That is a strange one. I would first try removing the lamp and making sure the contacts to it and the ballast are nice and clean. If that does not solve it, sure sounds like the next logical step to do would be to replace the lamp. The XBR800 series did NOT have all the common lamp issues the WE610 and XBR950 series had.
