troubleshooting and hoping it was just because I did not purchase a high quality bulb. Going to try one of the bulbs recommended in this video and hope that's all it is. Thanks again!
excellent, my problem is the dust, have to clean it.
In europe these sets where not very populare.. I saw them in stores back in the days and thought they where not bad, but at the same time plasma tvs came to europe and that was the tech I chose.. my first own bought tv was a panasonic plasma tv.. I would prefer a dlp with a glossy panel vs these matte.. Still an amazing tech..
Dog" great video how so I remove the panels too access the. Compartment in the video. I have a mitsubishi WDY65 TV
Interesting. Big help. Power clean plus service. Nice video, thank you.
Lamps and also the DLP chips can go bad with white dots
How often should I clean ?
Thats why an great vac is good to clean all the dust out
Thank you for the info I have a WD60C9 Mitsubishi DLP 1080 P I'm going to try that cause the bulb keeps on burning out LOl and I did buy a ghetto bulb Lol that's what I get for the cheap stuff anyway Thank you for the idea..Kim and Craig
Just took my moms apart this morning, thing kept turning off. Cleaned that mess, installed new Phillips lamp, thing is as good as new. Only thing is the green light on the front of the tv is always off now.
When your mitsubishi dlp tv kept shutting of and you cleaned the fans did you do it yourself or hire a tv professional to do it. Mine works but it shut of with a blinking yellow light indicator. So I guess its to hot right. So if I clean those fans it should be good you think.
samuraispiritsx why is the green light off after you cleaned the 📺. It doesn't turn off anymore does it
Where are u from and trying to see if I can bring my TV to u to fix it
Good job blowing the dust right back into the tv!
Well, there are a few things that go wrong with this genre of TV..
Color wheels, dirty lens and light tunnels, as well as LCD chips...
But, yes, the lamps and fans have to be maintained due to the amount of dust that accumulates in the blades as well as the squirrel cage fan.
Quick question. I was in a bind and needed to replace bulb. Buddy had a Phillips that technically wasn't made for my model t.v. but it worked. It fit right it, it worked for two days then nothing. Any idea why? Are they that sensitive to model specific bulbs?
just make sure that the voltage rating printed on the actual bulb is equal to or greater than the original.
@@bigdog8882 thanks bud. It was only 120-132w. The oem is 150-180 so I'm assuming that's why it only worked for a day
@@ejg34 Yeeaap! Make sure the fans are clean too. Thanks.
@@bigdog8882 blew them out last night. OEM bulb comes in today.
Wondering if you could install bigger cooling fans or ad extra fans or cut more cooling holes in the plastic tv covering ?
I was given a almost brand spanking new Sony Hdtv 3 Lcd Wega Engine model no. KDF-55E2000 manu in October 2006. My bossman gave it to me just as a make room for his NEW bigger tv for his bigger nice house haha.. He gave me the info about the lamp will need changing pretty soon. So the top of screen is kinda a purplish color all way cross it.. How do i know when to change lamp out??? I also have had ppl ask me if i wanted to sell it? Which i probably would but not for 20 to 50 buck's without 1 flaw or scratch etc... Like new..! So how much could i get for this great flawless engine tv??? Or what would you sell it for??? Any info would be awesome!! I enjoy watching your videos but can i change out the lamp or should i have someone do it? Thanks.
I follow your videos all the time about the Mitsubishi 73 dlp tv the only thing that that goes wrong is lamps and dlp chips if taken care off. You shouldn't have any more problems right
You can get both at shop jimmy.com
i just replaced my lamp approx. four months ago but now im getting a notice on my screen saying my bulb is getting to the end of its life....would it help now if i cleaned the fans ? thanks foryour help
what brand tv?
@@bigdog8882 sony wega lcd projection
the new lamp i put in was 92.00 dollars.....it wasnt cheap by any means.
@@josephgale5933 I fiqured, Thats because U didnt resest the lamp timer when you replaced the lamp four months ago. To have to go into the menu, settings, timers, then just reset the lamp replacement Icon. and the message will go away.
you know your right ....i stumbeld on that yesterday when i seen on the video on how to put the lamp in and at the end of the video it says to reset the lamp replacement which i did ....but thanks for the help just the same...i cleaned the fans too which u recommend in your video...thanks again ...
I have a Model Samsung DLP HL-5086WX and I cleaned my fans like you showed in the video . I have also put in several new bulds from different vendors. But when I turn the TV on, it usually shuts off after 10 minutes and the 3 blinking lights come on (red (Start/Stop) green (Timer) and green (Lamp). I thought I might need to reset the lamp timer or just turn it off , if possible, but my original Samsung remote is broken and I can not get to that option. Can the lamp timer be reset or turn off without using theb remote? Any additional thoughts on what to check?
