I Have A Dlp Tv By Samsung That Just Shut Down On Me. After About 30 Se

I have a DLP tv by Samsung hls5686wx/xaa that just shut down on me. After about 30 seconds it turns off and 3 lights blink in the front. 2 green 1 red. I have googled this issue and after much research tried a few tricks. I always made sure to hold down the blue switch inside the maintenance panel when turning on the tv. I always put clips inside the white and blue wires and the plug that the wires went to located on the temp sensor above the light. The tv still turns off after 30 seconds. Picture and sound come in perfectly and no error msgs appear other than those 3 lights all blinking on and off at the same time. Any tips of troubleshooting the issue? Also the light comes on, tv comes on plays audio and video. After 30 seconds video goes black and audio still plays for 10 seconds until the the tv finishes shutting down and then turns on the lights. Lamp works, wheel spins fine, picture is fine, fan above the cpu/gpu runs fine. No major dust build up. Bypassing the temp sensor still brings up same symptoms.... HALP!

when the video goes black does the lamp turn off? This is what happens as the lamp is on the last legs.
