Lamp problem, TY-LA1000 for Panasonic PT-52LCX65

Please help! I have just been given a Panasonic PT-52LCX65-K. The previous owner told me that I would need to replace the lamp to get it working. They said that the replace lamp warning had appeared, but they did not replace the lamp... they just kept using it untill the lamp died. After reading the manual I plugged the TV in and watched the power light flash green for a while... Then the power light would flash red, and the red lamp indicator flashed once every five seconds. I purchased a new lamp (complete assembly) and installed it as per the instructions in the manual. I plugged it in, turned it on an after a few green flashes the lamp timer warning screen came up, and the the TV shut off. I tried to turn the TV back on to reset the timer as per the directions (hold minus volume key on TV while pressing the button on remote) but cannot get the TV to come back on. The power light flashes green 108 times It then begins to flash red, and the lamp button starts to flash once every five seconds... Is there anything else I can do to get this thing to work? I can feel the fan blowing air when I turn on the power. Is there any way to test the lamp itself? Does anyon have any insight? Please help, I am open to suggestions... I can't believe that the new lamp could fail after one ignition, so I am hoping that there is just some "Secret" proceedure that someone here may know... Thanks. Hobbynut