Not sure, just order the Remote off of Ebay or Amazon. But that wouldn't shut the TV down though. Sounds like you may have another problem, like a colorwheel.
I just replaced the lamp on my DLP for the 4th time. It is easy. This time the picture was very dark. I noticed that the new bulb's filament is not centered in the bulb cavity (like the one's previously). Could this account for the dark picture?
What does it mean when your TV is on stand by
there's a way to know if your ballast is working.
Yeah, just check the lamp plug; pull the lamp out, and put your meter(positive lead) on one of the 2 pins on the plug. Just trick the Tv into coming on by in most cases just holding down the "Lamp Door Switch" & power TV up. FIRST Make sure that U connect the negative lead on your meter to chasis ground (something metal inside of the tv or a known ground point in tv) and not to the other plug, otherwise you will blow your meter up when the tv first comes on. U should get a voltage close to what the lamp is rated at. Usually 125v or more. If that doesnt work just go to the 2 pins on the Ballast where the lamp plug is connected and U CAN check them by putting both your meter leads directly on the 2 pins. Thanks, hope that helps.
I just did it, I have around 380 Vdc coming to the ballast board, but there is not voltage on the pin of the lamp, I think I trick the system because I can hear and see the fan working, but there's no voltage.
Hey I need help I have a vizo 37’ vo370m I need a new light bulb where to find
If my Mitsubishi 73” tv lamp blew in 1 day, should I replace the ballast? What else could it be?
Make sure that you clean all three fans, thats including that cylindrical intake fan behind the Lamp fan. You have to pull the entire light-engine out to get to it, I think. Its facing down towards the back. Also Make sure that U don't blow any dust into the upper part of the tv to prevent it from getting to the inner screen or onto mirror in the back.
@@bigdog8882 thanks! When I say blew, I mean loud pop, severely cracked bulb, burning smell. Ive replaced many of these bulbs over the years and never had one explode like that, thats why I was wondering if it could be something secondary like a ballast. It was violent.
@@paulharris8341 Could have had a bad lamp too. If cleaned fans, Look at the plug going from ballast to Lamp. Make sure thats not burned.
I have Samsung DLP TV HL-S5688W 56" and I think the lamp doesn't work so I want to know from where I can get a replacement lamp for exact model , I searched at Amazon and eBay but they don't have it
Just get the lamp part # and go to shopjimmy.com or Union Electronics ued.net
I have the same tv
Gotta clean the mirrors
I have a Mitsubishi wd-60738.... I keep getting 4 red blinks in for yellow BLINKS.... Can you help me... DESPERATE !
4 Red and 4 Yellow, huumm. Not sure bout that one. Make sure that the lamp door is screwed all the way in and is flush with the back cover. Otherwise that really sounds like something is disconnected inside the TV. If not your gonna have to Google it and see what U come up with.
@@bigdog8882 that's exactly what I've been doing googling. I even changed the lamp and vacuumed it out ! But thank you for your response 👍
Hey Big Dawg so I took out the color wheel on my Samsung DLP it is cracked up I will need a replacement can I buy just the wheel?
Used a small paint brush.
Yes I'm having trouble now with my big screen projector Mitsubishi 2013 I put a new lamp in it works great now sometimes a sound don't come on and I have to turn it off for a few minutes and then turn it back on sometimes the sound will come on sometimes it won't now I get sound picture and in 10 seconds probably 15 at the most it turns off automatically why is it doing that? What do I need to do to fix that problem
I have a Sony DLP tv and I put a new lamp in and now the tv is still diem it will play for about 4 minutes the cut off you can hear the fan come on and the green light will blink about 5 times then cut back on what is the problem
We're can I buy the bulb for that exact same thing he has?
Just Google the Model #'s Lamp. Try Ebay or ShopJimmy.com
How do i re program my mitsubitshi 2009 tv 60"?

Have you ever taken off the screen to clean the interior mirror? If not could someone help me with this problem?
Yeah just look for the screws at the bottom of the screen and also around the back of the screen (top back cover).
@@bigdog8882 thanks, I knew that but have you ever done this?
