Removing the Old Lamp Cartridge

to figure 1. Use a #2 (large) Phillips screwdriver to
remove the two screws securing the cover. Keep the

lamp and set the opened bag aside.
5. Gently grasp the handle of the lamp cartridge and pull
the old cartridge straight out. See figures 1 and 2.

small glass fragments may fall out.
6. Without tilting or putting down the lamp cartridge,
insert it into the opened bag. Close the bag while
being careful not to let any glass particles fall out.

tridge. Insert the new cartridge into the TV using the
