House of the Dead 4 DX - Monitor Broken...

[glstar]

Hi all....
My beloved hotd4 machine is broken.....
I don't know why but this monday i've come back from my holidays, and with my great surprise the machine tv doesn't turn up anymore....
This machine have an LG 52SZ8R dlp retro projector into....
All is working fine, but the tv simply won't turn on....
All i have is the power led to go orange and blink for approximatively 50 seconds and then turn red and stop blinking...
I don't know if something fail in the tv itself or if the lamp died....
I'm depressed......[:^(]

Please help me...

Yes.
The lindbergh is working perfectly fine on another monitor.
Same is for all the cabinet (sensors, lights etc...).
Only the monitor cannot power on....
I cannot understand if something happen into the power circuit, or if is the lamp the problem....
But what i really cannot understand is how this had happened....
I left the power cord detached from the cab for all my holidays....
So how this could be???

Yes....
But it's not clear if the power circuit has fail or if it's the lamp.....
And i cnanot understand how this could happened, since the cabinet have the power cord detached during my holidays.....

Did you unplug and plug the lamp, earlier i had a Sony KDL , and one time i deconnect  the lamp, clean her then connect her.... it worked 

Also if not working you must replace her

I tried to unplug the lamp, but i didn't clean it....
Maybe i should try this too.....
But do you think the lamp is the problem?
Because the led blinking is the power led, not the lamp led.....
But i also read that sometimes you can have bad indication by the lamp, so that it's broken even if you cannot see the lamp led up...

Maybe it's the contact between lamp/power.
The "error codes" in every machines is not 100% sure
I know about that, i install gaz/fuel boilers with régulations, and it's never the right error code/trouble

Try to clean the connectors of your lamp and TV with alcohol 
The machine maybe had smoke and dust

Good luck

I'll try some clean today....
The machine seems to be in good order with no dust or smoke, but lately here in Rome, the weather was very bad, so maybe some umidity comes into my place.....
I've to check...
In the meantime, thank you very much for all your hints...

Maybe it is not your issue, but there is a thing to know with HOD4DX cabs.
If the power cable (i mean the main power of the whole cab) has been unplugged for a while, you will need to manually push the button of the monitor to power on it.

I didn't know that....
Shame is not my problem since i do that too.....

Maybe i'll try with a new lamp....

Hi bro....
No, i cannot see any light on the lamp....
If you mean test into the cabinet, yes, but it's only visible if i connect the lindbergh on another monitor....
I was told that 99% is the lamp that needs to be replaced...
I hope...

good luck anyway for a very good game 

Thank you.
