I have an AKAI DLP model PT50dl24 that is about 3 years old. Recently after being on for several hours it will shut off and the lamp and standby lights flash for about 1-2 minutes, I can start the TV again and it will work for several more hours and do the same thing.

The flashing lights indicate (according to the manual) the lamp door is open but no one has ever worked on the TV and the back is still factory sealed. Any idea what is going on? Thanks

have you ever clean your tv?

The best way (in my own experience) is to have the following tools.
1.- a can of compressed air.
2.- a small vacuum cleaner (preferably a hand held).
3.- a mouth cover.
4.- a pair of latex gloves.
5.- a Philips (cross tip) screw driver.

Instructions.

-Put mouth cover and gloves on.
- remove the entire back of the TV.
- on one hand have the compressed air can and in the other the vacuum.
-start spraying the compressed air from a 6 inch distance and at the same time vacuum al the dust that starts flying around from the same distance.

Hope this helps and if it doesn't then we need to change your TV lamp.


have you ever changed your lamp?

let me know!

Thanks, i will do a clean. Has not done it in several weeks, but I like your suggestion.

i have an akain pt46dl 10 i just bought a new lamp for i already test my tv with a smaller lamp from a sony tv a it works fine with it and with the new lamp it turns on for a few seconds and then the image its gone the sound stills there but no image have any ideas?

AkaiDLP,
I suggest buying a new lamp for your TV set to start off the diagnosis. After 3 Years, the lamp is due for replacement anyway. You will not be able to diagnose properly with a 3-year-old lamp!

Your replacement lamp can be found here:

If you experience the same problems after purchasing a new lamp, post here and we will help.

Good Luck!

Thanks, will do,,

I would say its the dmd board. I can't find the board by itself but i did fund the light engine on ebay for 99 dollars and it has the dmd board.

I was looking and it doesn't look like these have the ballast. you may want to check to make sure your lamp is still on from the back of the tv. if it's off then it could be the color wheel or the ballast. this part comes with the color wheel but not the ballast.

I have a Akai pt5024x this is a weird issue i was thinking lamp but now i dont know When i turn it on it will stay on for about 2 min then the screen will go off followed by the sound a few sec later so i opened it to clean all the dust out and laid it on its face on the floor to do this While it was laing on it face iturned it on to observe the fan well the tv stayed on just fine didnt shut off it was on like 20 min but as soon as i stood it up i shut off again so i laid it down to try it again and it stayed on for a hour with it laing on its face then as soon as i stood it up it shut down again im confusedi have searched for lose wireing.

I have an RCA DLP TV model # M50WH74S. I need a DMD board and a color wheel. If anyone knows where I can get these please HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank - You

Hello taker, can you describe the sound? is it like a buzzing sound? if so you might have a ballast issue...

Hello AYDENGURL, I find most parts of that nature at www.discount-merchant.com just make sure you take the part out and order with the part number not just your TV model since parts like that may vary...!

hope this helps!
