changing a lamp: How do you change the lamp on this television?

Not hard to do. If you order a new lamp, it will come with instructions. Basically, it involves removing the bottom front panel (snapped on - I forget if there are screws at this point as well) and then unscrewing the lamp from it's mount. Swap the new lamp out (more involved if you bought a bulb-only replacement) and screw it back in. If you're even a little handy, you won't have any problems.

If you can't find one at home Depot, any theatrical supply house will have MR 16 lamps. Handle the lamp with a clean cloth. If the shop isn't busy, they might show/help you change it.

I have a Panasonic TV and I purchased the lamp. It works and it VERY easy to install. You just need a screwdriver and thats it. Im not sure what model number you are referring to.

The one I received and installed was exactly like the one I removed. It was exactly the same size and shape and was simple to install. I think you must have the wrong lamp for your TV. I'm sure you probably double checked this but there must be a mistake somewhere. Feel free to ask me more questions.

I installed mine, cleaned dust out of compartment and repluged tv and worked perfect. I would unplug tv and remove light housing and reinstall I believe thats what I did, now that I think about it. Remember keep lamp clean. Good luck, I still have set works fine.

if your manual for your television says to use a sony xL-2400 replacement lamp then this one will work

Yes. We basically removed the old lamp and inserted the new one. It was just as easy as changing a lightbulb in a lamp....and MUCH chaeper than going through a Big Box store!

Not sure... You'd have to ask the seller. I do have a JVC television. When I replaced it, the new lamp looked identical to the old one. Hope that helps!

Yes this one you just slide into the chambers on the right side of the TV and once it is securely in on your remote press the lamp reset button Beverley

It was very easy on my TV. Open front panel and use a Phillips screwdriver to remove one screw. Pull bulb out and replace.

From what we remember, since we got rid of the tv, you open the bottom panel in the front of the tv. You have to pull on both ends to get it off. Once off, there is a square door you open to gain access to the bulb. Do not touch the new bulb with bare hands, use a paper towel or something. Once the old bulb is out you can put the new bulb in. We had problems not buying a bulb from Sony..the plastic cover does not come with generic bulbs. Ours got hot and melted the outer cover that the bulb fits in. I figured we could save money by buying generic but they don't last. We were afraid of fire when we could smell plastic being hot and just got rid of the TV and bought a flat screen TV.

I only know about my Sony television. I installed my new lamp and went to the menu and chose 'New Lamp Replacement" and It installed itself ...that is all Bev

Simply pull the cover off (its just held on by snaps) /using the provided screwdriver that is supplied with the new lamp, unscrew the old lamp. Pull it out, slide the new one in. That's it.

I am not sure about that if you look at the TV in the rear it will have a sticker that indicates what lamp is to be used

My lamp is older, and I had to screw it in. It looks great. Here's a pic: http://i.imgur.com/Ia5wmYX.jpg

The important thing is that you unplug the TV power plug from the wall first. Next , pop off the silver speaker grill by prying it off with your finger tips around the outside of the grill. Remove light assembly by unscrewing the two screws that hold the light in place. Slide the old light assembly towards you and push new light in. Tighten screws in new bulb, and replace grill. Plug the power cord into your wall outlet Push the power button on your TV and the lamp should power up. Follow the instructions for resetting the timer to "0" , but be sure and push down the two buttons they talk about on the TV, not on the remote. Have fun!

Yes, I am pretty sure that is the same TV I had (my daughter moved and took it with her). It was SUPER easy to change. I found a step by step video on u-tubeHope this helps!
