Rear projection tv

Hi people I have an old Sony rear projection tv. Model number is LSD-50e2010. See what's happend is that the lamp blew so I've brought a new lamp replaced it as instructed but all I get now is a black screen and the sound. I was wondering if anybody had any ideas on what the problem is? How it can be fixed? Or is it dead? Please if you have any ideas just shar them I would be most grateful.

Maybe the problem wasnt the lamp in the first place?
Id bring it to a sony repair center and ask them whats wrong with it then take it back and try fix it myself depending on how much it was going to cost.
I wouldnt be able to throw any guesses at this even sorry.

The lamp had blown it was like a normal light bulb all smashed inside like.

Cant seem to find much around the web other than a ballst board or something which powers the lamp but it is a shot in the dark.
Try reseating the lamp again.

I doubt very much that its normal for a lamp in a rear projection to shatter when it expires.
I would bring it to a repair center before you electrocute yourself!

Thanks for the advise

if your in the uk do what i did when i used to have a rear projector, go to dixons or currys and get an extended warranty (i didnt buy mine from them i got it from toshiba) it cost me £25 for the warrenty and it was fixed the next day.

does that actually work? If that was the case wouldn't everyone exploit the system?

the pic quality is soooo poor on a rear projection tv would u recamend plasma or led /?????

It is always best to get an extended warranty on items when buying new.
Talking from experience.
