Need information to replace the ballast

Hi, I am new to the forum. I have a Samsung HLN 507wx/xxa given to me by my son-in-law after he replaced the lamp and it did not fix the problem; no display after 30 seconds, blinking light on LED at bottom/center of the display. Blinks: green, green, red indicating a bad lamp. balast, ....

I am looking for a source of instructions/information to remove the ballast. The original lamp is a BP96-00224A Toshiba.
Have the guide for DLP Lamp BP47-00033A, but my TV is different and it does not help.

Any information will be appreciated. Thanks

well... If you have no picture, there are other components besides the lamp that could be affecting the image. if you hear a clicking, or a noise like an electrical buzzing. It can be your ballast.
there a website. discount-merchant.com, those guys have free trouble shooting and they have tv part available for pretty decent prices.

Have read various threads on this topic and am aware of DM -- the sponsor's of this website. Have been able to get the ballast out on my own, know the part to order (DM does not have it in stock) so we can close this thread.

Thanks for the reply.
