Lamp replacement Information
replacing the Lamp Unit
Your TV's source of light comes from a lamp – similar to lamps used in film or front projectors. Although this lamp is long-
lasting, it may need to be replaced eventually.
When to replace the lamp
You probably need a new lamp if there's no picture, but you still can hear the audio and the power light on the front of the
TV does the following: blinks 5 times, pauses, blinks 5 times again. If the TV doesn't turn on after 5 minutes and then the
light blinks steadily for one minute, the lamp may be dead. If you have any concerns, please contact us at 1-866-723-6486
or call an authorized servicer in your area.
Note: The same symptoms occur if the lamp unit isn't seated correctly or lamp access door is ajar. If you
have recently accessed the lamp, make sure the lamp access door is completely closed and the lamp unit is
seated correctly.
What to do
The lamp has been designed to make installation as easy as possible, but if you don't follow the directions, there is a risk of
injury.
•
You can easily replace the lamp yourself by following the instructions that come packed with the new lamp. If your TV
is still covered by the warranty, call 1-866-723-6486 to receive troubleshooting assistance and a lamp replacement.
•
If your TV's warranty has expired, call 1-800-338-0376 to purchase a lamp replacement. If you are not comfortable
replacing the lamp yourself, call 1-866-723-6486 and we will refer you to a service person who will replace the lamp for
you. There will be a service fee.
