Marvin, Here are a few things to check, Make sure the cooling fans are running, also clear of dust on the intake of then and on the exhaust. Make sure that there not plugged into a cable box turning the set completely off before the bulb has time to cool down by the fan running after set is turned off. Also be aware of replacements Try to get it from a place that stocks OEM.
