Tv Won't Turn On.

Replaced bulb 6 weeks ago.  Everything was working great for a few weeks and then oneday the tv would not turn on.  Took lamp out and put it back in and it worked.  Now everytime we put the tv on we have to take the lamp out and put it back in (sometimes 4 or 5 times) to get the tv to come on.  Is it the lamp or something else?
