How to Know If a Projection Lamp on RCA Scenium Is Bad

You can replace the lamp on your RCA Scenium television, but first you need to know if the lamp is the problem. Rear projection lamps are expensive, and most stores that sell them don't accept returns out of the worry that someone will try to send back his old lamp for a refund. You can tell whether the lamp has gone bad by counting the pattern of "Power" light blinks.

Instructions

    • 1

      Turn on the Scenium television.

    • 2

      Watch the "Power" LED and count the blinks. If the light blinks five times and pauses, then repeats, the TV is trying to turn the lamp on. The process will continue for five minutes, and then the light will blink steadily for one minute.

      Check the lamp door on the back panel of the television. It's located near the bottom of the panel. Close the door if it's open. Then turn off the TV, unplug it for about 30 seconds and plug it back in and turn it on. If it still blinks five times repeatedly, the lamp is bad.
