    Do you get any lights on the set at all? Any indication of power? If you get lights, what color are they and do they blink? If they blink, how many times do they blink, or is there any kind of pattern to their blinking?

    When was the last time you replaced the lamp on the TV? Have you had any other service done to the TV? Have you tried unplugging the TV for a while then plugging it back in?

    No lights of any kind, was replacing lamp and now TV won't turn on. No other service done. Yes and unplug and replug into different outlets. Still nothing.

    After replacing the lamp, did you make sure to secure the lamp door on correctly? If so, check to make sure you didn't damage the killswitch or the part of the door that presses the killswitch.

    Was it working fine before replacing the lamp? If so, why did you replace the lamp? If it wasn't working fine before, what was wrong?

    There was no picture, but still have the green power light. Turn off the TV with the remote and looked at the lamp and saw that it was black on the end, so order a new lamp.

    Okay. What did you find upon inspection of the lamp door?

    Open and close just fine, did not notice anything. What should I be looking for?

    There's usually a switch somewhere just inside the door panel.

    This is the only thing I can think of that would be affected if all you did was change the lamp. If you took the back off completely, then it could be anything.

    Without taking a look at the TV it's difficult for me to say for certain what's going on though.
