DLP televisions — either front or rear projection — can offer a stunning picture. However, these types of televisions require one extra maintenance step, which is incredibly important.
Learning how to replace the bulb in a DLP television is a must if you want to maintain that bright, clear picture. You will also want to price replacement bulbs out and factor that into the price of your television. You will eventually need to purchase a new bulb, and they are not always cheap.
When Do You Need To Change The Bulb?
When your projector’s picture noticeably loses its brightness and clarity, that is a good indicator that you need to change the bulb. If the bulb burns out all together, you will have no problem noticing.
Consult your TV’s manual to determine what type of bulb you need to replace it.
How To Replace The Bulb In A DLP Television
1. Remove the back of the television by unscrewing the screws that are holding it in place.
2. Once the inside of the television is exposed, locate the project box. This is generally located in the middle of the TV.
3. Also unscrew the screws holding the projector box closed so you can access its contents.
4. Inside, you will find a lamp box, located near the lens.
5. Disconnect any wires that are attached to the lamp box so you can free it.
6. Remove the lamp box from its location and change it out with your new lamp box. You will need to re-connect all the wires to the new lamp box.
