Steps to Replace a Projector Lamp

1. Safety First

• Turn off the projector and unplug it from the power outlet.
• Allow the projector to cool down for at least 30 minutes if it was recently used.

2. Remove the Lamp Cover

• Locate the lamp access door, usually on the bottom or side of the projector.
• Use a screwdriver to remove any screws securing the cover.
• Carefully lift off the lamp cover.

3. Disconnect the Old Lamp

• Identify the lamp assembly. It is usually secured by screws or a latch.
• Remove the screws (if any) that hold the lamp in place.
• Carefully pull the lamp out of the projector. Be cautious, as the lamp may still be hot if recently used.

4. Install the New Lamp

• Take the new lamp out of its packaging, handling it by the edges. Avoid touching the glass portion with your fingers.
• Align the new lamp with the connectors in the projector and gently insert it into place.
• Secure the lamp with screws or latches as required.

5. Replace the Lamp Cover

• Put the lamp cover back on the projector and secure it with screws.

6. Reset the Lamp Timer (if necessary)

• Some projectors require a reset of the lamp timer after replacing the lamp. Refer to your projector’s manual for instructions on how to do this.

7. Test the Projector

• Plug in the projector and turn it on.
• Check that the image is clear and that the projector functions normally.
