___ 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—this information is listed on the
Service Model Number sticker (example of the sticker is shown at right). The sticker is
located on the right side of the TV (see picture below 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.
6.
After 30 minutes, go to the back of the TV set and 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.
8.
Press the catch tabs near the screw you just loosened (one tab is above
the screw and one is below), and remove the entire lamp access door.
Place the door to the side (don’t put it on the floor or anywhere
someone might step on it or accidentally break the tabs).

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 30 minutes so the lamp can thoroughly cool. If you don’t wait at least 30 minutes, you risk getting injured!
