We replaced the bulb and fan and now the tv shut off and blinks red six times? What is wrong?

I replaced the entire lamp assembly not a fan. If the bulb is not seated correctly the TV will blink and shut off.

I had the same problem. It turns out there is a micro switch which tells the TV if the lamp housing is seated properly. Over time the micorswitch develops "slack" . Once you figure out where the micro switch is you can fix it by simply putting small peices of electrical tape on the lamp housing in the correct location. If you do a Google Search of the TV model and blinking 6 times; you'll find lots of articles to help you locate that switch. Apparently it's a common problem.

Check to see if the bulb housing is seated properly on the slot. You can also replace the bulb only with the original housing which is the best fit .

if you can see the picture, that means, the lens is working, the tv. won't tell you is on.....If you see the picture then go to menu, and reset the date when it was replaced, The fan I think is for cooling, but Iam not positive......

Mine goes completely off. I can't imagine it is the bulb causing power to stay on, something else must be in play.

Amazon actually sells a bulb kit online, just enter model number and " replacement repair bulb kit" cost is cheap for it, your only problem is finding someone to actually replace it, I had a friend Fix mine as a favor, good luck, searchYouTube on exactly what tv is doing might helpGood luck

It actually sounds like one of your cooling fans went out. Which would explain it turning off because of risk of overheating. With that being said you should probably replace both fans and the color wheel. They all run on bearings and if one failed then the rest WILL follow. The fans are pretty simple to replace and are priced at about $5 each. Plus why take the TV apart twice or three times!

Did you go into your TV menu and reset the Lamp/ You have to let the TV know that you installed a new lamp. That should fix the problem as the TV should have a "time" when the lamp should be replaced and I don't think they are very accurate.

it should just sort of clicked in. I had to adjust it a couple of times because even after I thought that it had seated properly the bulb would turn off while watching television causing me to worry that the bulb was bad. I also checked the wiring and pushed from the back of the housing toward its front which makes me believe that the wiring would not make proper contact to the male end that's built into the television. Hope this makes sense.

Might be the bulb. Had alotta trouble with that t.v. big waste very expensive to fix and maintain. Pisses me off that they get away selling such sub par stuff at premium rates. Hope its just the bulb good luck

I would plug the old one back in and try that. It will blink fast with the led but if its getting power then you know that you have a bad unit.

Mine is a larger tv but had the same problem. While replacing the bulb, I noticed that the color wheel was in pieces. I replaced both & the picture is ok now. There are plenty of instructions on the net. Tip: wear gloves. I got a bad cut from sharp metal. Good luck.

Mine was turning off and then automatically turns on in few mins. Most of these problems in Samsung TVs are due to its capacitors in the power board. I dont know if your TVs issue is the same but looks like due to capacitors. I would just try this kit and it is not that hard to replace them. The kit generally has more that what is required. I just replaced all in my mother board that matched what is in the kit and it worked for me.

I had a bad one once and amazon let me return it right away... something you should know, I am an audio / video tech. and I know a little about handling the bulb... never touch the glass or bulb with your fingers, the oil from your hand will cause a burn out or shorten the life of the bulb... use a glove or a towel while handling. and if you have the original bulb that came with the TV, use the old housing with the new bulb and you will have better results... good luck and I still have my tv and works fine... its a great model.

It sounds like the picture lamp has gone bad. This happens with this type of TV after many many hours of use. The lamp is easily accessed on the bottom center in back of the TV. Search "mitsubishi wd-65638 tv replacement lamp with housing" on Amazon and you'll find the replacement lamp. Hope that helps.

If you have the TV connected to a cable box( I have Comcast) you may be having a problem that has happened to me on occasion. Try selecting a different channel and the picture may come back. If the red light in the lower right corner does not blink when you turn the TV on then you might have a power issue. Beyond those simple steps I don't know what else you can do. Find your owners manual and see if there is a troubleshooting guide.

I went thru the same ordeal. Finally I got rid of the fan/light. I spent a week and many dollars trying to get my lights to work. Bulbs, ballasts took it all apart and nothing. Wish I had the answer.
