UPDATE:
When I woke up this morning it started to work. Decided to turn it back off so I could reset the lamp timer and now it doesn't work again. It does exactly what I described at the start of the thread.
UPDATE 2:
After the TV turns off the bottom "Stand By/Temp" flashes.
Just bought new lamp. TV turns on then turns off.

make sure you have the back screwed in all the way.
the latch that makes sure the lamp cover is on might not be pushed in all the way.

It's possible that the TV is detecting that you have the "wrong" kind of lamp. Go to the service menu and see if the lamp manufacturer and wattage are right, if you can.
