Can't reset Panasonic lamp hourmeter
I have a Panasonic PT-45LC12 LCD rear projector TV. I just replaced the
bulb and tried to follow the instructions to reset the lamp hour meter; i.e., hold down the TV's Volume-- button while pressing the remote's PIP/Play button. It didn't work...even after several attempts, and after unplugging the TV from the wall socket and reconnecting. Any suggestions would be appreciated for solving the problem, or am I just stuck with a TV that doesn't obey commands anymore? |

Can't reset Panasonic lamp hourmeter
Diligence, even the professional technicians have occasional difficulty
pursuing this specific function on the Panasonic sets. Try again, advance the volume to about 1/3 the way then attempt he procedure again. Eventually it will work unless the EPROM data is contaminated, which is highly doubtful. wrote in message ups.com... I have a Panasonic PT-45LC12 LCD rear projector TV.

Can't reset Panasonic lamp hourmeter
Thanks, Art, for the tip...but I guess it takes a better man than I to
make that process work. Tried it for 20 minutes last night, with every conceivable volume setting, and still no results. Guess the EPROM is bad.

Can't reset Panasonic lamp hourmeter
This works. Here is what I did.
How To Reset Panasonic LCD Lamp Timer: Step 1: I turned the volume all the way up. Step 2: Hold the Volume - button on the TV (Not the remote) until it was at 0. Keep holding the Volume - button down. Step 3: Press and hold the PIP/Play button on the remote until the message shows the timer has been reset to 0. Hole that helps. wrote: I have a Panasonic PT-45LC12 LCD rear projector TV.

Can't reset Panasonic lamp hourmeter
Thanks to everyone who took the time to send me a suggestion. I finally
got the hour meter reset--and the key was so simple I'm still shaking my head. I'd been trying to reset the meter while the "Reset lamp timer" message box was showing on TV startup. Based on the information I've received on this forum, I figured it was worth a try to reset the meter AFTER canceling out the message box. Sure enough, worked like a charm.
