You will most likely need a 100/120W lamp. Make sure you are ordering a 100/120W lamps with the adapter in order to prevent the dim picture. Your ballast may not be strong enough for the 120/132W bulb. Mike,

I was given a Samsung SP43J6HD for free today, unfortunately with a supposed broken lamp. Does your company have a conversion kit that will fit, and at what cost? Kind regards Bjorn P.S I live in Norway. Hello!

The tv turns on and works fine, but the picture is very dark, even in a totaly dark room. Is this a sign of the bulb going out? And if so where can i get the adapter and bulb for this tv.

I alredy tried the OSRAM P-VIP 100/120 1.0/1.3 E23h(h=15Kv precharge) which is not compatible with Optoma RD65 whose ballast only supports 5Kv precharge. Do you carry any compatible lamp for the RD65? Thank you. Hi,

By power supply, I'm not referring to the ballast...but the actual power supply of the TV. If you follow your TV power plug from your wall to the back of the TV, your power supply is located right there. How do you check to see if your power supply is the problem? Follow your power cable to the power supply PCB and examine the board. Usually when the power supply fails, you'll get the same symptoms as your lamp going out. Either: 1) The TV will turn on and off like you mentioned John 2) Or, you will get 5 blinking on the front of the TV How do you know if your TV might have a bad power supply? Unless your technically inclined (with the proper diagnosis tools) you will have to rely on your eyes. On the power supply board, you will have a series of capacitors. If the top of these capacitors are slightly elevated, they could be leaking. Obviously, if the tops of the capacitors are blown off, you know that's your problem :) John,

During manufacturing of the BP96-00224C series TVs, Samsung switch from the 100W to the 120W. Looking at the replacement parts from your TV, it appears that your TV should have come with the newer 120W ballast...which makes sense because it's a HLP Series. So, your TV should be compatible with the brightest kit, the P132W+Adapter.
