___ The correct lamp replacement unit. To order the correct lamp, you’ll need to know
your TV’s model number, serial number, and lamp type. The TV’s model number is located
under the front panel piece towards the bottom left corner. Go to page 10 for information
on removing the front panel piece. The serial and lamp part numbers are listed on the
Service Model Number sticker. The sticker is located on the lamp handle (see the following
page for sticker location).
___ The box that the lamp replacement unit came in.
1.
Read the precautions listed above.
2.
Make sure your hands are dry and clean before you begin replacing the lamp.
3.
Unplug the TV’s power cord from the wall outlet (or power strip). Unplug the power
cord from the back of the TV.
4.
Put the power cord far away from the TV. Taking this precaution will ensure that no
one plugs in the TV if you walk away from it, or when you’re waiting for the lamp unit
to cool, or when you’re installing the new lamp.
5.
Wait 1 hour so the lamp can thoroughly cool. If you don’t wait at least 1 hour, you risk
getting injured!
6.
After 1 hour, go to the front of the TV set and remove the front panel
piece. Go to page 10 for instructions. Find the lamp-unit access door
(located in the lower right side of the TV). Read the precautions on the
door (you may need a flashlight).
Note:
Do not attempt to repair the lamp. Do not open the lamp
assembly unit — leave the lamp in its casing.
7.
Loosen the screw on the door (don’t remove the screw, just loosen it).
Note:
Don’t use a coin to loosen the screw because the coin could fall
into the TV.
