September 10th, 2009Step-by-step Guide to Replacing a DLP TV lamp
When the images on your screen appear dim, distorted, or discolored, it is a sign that the DLP TV lamp in your TV is damaged and needs to be replaced. The process of TV lamp replacement is simple and can be done at home by following these simple steps.
• Switch off the TV and unplug the electric cord one and a half hour or two hours before you attempt to replace the DLP TV lamp. This will ensure that the lamp is completely cool when you remove it.
• Find the door with the bulb and remove the cross-headed screws.
• Once the panel comes loose and the case housing the rear projection TV lamp becomes visible, slide out the case.
• Remove the screws at the side of the case and ease off the old lamp.
• Insert the new projector lamp without touching the lens. It is a delicate job and needs to be done gently and not with force.
• Once you hear the click, you’ll know that the DLP TV lamp is firmly in place. Now replace the lamp housing unit and your job is done.
But before you set off on the task, buy the correct DLP replacement lamps. The TV replacement lamp you choose should be of the same type and have the same code as the lamp you’re replacing.
