How to replace assy lamp

look for 1 of 2 lights in front of the tv. after the tv shuts down completley mine would turn back on for another 30-45 min after a good cleaning it will stay off and give a "power light" not Lamp light 2 flashes. I'm waiting on some help myself. But if it's the lamp light you'll need to replace the lamp....approximitly $600 from what i've read so far.

You need to replace the lamp. Order the correct type and code number (from samsungparts.com or the store where you bought the TV). Before starting the replacement, make sure the TV has been off for at least 30 minutes and unplug the set. Remove the phillips screw that holds the lamp cover and then the lamp cover itself. Remove the two screws that hold the lamp to the housing. Pull the old lamp out by the handle. Put the old lamp in a safe place until you can properly dispose of it.

Handle your new lamp carefully (wear gloves to avoid skin oils on the lamp). Put the new lamp in the housing and close up the TV by reversing the above steps (secure screws, replace lamp cover).

I hope this helps.

Follow this procedure to replace the lamp:

1. Turn off the power on the main unit. Wait several minutes, then unplug
the power cord.
(The cooling fan will continue to operate for about two minutes after
turning the power off.)

2. Wait at least 30 minutes after unplugging the power cord to allow the
lamp to cool down before replacing it. To avoid being burned, do not
touch the lamp receptacle once the lamp has been removed.

3. Take the new lamp out of the box.
Do not touch the glass portion of the new lamp.

✍ Do not shake the lamp. Vibration can damage the lamp or shorten
its life.
✍ Avoid touching the front glass of a new lamp or the glass of the
lamp receptacle. This may reduce picture quality or lamp life.

4. Loosen the screws on the rear side panel.


5. Remove the front panel.


6. Pull out the lamp.
Loosen the right screw on the cover with a coin or similar object.


Remove the screw from the lamp cover. Pull down the cover toward you.



Unscrew the lamp and pull out the lamp horizontally.



✍ The lamp is very hot immediately after use. Never touch the glass
portion of the lamp or the surrounding parts.
✍ After it has cooled, place the used lamp into the empty box of the
replacement lamp. Never put the used lamp into a plastic bag.

7. Place the new lamp into its place, then tighten the screw.
Mount the new lamp securely. Failure to mount correctly may cause a
fire or the screen to go dark.




Push the cover back on. Make sure that the hole on the cover aligns with
the hole on the unit. Reattach the lamp cover by tightening the screw.



✍ If the lamp cover screw is inserted incorrectly, the lamp may not
operate properly. In such a case, remove the screw, insert it
correctly and then tighten the screw completely
✍ If the lamp cover is not reattached securely, the self-diagnostic
function may be triggered and the POWER indicator flashes three
times

8. Reattach the front panel securely.




9. Tightly screw the side panel in its place.
