See this video I have the exact same problem. I've replaced my bulb from DM within the last 3 months. I've cleaned the inside of my machine. I've checked that the gate is closed. I've reset my timer. I've walked through the full sequence described here: http://www.fixyourdlp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=19 only to fail at Ballast powering up the Bulb. I repeat the bulb does not power up. I have no strange noises coming from the color wheel, and I've inspected it and its fine. The ballast does attempt to fire and I see the small LED on the ballast flicker like in the video and then nothing.

Is this more of a capacitor blown on the power supply or on the ballast?

Seems like very few people are knowledgeable about the HL##A Series here... any responses would be great.

Bump... Surely someone know's what is going on or should I just say that DM gave me a faulty bulb?

On the off chance that it was the Ballast I purchased one... Wrong. Everything still goes in sequence till firing the lamp and the lamp will not fire. Is this a Lamp issue, I've inspected the lamp and it looks fine. It has probably got less than 500 hrs on it. What else could be the problem???

Is the lamp still covered under warranty? Maybe they can check it for you. If it's not the lamp it might something serious like the DMD board.
