i have a samsung 56" DLP 1080i that i bought in june.. i love the freaking thing. but now i think my lamp blew already.. it wont turn on and three lights are blinking on the bottom.. 1 red (stanby) 2 green(timer and LAMP)

this actually happened about a month ago and it fixed itself when i unplugged it from the wall for a minute or so... what do i do now.. call the warranty people who take 10 years or is there some sort of trick anyone knows.. thanks in advance.

do you have a warranty through the store you bought it from or just the manufacturer? call them up and see what they can do for you. otherwise your prolly lookin at like $250ish to replace it

look into something like this through ebay. find it online cheap as you can somewhere. buy it but still have the other one replaced. when you recieve the one from the warranty sell it on ebay so you can break even. that would be the quickest fix i could think of.

I've had good luck with DLP. The lamps are supposed to last awhile. You muct have just bought a lemon.

no im just one of those guys who leaves all the lights on, including the tv even if im not even watching it.. i even just leave the house with evrything on in many situations.. i sure learned my lesson..

BUT, thank god i have a epson dvd projector with rca and s video connections so i can still do all the fun stuff (just not hd BUt picture size is huge).. this is the lamp i was most worried about breaking *crosses fingers*
