After installing this new lamp, our picture has a flicker. We took it out and reinstalled several times to make sure it was installed correctly. Don't know if there is a problem with the lamp? Anyone have this problem?

Don't buy that cause its cheap get the Sony little more money but better than the knock off brand. Mine only lasted 8 months we bought the Sony much better picture

Dave, ours did the same thing. We figured it was the lamp going out so we purchased a new one and our problems were solved, its such and easy and inexpensive fix to just buy a new lamp. Hope this helps.

We had the same issue after we installed the TV in 2 months ago. The brightness of the TV cycles through the lamp opposite from the TV - if we turn the lamp on, the screen gets bright within 3-4 seconds, and if the lamp is off, the screen is back to darker and dimmer image within 3 seconds. We have tried other lamps to see if interferences the TV responds to, but this is the only lamp that works that magic. the two devices dont share the same electric source either.

Very similar issue: flickering problem on this 55 inch. This all began about 24 months after purchase. Does anyone have a solution other than calling a service technician and paying for the repair yourself?

I installed mine, cleaned dust out of compartment and repluged tv and worked perfect. I would unplug tv and remove light housing and reinstall I believe thats what I did, now that I think about it. Remember keep lamp clean. Good luck, I still have set works fine.

I don't have any issues with the lamp (so far) I love it. Maybe you can return and get another one, well worth it.

It must be defective. Usually when lights flicker there's a loose wire involved. I would return it. Hope this helps.

Lamp failed to fire. Lamp not seated completly (no connection) or bad lamp. It is possible to get a bad lamp. This is assuming your typical lamp failure was the cause for replacement (picture getting dimmer and dimmer till eventually failure) if your power supply or ballast is damaged buy a new TV unless you are comfortable soldering on circuit boards. Good luck.

When our lamp went, nothing worked (no picture,no sound) and a little green indicator light for "lamp" was on. I bought this lamp and it worked for a brief time but it then the same thing happened. It was within the 30 days so I was able to return it to Amazon. Then I went to Mitsubishi site and bought one of theirs and it works great now, (so far, but it hasn't been that long). It cost $280 (with shipping).

I don't have this problem, but it sounds like you have an electrical short in the lamp. I would return it. Good luck.

I have the flicker with mine with YouTube and other video sources as well. Not sure what the problem is yet but I'm looking into it.

I had mine up for about a month before it started to flicker and dim. I put up with it working sometimes and finally went to lowes and bought one that works all the time.

No flickering problem here. Is it on a dimmer? If so, check the type. An older dimmer might mess with your leds.

May ask for a refund due to that it was only a month ago. When I replace our TV Lamp we got a good lamp for the TV and still working today. I think they may have send a bad lamp they should send you a lamp for free and give your money back due to information you give me for good customer service. Sorry to hear that. Here is a customer number for amazon live person to talk to U.S. and Canada: 1-866-216-1072Spanish Support: 866-749-7538

I had the same issue with the lamp. I tried 3 different ones including the one Sony sells. All were bad. Had to change the TV.
