Do you hear any strange sounds? The noises coming from the TV are really important. Maybe it’s a color wheel. Do you hear any strange sounds? The noises coming from the TV are really important.

I would pull it out to confirm it's imploded. If the lamp is obviously damaged, then you know your problem. If the lamp looks good, I would still say you've got a 90% it’s the lamp unless you hear any weird noises, like a humming or a buzzing sound. I would also look at the troubleshooting tutorial available here: http://www.fixyourdlp.com/wizard/launch-window.html Let us know if you have any more information, otherwise, I would anticipate you purchase a lamp :) Shawn,

Anyone have a reliable source for a ballast?

If you have the cover off, the tv will power up and work just fine, but only for a minute and then it will shut itself off. Try removing the cover and replacing it, or just hold the switch and turn it on. Could be a bad switch. There is a switch for the lamp cover.
