The three lights (lamp/temp/timer) on the front of my Samsung DLP HLS4266W do not seem to be working. The lamp light used to stay on the whole time my TV was on, but now it's off. The TV will come on, but I've also discovered that I cannot use the remote to turn the TV on or off. I have to push the button. I could live with that, but I'm worried about the lamp lights not being on. And all I can find in the way of troubleshooting is when the lights blink. Mine don't. Any ideas?

Also another way to test the ballast or power supply of the lamp to test? I am thinking of checking the power source of the lamp socket whether it was the lamp supply ckt board or the lamp itself was bad. What would be the supply voltage from the ballast?. Could I measure a ac voltage comming from the socket pin of the lamp? To make sure which one is bad ? Thanks and hope to get some feedback. WF Torres. Dear Sir:

Lately when I try to turn it on I get the buzz indicating the lamp is trying to start up but doesn’t. It cycles this process a few times on its own before stopping and then going into a “Timer Lamp” (in green),and “Standby/Temp” ( in red), flashing on the center button. It’s done this in the past but evetually came on after I unplugged it and let it sit. Sometimes I have openend the lamp case and reset the lamp and it started working. Not this time. The lamp is fairly new so I am wondering if there is something else that I have over looked. I didn’t want to buy a new lamp if that is not the problem. Any suggestions? Thx G.

The original problem started with a "scrambled picture", being horizontal green/pink striping slanted diiagonally to the left. I was able to fix this with some setting changes on the STB (motorola Comcast box) but it then came back and seems unadjustable. Interestingly the PIP is clear! I have checked the service menu and the TV projects the color bar pattern perfectly. I've tried several input variations and am neat the conclusion that there is a video processor problem.
