Mitsi WD-62525 Amber-Red Dead

Hi.

 I have a Mitsubishi WD-62525 that I love.  I've had it forever, and have replaced the light once already.  About 2 months ago the amber LED came on.  I know from experience that when this happens, the bulb has approx 2000 hours left on it give or take.

 

A few weeks ago, I loaded up the TV into a Uhaul truck and moved to a new apartment 700 miles away.  The TV was working just before we loaded it up- albeit with an amber light.  Now it doesn't work.  

 

When you connect the power, you get the flashing green reset lights for a while, then all lights are off.  Then you click the power on the remote.  The fans come on and nothing happens for about 5 seconds.  Then the amber light comes on.  The amber light stays on steady with no other LEDs on or blinking for about 60 seconds.  Then the amber goes red and all the fans shut off.  There is never any picture or sound.

 

I purchased two new bulbs- one from a discounter and one from Mitsubishi, and neither did anything.  I tried holding the system reset down for 60 seconds and it still does the same.  I have a service guy coming in 2 days, but he charges $85 just to show up, and I want to have some knowledge about the problem so he can't screw me.

 

Thanks!

By the way, there is no

By the way, there is no flashing code, no messages, nothing. The only thing that happens when you click on the power button is fans, steady amber bulb light for 60 seconds, then fans go off and steady red light comes on.
