No, there is nothing wrong. The power indicator is blinking green for one of the following reasons:

The main difference is the connection terminals: LB425 Series has one HDMI IN terminal, while LB426 Series (excluding PT-LB306) has two. In addition, while LB425 Series has a MONITOR OUT terminal for computer input, LB426 Series (excluding PT-LB306) replaces it with a COMPUTER 2 IN terminal shared with COMPUTER 1 OUT.

This may be due to one of the following reasons:

(1) If [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [ECO MANAGEMENT] -> [STANDBY MODE] is set to [NORMAL] and [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [AUDIO SETTING] -> [IN STANDBY MODE] is set to [ON] in the main menu, the <ON (G) / STANDBY (R)> power indicator will blink red in a 2.75 to 0.25-second on/off cycle.

(2) If [PROJECTOR SETUP] -> [ECO MANAGEMENT] -> [POWER MANAGEMENT] is set to [READY], power management will activate if no input signal is detected for a certain period. In this case, the <ON (G) / STANDBY (R)> power indicator will blink green in a 2.0 to 2.0-second on/off cycle.

For details, please see Operation Manual: Chapter 3 – Basic Operations – Powering on/off – Power indicator here.

The main differences are the resolution of the LCD panel and the light output. PT-LB426 has 1024 x 768-dot (XGA) resolution and light output of 4,100 lm, while PT-LW376 has 1280 x 800-dot (WXGA) resolution and light output of 3,600 lm.

You should replace the lamp unit at 10,000 hours if the projector’s [LAMP POWER] is set to [NORMAL] or [QUIET] in the main menu, and at 20,000 hours if [LAMP POWER] is set to [ECO]. However, due to the characteristics of each lamp light source and individual usage conditions, the lamp may reach end of life before the times specified above. We recommend you keep a replacement lamp on hand to minimize unexpected downtime should the lamp reach end of life before the above times.

Please follow the steps below when replacing the lamp light source of your projector:
(1) Switch off the projector and unplug the power cord from the outlet. Wait at least one hour to ensure the lamp unit and surrounds have cooled down.
(2) Remove the lamp cover by loosening the lamp cover fixing screw with a Phillips screwdriver until it turns freely.
(3) Loosen the lamp unit fixing screws (x3) with a Phillips screwdriver until they turn freely.
(4) Hold the lamp unit by its handles and pull it gently from the projector unit.
(5) Insert the replacement lamp unit in the correct direction. Tighten the lamp unit fixing screws (x3) securely.
(6) Attach the lamp cover and tighten the lamp cover fixing screw securely.
After replacing the lamp unit, be sure to reset the lamp usage time. For details, please see Operation Manual: Chapter 6 – Maintenance – Maintenance/replacement – Replacing the unit here.
