TV Will Not Stay on Without Lamp Clear !!
Posted: Sat Dec 18, 2010 2:16 pm
I have a Samsung HLS7178 DLP set. The TV suddenly began to shut off after being on briefly. I had the 3 front lights blinking so after researching I assumed I had a lamp problem (the set is 4 years old). I purchased a new lamp on line and was able to install it easily.
I cleared the lamp in the factory settings as per other posts.
NOW....I still have a problem. Once I did the "lamp clear" in the factory service menu the TV stayed on and did not shut off by itself. If I shut the TV off and later tried to put it back on I get the same exact 3 blinking light problem and the TV shuts off. If I go into the factory service menu AGAIN and do the lamp clear, the TV will stay on indefinitely!
So two solutions: leave the TV on forever or go into the factory service mode every time I start the set. Two impractical solutions! So.........any ideas? Thanks in advance!!!
