Since I replaced the bulb, I no longer have HD. Why????

I must admit that seems really strange. Not having had the experience it's hard to comment on it realistically. I guess if it was me I would try reseating the bulb...My son did mine....try contacting the tv manufacturer..Mitsubishi...I use to have it...maybe from the web site. The engine generates the light, the bulb just reflects it on onto the mirror so you see it on the screen. Lightening got my engine, so after its replacement I basically have a new tv.

The bulb should have no effect on HD, but I'm not a technician. I have replaced five bulbs on my tv, no problems. This is normal. I will say the last bulb I got from a supplier that guaranteed a year for it and it has lasted more than a year, so I will use them again. Actually should go ahead and order another. Have you checked to see if your higher channel numbers are HD? My low numbers are analog, higher HD. Call your cable company.

The fact that you still have a picture means the bulb is working fine. You problem is probably just some settings that were inadvertently lost or changed. If I were you I would start by finding the answers to these two questions:1) Are all the inputs to the TV still assigned and functional? (Does the DVD player work; does the antenna or cable box work, etc.) This could indicate whether or not a reset occurred. If you find things named differently than before the bulb change then there are probably other settings that need to be changed to get your HD picture working.2) Was the image format inadvertently changed? There is a button on the remote that can do this and it could be the only issue.Hope that helps. The fact that you still have a picture means the bulb is working fine.

Correct. I swapped it in for the old HD using only the PATA cable, no power.

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.

Follow my instructions above. I gave you the url. Go there, find the samsung dlp link, then the bulb replacement link. Under that a few people have listed where they bought their bulbs.

I just had to replace the bulb yesterday! My cover pulled off very easily...just need to squeeze the cover a bit to one side and pop out the tab that holds it up there...I'd suggest trying a flat screwdriver if it isn't coming open, though be gentle with the screwdriver. Good luck.

COntact the store you purchased the bulbs through. THey should be able to replace them. If that doesn't work, contact Amazon to see what they recommend.

I removed the bulb and went to my local bi- mart and purchased a replacement looks a little different but works all the same

I have tried to replace the bulb myself and was unable to figure it out. I ended up purchasing a new one, I figured it was inexpensive enough and not worth the stress of finding a replacement bulb etc...

I haven't had to rplace the bulb, but, I will probably go to Amazon where they can get you almost anything!Good luck.

Check to see if the bulb housing is seated properly on the slot. You can also replace the bulb only with the original housing which is the best fit .

Mine worked fine. Maybe its the light bulb that needs to be replaced. I don't know how to do that. Return it if you can.

First of all don't forget to read you TV manual, it will explain on how to step by step. I had to go by the directions in the manual on how to remove the all one and another page to replace the old bulb with the new one. It took a little while to do. Good Luck!

I had the same issue (turn off after a few minutes). I called a Samsung tech rep and they told me to replace the bulb. I did that and had the same issue. I called Samsung again and they recommended I replaced the ballast, so I bought this and replaced it and still had the same issue. When I called Samsung again, they said I now have to take it to someone for service because the control board had to be replaced. I decided it wasn't worth any more money, so after over $100 in parts and a few hours of my time, my TV ended up in a recycling center. If you have a Samsung DLP, you can look through some online forums and see that this is a common problem with these units. I had the same issue (turn off after a few minutes).

I would be happy to help you.I personally bought this product,it came and I just took the old bulb and housing out and just put the new housing and bulb in.took about 10 minutes.and the plus is,you end up with an extra housing and you can just buy the bulb alone which is cheap and put it in the housing.then you would have an extra housing and bulb for backup.Hope that helped you and have a great day.

you can get one at home depot. Check the voltage and HD can provide you with the bulb. It will be a replacement which will work OK. Check the Battery before you purchase the bulb. the battery lasts two years .
