I recently replaced the lamp in my Panasonic PT-61LCX65 61 in. After the lamp was installed the picture quality was fine. I assumed that the lamp was installed correctly because it seemed as though it only went in one way. After a few days, though, it started cutting off after 5-15 minutes. If I restart it, it comes on again for the same amoun t of time before it shuts off again. When I say "shuts off", I mean that it goes off as though someone hit the power button - the TV goes off but the satellite hookup remains on. Any suggestions or ideas on what it may be?