Lol "I also cleaned the remote"

Hey man I have that exact TV I've cleaned it and replaced the lamp 3 times I'm still not understanding why it stays on for about 30 seconds then it turns off
The last bulb I had lasted for almost a month it just stopped working for me today please I need your help
most have a timer delay on them. so when the tv is turned off, the fans stay running to cool off the lamp before completely shutting off
I have a mitsubishi wd-52531 tv. I have cleaned throughly several times and replaced the bulbs. The last time I did it the bulb blew in less than 1/2 hour? Any advice as to what to look for or repair?
Bad Ballast, or a bad bulb. When ordering a bulb get an Osram or Philips brand bulb.
I know you did this over a year ago, but I just saw your video and began removing the lamp engine and one of the plugs popped off the board on the lamp engine. This was the bottom plug that you pointed to and said you "forgot about that plug and had to sodder it back on"; you said that at 8:32 minutes into your video. My bottom plug popped off when i pulled the lamp engine out.
How do I get that plug reattached to the board on the lamp engine, like you did in your video at 8:32 minutes?
Thanks.
If U broke it then like I said "solder it back"
I just posted a comment regarding my sony wega t.v. it has vertical lines and a dull cloudy picture is that the lamp bulb also
No, not with the lines, thats something else, may have a bad light engine
Outstanding video sir, I just picked up this exact model. Going to refurbish it. You got a like and a new subscriber. 😎
I have a samsung hl-s4266w. I just took it apart and cleaned it. The bulb turns on for a few seconds and then it shuts itself off. The power button then reads "lamp" in green and "stand by/temp" in red. Does that indicate I need a new bulb? Or something else?
Most Likely U need a new Lamp. Especially if it was doing the same thing before U Cleaned it. Also make sure that the Lamp DOOR is all the way screwed in or shut.
bigdog8882 thank you. I appreciate the reply.
No Problem. Enjoy U'r Labor Day!
bigdog8882 u too!
I have a Sony wega 42 inch screen that the picture is dull and cloudy with vertical lines and very little colors can you tell me my problem
Oh and great video very informative
I have the same I got a new bulb for it put it in put everything back in it will come on for about 5-10 minutes then it will turn off and the lights will be flashing green on the light bulb on the friends lights at the bottom then it will have a whizzing sound after a couple minutes I can turn it back on and it won't come right back on what could that be
The reason DLP chips fail is because the factory puts the minimum amount of heat sink compound between the chip and the heat sink. There's about a dimes worth of heatsink compound and as old as the DLP televisions are the compound does dry up at a certain point, so anybody who hasn't serviced their TV and still has one of these would be doing themselves a favor if they, during cleaning, remove the heatsink and put on some fresh compound about a quarters worth.
Would I be able to use the same compound that I used for my ps4? Lol I had an issue with it turning off and took it apart. Dot had a thick layer of dust.. imagine the thickness of the lint from a drier screen lol.. put it back together and it wouldn’t start.. I panicked until I was told about the compound.. put some on and it works good as new
Nice video. I'm aware of the age of this video, but I'm going to ask a few questions anyway in hopes that you respond with some more helpful information. I own an HL-S5687W and have been looking for a video with some tear down instructions. This is the closest I've found so far. My issue is that I see dust/dirt on the picture on the edges of the screen. Is it possible for the interior of the screen to get dusty/dirty? If so, is it ok to clean it (tear down even more of the tv to gain access)? Or am I just seeing a very dirty mirror that needs some major cleaning? My set was mfd in Dec 06. I have only ever replaced bulbs in it (maybe 3 or 4 so far). It's never been serviced by anyone professional. It's never been cleaned inside. I think it's time I get in there and clean it really well. But I don't want to go through all interior cleaning only to still see dust on the inside of the screen. And I don't want to ruin my screen by trying to gain access to it, if it's not likely to need a cleaning on the inside of the screen. Thank you for your time and response.
thx.you are great
Thanks for Wachin Jerry. Stay safe out there.
Good video bro
I have a Mitsubishi 92" DLP 1080p 3D tv, model WD-92A12.
It has recently been starting to whistle, and the color will start flashing purple and green, before it shuts down.
Some days I can watch it for hours before this happens, and other days it will only stay on for a couple seconds.
The power light will flash once red, then 8 yellows.
I press the power button for 10 seconds to reset it, then the TV comes on, but only for about a minute before starting to whistle and the colors changing.
I'm not sure what it is, and I'm hoping you could enlighten me.
Sounds like you need a "Color Wheel"
bigdog8882 Yes sir, you were right. My only problem is finding one.
I can't find it anywhere.
Mitsubishi Parts won't sell one to me because I'm not a business.
I've tried Amazon, Ebay, etc.
Do you have any advice?
I'll Check for U
bigdog8882 Wow! Thank you so much.
