Lamp Replacement - Zenith DLP Model Z56DC1D

[tobi1958]

I purchased a new Lamp Model AS-LX50 from the LG/Zenith company. The number for the Lamp I received is 6912B22010A. MY PROBLEM IS: I cannot find the "How To Guide" for this model of Zenith TV/Lamp. I am at step 2 - and have removed the 2 screws (as indicated on other DLP "how to" guides). BUT there are differences: 1. The Housing/Assembly does not have a "wire" handle to pull the Housing out with? 2. Does the two black wires at the top of the Housing "unplug"? They are a little difficult to reach - but I assume they unplug. I would like step by step information regarding removal of the Housing and replacement of the Lamp as soon as someone can assist. I am a woman trying to accomplish this task, but I am fairly competent at such things if I have good instructions. Will appreciate your assistance as soon as possible.

Hello,
I think maybe the lamp you are trying to remove was forced in, I do not think you need to remove the plugs in order to remove the housing from the TV, do you have any images?
also I know the forum moderators post videos on youtube yet I could not find one with you model number, do you have any other lamp number??? you can run a search and a video is sure to pop up.

hopefully I can help you further =)

I have seen this before when even after manually resetting the time meter it keep prompting! what I did was unplug my tv overnight and next morning it was gone, I have no idea if it will work for you, if it does not, I have to assume your TV has a weak ballast and its better to replace it now that you have a new lamp ;)

I hope that did it, maybe it was referring to initialize the timer... I am not very familiar with Zenith / LG service menus... and the ballast is what powers up the lamp, its a small 3 by 6 inch board that plugs directly into the lamp , easy to instal ;) take a look, all plug and play
