NORMAL DISCLAIMER:
— Do NOT purchase generic brand lamps such as LTI, APO or third-party manufacturers such as OSRAM. These lamps were NOT engineered with and for your TV…only your Philips lamp has been engineered to work flawlessly and output the best possible color. Above that, it just doesn’t make sense to choose an aftermarket lamp for a $5-$10 difference (and in many cases they are more expensive!!). Be a smart consumer and do your research! Discount-Merchant.com promises to be the low price leader in all Projection TV Lamps they carry…if this is not true, let us know and we’ll fix it!

Necessities:

1. A Torx T9 screwdriver
2. A PHILIPS & Flathead screwdriver
3. A Pair of Pliers
4. A new Philips Lamp
5. 15 minutes of your time

IMPORTANT: The bulb should be handled with a clean cloth at all times to avoid any dirt or oil. Our hands are naturally oily…this is a no-no for these lamps. It doesn’t hurt to do a final wipe with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth before reinstalling your lamp…

Here is the RCA Lamp Enclosure, remember you can click on any image to enlarge!

Step 1: We start by unscrewing the connector wiring… First we remove the nut and then the screw (or vise versa)...

Now we need to remove the four T9 Torx screws holding down the lamp vent filters...

Now we pull the lamp out and reverse the steps to put the new lamp back in...

Here are some good photos of your old PHILIPS lamp and the new PHILIPS lamp that we will be replacing it with. Remember not to mix them up... Sometimes it is very hard to tell the difference between a bad lamp and a good lamp. If you get mixed up you will have to physically try both lamps in your TV.

***Technicians: Don't bother checking for CONTINUITY becuase ALL UHP LAMPS WILL FAIL CONTINUITY TESTS as the lamps have a "firing gap" in the filament (similar to a car's spark plug).

Now it’s re-assembly time! Let’s put in the new lamp and screw it into the enclosure!

Now let's connect the terminals back on to the lamp and close up the enclosure!

NOTE: Be careful when screwing-in the side connector on to your new lamp. It’s best to hand torque as this terminal is very sensitive and might break with a lot of torque.

Your all done…10-15 mins MAX!
