Mitsubishi DLP rear projector problem.. Pleade someone help. Need a Tv repair man's advice?
Hi i have a dlp mitsubishi wd73727 73inch. When i bought it the bulb was visibly blown. it uses a 150 watt osram bulb. i tried ti plug in a 120 watt bulb from a 63 inch mitsubishi that wad similar and had the same connectors but doesn't fit in the lamp housing. tv powers up i hear all the fans and color wheel spinning and it clicks 3 or 4 times and then the lamp comes on for a second and shuts off. after that i get a solid red led light on the front and the error code is 34 ( lamp abnormalities ) do you think its just the bulb. do i need the correct bulb? I checked all the capasitors and the weren't swollen or busted and the fuses i found were ok. please help me

Many sets truly need the correct lamp to work. You are not using the correct lamp and the set is detecting that.. so yes, the color wheel will spin up, the lamp will cycle on, the wrong (or faulty... which is it assuming) lamp is detected and the set shuts down. So the set is doing it's job... it does a self test upon power up, and it's detecting a problem at the lamp.
You may be able to get away with an aftermarket lamp, but it needs to be the 150 watt rating of the original Osram lamp. The resistance of the filament is different.
BTW you can't visually tell when a capacitor is bad. Bulging caps are indeed bad, but most bad caps do not bulge.