Mitsubishi 92" DLP FLAT SCREEN television model WD-92A12
I don't know how this one looks because they don't show you a picture of the actual Color Wheel, but if you wanna take a chance, this should be the same CW that Your TV uses. Don't know if you posted the correct model #. It also says "No Returns". Here is the Link:

Hi big dog ,hey I was wondering if you do get a moment let me know on the pills,but please head of the table,and more lol
I changed out the lamp and now I’m just getting an orange blinking light. The tv never fully powers on
either lamp is not pushed in all the way or the Lamp Door is not screwed in all the way.
Thanks for the video, cheers
Hey big Dog great video it was really informative . But my question to you is should i not even bother buying the cheaper lamps or if i clean the fans and stuff its ok to buy them?
Don't go any cheeper than a Neolux (around $40-$50). Definately make sure U clean the fans though. Thanks for watching.
bigdog8882 ok right on thanks
where is a good place to buy good lamps?
have the exact same tv in the video
What did you break when you pulled out the lamp .
I have the same tv shown in the video. Mine blew a lamp and gave off a burning smell. I replaced the lamp and now it turns on for about 40 seconds and shuts back down flashing the 3 lights in the front. I tried replacing the lamp fan and the temperature sensor (the little circuit board that sits on top of the lamp housing). It still does the same thing. When it turns on, the lamp does light and I get a normal picture on the screen, but it shuts back down after 40 seconds. I thought it could be the ballast but I felt if it was that the lamp wouldn't come on at all. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Just make sure that the Lamp door is all the way screwed in, because it is switch activated. If not just jump the door switch. These are known for having bad door switches. But in most cases with this particular model and three flashing led's usually means a bad color wheel. Especially if you hear a squealing/rubbing sound right before it cuts off.
bigdog8882 The 3 lights on mine normally means that the bulb is bad or the sets overheating. I hope everyone is using latex gloves when handling the bulb, oil from your fingers and hands will fry the bulb.
reset button fixed my problem
I have a 75 inch DLP Sony TV, the picture is a little fuzzy, does that mean it needs a new lamp?
NO
@@bigdog8882 so y do you think it's fuzzy ?
I have a Mitsubishi 62531 should I remove the bulb and set aside prior to vacuuming and blowing all the dust out of it?
Yes, so you can get to the Fan for the Lamp.
@@bigdog8882 Thanks for the reply.
I WONDER IF I CAN FIND A LED PROJECTION BULB
cool vid i wanted to see back my TV but dude. dont ever SPIN those fans. you can blow your circuit boards when it creates energy. it turns into a generator when you spin it. bad habit to have. i know cause i have done it before.
I have the same exact tv. It goes on and off, I have changed the lamp with a genuine lamp, ;and I have taken apart the whole thing, an cleaned the fan, but it still goes off, and the three lights, and you can see a light shadow on the black screen as it goes off. This thing is driving me nuts, I don't think it is the color wheel, because the picture is great when it it on, and the board on the side, I guess that is the balast, that looked fine, nothing blown out. It sounds like there is a slight motor roaring, and than it shuts itself off. I think I have reset the lamp,since this set does not have instructions like the rest, and used the mute 182 power button. I wind up resetting the lamp, and then going for factory reset. It will shut itself off during this process. I give up!!! It am so frustrated with this TV. It does not pay to have it repaired, but the thing that kills me is the picture is so good when it works. Have any suggestions. I would really appreciate it.
Replaced the lamp, and the fan that was causing lamps to fail, now I get nothing but the flashing indicator. Guess I have to go back in...
great video n ur a cool dude man
Thanks, you too!
I have a Sony kf 50 we 610 My picture turns off and the green button stays on,20 seconds later the pictures. This continues to happen
i got a Mitsubishi-WD-82837 from a friend for 140 bucks and it seems verry low in picture so i think by seeing this its a bulb its an 82 inch dlp crystal clear but real dark . i hope its the bulb
yeah change the lamp, it'll make a huge difference. Order it from www.shopjimmy.com .
@@bigdog8882 thanks man yea never buy a cheap bulb i learned that it smelled like burning plastics .so i took the bulb from my 73 inch the fan in the back seems slow not like at max speed is that natural ? when i look in i cleaned all 3 fans the wheel fan the DLP fan and the one straight in the back there like new now but i was wondering do they just have low speed and adjust to load ? or is it cause if it was on high it would cool to fast and blow ?
I forgot to give you the model # HLT5075SX/XAA VERSION PD01
dont you have to replace the baluster after replacing the bulb
No
