Cannot remove lamp assembly from Sharp XR-10X projector

I have a sharp xr-10x projector where the bulb recently stopped working. I purchased a new lamp assembly, but when I go to remove the existing lamp assembly, it seems to be "stuck" in place.  I removed the lamp cover, and then the two screws that hold the lamp assembly in place - but no matter how much I (or anyone else) pulls, the lamp doesn't budge.  Sharp suggests I send the projector back in, but I'd really love to avoid that.  Any ideas?

Carefully try using a flat head screw driver on the middle plastic piece. make sure it is off...

Or try coming at it from the other side after taking the top of the machine off you can unscrew 3 screws and loosen whatever might be blocking it

Flathead screwdriver under the lamp handle from the front and a sharp push down on the screwdriver handle (but don't break it) will dislodge it. it wedges in there pretty good.

Thank you everyone for your help! Was able to get the lid off, hit the reset (thanks to your posts) and it is working again! This saved me a bundle ... we were getting quotes of $150 just to look at it.

Sharp XR-10X projector. Makes a loud whirring noise when trying to turn on. Bulb starts to turn on then doesn't. It's not the fans because I opened up the projector, disconnected the fans and it still...

the colorwheel motor bearings are starting to go. you'll need to replace the colorwheel. you can get the part from a sharp service center and do it yourself or send it to one for repair. either way, try av solutions in ny. they're really good. www.avsolutionsny.com

New bulb in now wont work - no power - wont turn on to reset lamp

first, make sure you have the correct lamp. the lamp for the xr-10x-l looks like the xr-10x, but the plugs are different (common mistake). make sure you have the AN-XR10L2/1, not the AN-XR10LP/1. to reset the lamp timer (with the projector plugged in but off), hold down the enter, down arrow, and menu buttons and press the power.

Sharp XR-10X projector, but missing the projector bulb.

if you plug it in and turn it on, you should at least hear fans running, then it'll shut down because there is no lamp. that's about it.

Sharp XR-10X Bulb works once then nothing

this is something which sharp didnt foresee!!!!!!!!!!
sharp has two identical models
sharp xr10x & the newer model xr10xl.both the lamps look alike , however both have a different rating & reverse connector!!
i.e both cannot be interchanged!however if u have the old xr10x & if u try to fit the new bulb which is lower in wattage, it will explode in 20 mins
if you have bought a used projector , then u wont know if someone has interchanged the ballast!!
as this model was discontinued 2 years back!!!!
so confirm the model , it is mentioned under sharp name or at the bottom
good luck

Sharp XR 10X lamp replacement issues

I sent mine in. They changed the bulb and cleaned the unit. The one thing they did suggest that seemed helpful was to upgrade the firmware. They did this as part of the service. That may be your problem, but I don't know that the firmware is upgradable. Yes indeed, they do charge an outrageous price!! I went through Sharp because they would guarantee the work, and I didn't want to buy two bulbs.
