I know nothing about tvs, and don't know whether to throw it in the dumpster, or call a repair man. I have a Panasonic PT44LCX65.I bought it used for 1000$. (Probably paid too much.) It has worked fine until we turned it on last night, only to find just a blinking light turnung to a red blinking light, with a buzzing sound from the back that sounds like the filament in a light bulb. Can anyone help???
Sounds like your lamp has blown or is bad.
Thank you for your Quick response!!! Is that something I can replace??Or do I need a repair person??
Kay, where do I get one???
You can get a lamp from HERE. Good Luck and Happy New Year.
284.95...Yikes! Is that right??? And so I buy it from the site and I can put it in myself???
They are all about this cost. Yes you can do this yourself. It should explain in your owners manual how to do it. Good Luck
I havent been able to find the manual, and don't know if it was even given to me. I took all the screws off the back, and can't get the back off...Please advise..THX!!!
K, I just got the bottom back off, and do not see a lamp. Do I need to take the top part of the back off?? Ugh!!
NO!! You do not take off the back cover to replace the lamp on this model. Put everything back together and let's start over! It is done from the front acording to the TV set's owners manual. it is available HERE as a free download. Go to page 66 and read how to do this replacement. Good luck
K, hey!! Thanks SO much for the help. This site is the best. You really helped me sort out my problem. I bought the lamp, and put it in myself!! Wow, am I a big girl now. Thx again!!!!!!!!
