hi to anyone able to help me, I have a samsung dlp sp46l3hx tv that just turns itself off after 15 secs then restarts and comes on for another 15 secs ad so on and so on..... I have had no warning of lamp faliure i.e. flashing lights on front of tv. dimmed poor picture ect....

has anyone had the same problem as tv also out of waranty {20 months old} how do I get this tv into service mode so that i can view the used/remaining lamp hours as I do not believe this is the problem.

thanks for your assistance.

Have you checked your cooling
Have you checked your cooling fan's? And duct work sound's like it overheating, then cool's down in that 15 sec, and it get's in a thermal loop type of thing going on. Hope it's not mounted on the seiling. I heard of a guy here that put a $6.000.00 job on he's seiling and it didn't last long. Heat couldn't dissipate , and killed it. But he had another one just like it in his living room.. So guess he still had TV.LOL..
I'd make sure this baby is breathing good..

Sounds like you've got a

Sounds like you've got a problem with the system board.  You'll need to have someone come out and fix that for you.  It's not a repair for a laymen.

sent tv to a local repair

sent tv to a local repair company who claim that the prolem is the lamp,
however they are saying that they are unable to obtain a lamp and therefore are unable to repair the tv for me, might have to do this one myself,
would it be worth buying a new lamp for £230 just to try, your thoughts please.

Thanks all those who can advise/help.
