Television Lamp Replacement? Is it difficult to replace the lamp, on my
Is it difficult to replace the lamp, on my 46" Toshiba HD DLP Projection TV? It looks effortless, but is it really? I know that this bu;b is NOT cheap!
Answers:
normally, a couple a screw and the assembly slides right out the front... had to do it for my Sony ... $150 ;( Does the Toshiba stand BLOCK the Lamp door on the left side of the TV set?
It's not rugged....but it's a PAIN to install a new oil lamp....not like other TVs that don't block the door....
All you do is SHIFT the TV forward to receive to the Knob on the door....remove the door.
Then you get a Philips screwdriver (10 inch is better than a 6 inch !)
Then next to the NEW lamp unboxed and geared up for insertion, you unscrew the 2 philips head screw out of the old hurricane lantern and pull it out, after LIFT the TV up to get the infirm lamp out....
Set it down, attain the NEW lamp contained by your hand, and pull it again and pop the new one contained by....set it down.
Then SLIDE the lamp into it's slots and the oil lamp should FULLY seat so you can tighten the philips chief screws.
Then a short time ago put the Door back on by shifting the TV forward plenty to access the Door knob again....
Then slide it back surrounded by place....
Most others have unproblematic access compared to Toshiba....
