Hello everyone, i have had this TV for about 2 years and just replaced the lamp with a brand new one a month ago. i made sure its the correct lamp and it worked fine for a month.

Now every single time i boot the TV up it flashes error lights that the lamp is not positioned right, so i have to unscrew the lamp and put it back in and then it works fine. when i turn it off and next time i turn it on the same exact thing happens, it has to be taken out and screwed back in. this is driving me crazy, i have to do this daily...i make sure screw the screws down snug, but i've tried tighting them super tight, loose, super loose...its doesnt matter.

Anyone have problems like this before or maybe have a solution?? thanks!!!!

Bad, dirty or spread contacts. Either on the lamp housing and/or the socket on the TV. cleaning might help, but without knowing exactly what the contacts look like, I can't really point you to a solution as far as what to use or how to do it.

Anyone else? this is driving my crazy. Takes 10-20 minutes per day to just get my TV working.

Where did you get the lamp? I would try to get an exchange.
Failing that, a service call. It still sounds like contact issues somewhere. Could be other than the socket itself or as I stated in the PM the ballast.
