Replacement Mitsubishi lamp busted again in less a year!
I have replaced the original lamp for my Mitsubishi DLP. The original lasted for about 4 or 5 years.
I am surprise that the replacement lamp did not last long!!

If a OEM Mitsubishi lamp was used you likely have a problem with the Ballast that drives or powers the lamp---the two pin socket for the lamp goes directly to the Ballast.
If it is Mitsubishi WD-52525 DLP TV then it sounds weak lamp problem in TV and TV needs lamp replacement. How old is this TV and did you replaced lamp recently? Lamp replacement is written in user manual of TV and it is easy work. Please buy Mitsubishi original lamp for TV safety. Thanks.
I have 65" Mits. lamp lasted about 2+ years and burned out. bought new on internet, that lasted about 5 months and went. Got free replacement and that lasted about 4 months. No more free replacements ...
Bought new from different source and it burned out in a week.
Note: These were ALL OSRAM original lamps from reputable suppliers.
They sent a new one but also cautioned about cleaning the "filter" on the lamp housing. NOT the large screens on either side, but the small rectangular one (about 3/4" x 2"). I did this with a shop vac pulling and pushing from every angle and it was really clogged almost solid. No way air was going across the bulb to cool it.
THIS IS CRUCIAL and I feel is the keys to the kingdom! I did this and voila - no more "plastic smell" when installing the new lamp and everything's great!
I feel that Mits should be held accountable for this for not recommending the lamp housing be cleaned periodically (maybe yearly). I really feel if this were done with my original one it would have last a lot longer.
