Can I replace the lamp on a projection TV myself?

Replacing a TV Bulb

LCD rear-projection TVs are lit with a bulb. Replacing this bulb is one of the few projection TV repair projects that a reasonably handy owner can undertake.

When the screen gets dim, it's time for a new bulb. Unfortunately, these cost between $150 and $200.

Your TV repair manuals should contain instructions on how to replace the bulb, but most manufacturers have made this process fairly easy -- just a matter of turning a screwdriver, taking out the old lamp and setting the new one in place. The hardest part may be getting to the back of the TV to do it!
