Change The Bulb In An Lcd Projector

Changing the bulb in your LCD projector can save you the cost of professional installation. The key is to install the bulb with a gentle touch to avoid breakage or damaging the connections.


Instructions


1. Remove the access panel located at the back of your projector. It is probably located on the bottom left of your LCD projector. Remove the single screw that holds it in place.


2. Loosen the brass screws on either side of the lamp's base. Don't worry if the screws don't come out completely. Gently tug on the handle attached to the base of the bulb on your LCD projector. If the bulb doesn't come out easily, loosen the screws a little more.


3. Pull out the bulb without touching it. The bulb from the LCD projector may be hot. Set it aside. You can use it as a spare.


4. Slide the new bulb into the space where the old bulb had been, reversing the process of taking the old bulb out. Make sure the plug is securely in place. Carefully screw back in the screws on either side of the bulb's base.


5. Wiggle the bulb gently as you're trying to get it in place. Never force it, for that could damage the connections and the bulb itself.


6. Close the access panel and replace the screw. Without the access panel, the LCD projector will not work.


7. Turn on the LCD projector. If the projector works, you have replaced the old bulb properly. If not, redo Steps 4 through 6.
