RCA Scenium DLP-50 Can't Post

Howdy all.
I bought the RCA DLP-50 Scenium, about 2 years ago, and 3 months ago I replaced the bulb on the unit for the first time. Two weeks after I replaced the bulb I started to notice that the bulb would not always ignite on the first "ignition". At times it could take 4 or 5 times before the bulb would fired up. I could hear the TV trying to ignite the bulb, but it would just flash the LED's 5 time and just start the sequence again (typical of a bad bulb). So, since I have a 4 year entended warranty, I called Best Buy and got a replacement bulb, to replace the recently installed bulb which was in my TV. I put the new lamp in and the problem went away. Now, three weeks later, I notice the same problem coming back again. This time its not as severe, but the lamp does not always iginite on the first attempt. Sometimes it may take 3 or 4 trys before the TV to fire this bulb up.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

RCA's had a issue with their blub's not matching up with the ballast board, have and tech check this for you. you may need to replace the ballast to match up with the new blub.

The problem has pretty much gone away, so I never called RCA. Its almost like the ballast and the bulb are in sync now. I'll keep you all posted if the issue returns.

Thanks!
