DLP Projector Model HC3000 problem turning on (1 Viewer)

[Glenn H]

My HC3000 Mitsubishi Projector won't turn on until I hit the on button like 5-7 times and then it will finally turn on and stays on. Does anyone have any idea what may be the problem? I didn't know if I should buy a new bulb and see if that does anything or if it may be something else? I reset the lamp operation when I put the current bulb in. Thanks for any suggestions anyone might have in regards to this issue.
