I purchased a factory replacement bulb and cage assembly and installed with no problems. After replacing the bulb/cage, now when turning on the tv, it makes a bubbling/strange sound just for a minute and then it goes away. Never made that sound before the new lamp cage was installed.

I replaced 2 already and never had the noise. I would send it back for a replacement, to be on the sure side!

It doesn't sound right - I would confirm the part number and then contact Mitsubishi for an exchange.

I purchased same unit. The blue light at bottom would come on when plugged in. I took it apart to clean filter and the clear washer didn't seat properly so I got water in glass and bulb blew out. I purchased 2 bulbs on Amazon for about $25. Put in new bulb and made sure no water could seep in tube and its been going strong for over 6 months.

this happened with mine too, i think it's ok. the lamp does get pretty hot, especially if you keep the tv on for a long time,and i think when the lamp is new, it hasn't been heated up that much. but the smell goes away after a few days.

So, mine has started doing the same thing. It has been months since I replaced mine and it is just now flickering. My guess is that the bulb is just cheaply made and not a true Factory bulb. For as cheap as the bulb was I wouldn't expect much over a year out of it but the flickering is pretty annoying. I don't know of a fix other than getting a new bulb.

Hi Chew, I haven't had mine in for too long, perhaps 8 months to a year, but it's still working. I suggest that when you do install a new lamp, you reduce the 'contrast' to save the lamp's life a bit.As for which one fits your TV, I don't know what model TV you have. You can find that info in the User's Manual. If you don't have a User's Manual, you can download one from the TV manufacturer's website.

Very strange. The same thing happened to me. You can get a replacement bulb pretty cheap at the big box stores. Was easy to replace. However be careful. When I first set it up, the bulbs got so hot that it burned a hole in the side of the box.

I have the same problem too. I just bought this LED 55 in for 2 months and it is making horrible buzzing sound. With the backlight setting to 10, the sound is very obvious, and it will get louder as I watch TV longer, like more than 1 hour.I bought service warranty with Frys, the technician came in and tried to replace the power supply because he thought it was the problem. Turn out the problem was not caused by the power supply but the TV itself he said.I just opened a ticket against Samsung, the Engineer will come over next week to take a look.

I have not had any issue with that. I would say if some of the cells are out then you need to replace the bulb. If you notice it is not doing as before take a break from use and then resume.

Be sure the lightbulb in the base is okay, and not loose. We had to leave our lamp on for a long time before the contents would flow. Also, contact the company as they were good about replacing the first lamp we received. We were told the lamps do not ship well in cold weather, but the second lamp has been fine.

My TV had the same problem. I decided it didn't probably matter and bought it. However, Amazon a actually sent me the wrong model of lamp, which didn't fit in the tv. I ended up taking the new lamp apart and putting the bulb itself in the old lamp. It was quite easy, just a few screws. Regardless, I still think the p does not matter, especially because many sites seem to use the two interchangeably. I'd say buy it.

Mine has lasted 2 years now. When you installed it you did not touch the lamp at all with your fingers and transfer anything to the lamp face? That maybe could create a hot spot and it burned out? Sometimes there is just a defect.When I first installed it I must have jarred the optical block so I had a rose tint across the top of the screen about 3 inches down. After a while you learn to ignore it, but I noticed recently that the line is gone. I moved the set a bit recently to get at a side connector and I am wondering whether that jarred something back in place. Now I won't move the set at all until the bulb dies again or something else goes south. Mine has lasted 2 years now.

Try resetting the "replaced lamp setting" on your tv again, maybe you dont actually need to replace the bulb. I would definitely get ahold of the manufacturer to make them aware of it, they might be open to replacing it so soon after the 90 day warranty.

Each supplier has there own policy for returns. Review the packing sheet enclosed with the bulb when shipped. Or call the supplier referring to your Amazon order for details. Remember most have a 30 to 90 day warranty on bulbs. Also try resetting the cage back in the tv. Make sure the tv cover is installed correctly so the safety engages correctly before sending a potentially a good bulb back.

Make sure you buy the Samsung brand and not one of the off-brands. Same thing happened to us, repeatedly. Local TV repairman hooked us up with the correct bulb. Bulb is much more expensive but at least you won't be replacing it again. Good Luck!

I haven't had any problem with such noises.I still feel it's a great product, even though I have problems keeping it attached to a base because of its weight, and my swinging it around to fit my needs. Perhaps you need a new bulb. I use the standard bulb mostly because it gives off heat and warms the area around it.

If your picture is dim then a new lamp should make it like new again. It is doubtful anything other than a degraded lamp would cause a dim picture. I wouldn't expect to get a refund if the lamp works. I bought one but really couldn't tell a difference. I don't know if the TV just didn't need a new lamp or that the off brand lamp isn't as bright as an OEM lamp. Personally, I'd stick with OEM Sony parts. They cost more though.

I'm not sure how long it should last but for me it only lasted for a week. While I was watching tv I heard a popping sound from the tv. The tv wasn't showing anything anymore. I opened the back and saw that the lamp bulb had popped/busted. I returned the item to get a full refund. I believe you have 30 days to return the item for a full refund. I'm just talking on my experience but the bulb may last longer on your tv it may depend if the bulb was clean or maybe what kind of tv you have. Hope this helps.
