The Lamp Timer can be reset from the USER menu. Select Menu, Settings, Setup and select Lamp Replacement. You will be prompted to reset the timer.

The TV usually will blink a code to assist in the diagnosis. It could be one of the fans, the lamp door or lamp position interlock switches, a thermal fuse, etc.

you should count the blink code and ask this question again.
