How to replace JVC TS-CL110U lamp enclosure for your projection TV.

Arturo — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:01:13 +0000

JVC TS-CL110U Lamp Enclosure.

Step 1.- Before you start doing anything, unplug the TV from the wall outlet. There are a few thousand volts going through your ballast, be very careful! It’s also a good idea to let the TV cool down for at least 15-20 minutes as the bulb itself can get extremely hot and you can severely burn your hand.

Step 2.- On the back of your TV locate the lamp door on the left side.

Use a flat screw driver to unlock it and remove it.

Step 3.- Inside you’ll be able to find the lamp enclosure.

Uninstall the two screws holding the enclosure in place.

Step 4.- Pull it out from your TV using the metal handle.

The inside will look something like this.

Step 5.- Place the new enclosure inside.

Secure it in place using the screwdriver.

Step 6.- Place the lamp door before trying to turn the TV, that’s because there is a blue switch that needs to be pressed in order to turn on.

Step 7.- Reinstall the screw on the lamp door and your finished.

CLONED PHILIPS UHP LAMPS!

Arturo — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 22:30:37 +0000

BEWARE!!! CLONED PHILIPS UHP LAMPS. A few weeks ago we wrote an article about generic, copied, and illegal lamps. We briefly just upon “copied” lamps. You are read the article here:

How do Identify Generic Lamps

A series of false, cloned Philips lamps have appeared on the market recently. These lamps are refurbished and/or rebuilt with cheap components from third party manufacturers, yet they preserve the original Philips badge…further confusing buyers out there! These are NOT from Philips! Again, we stress the importance of purchasing replacement lamps from authorized distributors!

Just a few days ago someone brought a lamp to the shop, telling me that he just got it from the web for a cheap price. Problem was, the lamp stopped working after a few days. Customer was getting the three blinking lights on his Samsung DLP TV. He just bought the lamp so he was hesitate about assuming a manufacturer’s defect. Upon closer look, the lamp had a strange squar-shaped glass at the front. Luckily he had his original Philips lamp and he quickly noticed the differences. Only upon close examination was it very obvious that it wasn’t made by Philips.

Why would Philips place a square glass on a round lamp??? No, they didn’t, and they wouldn’t!

See what I mean…

So let’s take a closer look at these “refurbished” lamps. The original from glass has removed, the original burner (or filament) was removed only sparing the reflector. While the lamp theoretically has a new burner and a new front glass, this in no way compares to the original Philips product!

Philips uses a patented pending technology on the filament. Not only are these burners created by very expensive machinery, they are also aligned by laser guided robotic “arms.” Most generic lamp manufactures do not have the capital or necessary R&D to develop these machinery, and so their installations are done by hand, one by one. As a result, generic installations of the burner can never match the original in quality.

It’s fine and dandy to sell a generic product, lots of companies out there do it (and we’re here to point out these companies), but these guys crossed the line when they deceit the consumer on purpose by leaving the Philips trademark logo intact. This company is misleading consumers into thinking they are buying an original Philips product for a slightly lower price. If a price is too good to be true, it’s usually a scam. Only trust authorized Philips Dealers!

With consumers being short on cash these days, some companies are trying to take advantage. Ultimately it is the consumer who ends up paying more because their bulb has a shorter lifespan, hence, they have to replace them more often. I’ll say it again, only buy from authorized Philips Distributors.

The end result….be a smart shopper and do your homework. Spending an extra 5 minutes getting the nitty gritty details can save you a lot of headaches down the line.

To buy ORIGINAL PHILIPS Lamps please visit http://www.discount-merchant.com

Here are the photos of the lamps side by side so you can judge for yourself.

This is a close-up shot of the front glass and reflector. Though this is a poor image (sorry!), you can see the reflector is not in the best condition (specs of the mirror material has come off), and the front glass is not the original.

Here are the two lamps side by side…the Philips original on the bottom right, and the generic “Philips” on the top left.

This is the generic “Philips” E23 100/120 1.0 bulb…image speaks for itself.

Falsificacion de lampara UHP PHILIPS

Arturo — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 21:11:08 +0000

Falsificación de lámpara UHP PHILIPS

Cuidado!!! Hay en el mercado Lámparas falsas (Clonadas) de reemplazo, que utilizan la marca PHILIPS. Hace unas semanas escribí un artículo en ingles sobre lámparas, copiadas e ilegales. El cual brevemente se hablo sobre las “copiadas”.

Aquí se encuentra: http://fixyourdlp.com/blog/2008/11/21/beware-of-third-party-generic-dlp-tv-lamps-counterfeit/

Una serie de lámparas clonadas han aparecido en el mercado recientemente. Estas lámparas son re trabajadas y reconstruidas a mano con partes baratas o chinas las cuales son de una pésima calidad y sin embargo tienen la marca de Philips impresa en el foco, asi confundiendo al consumidor. Atención! Estas lámparas NO SON de Philips, si va comprar una lámpara en alguna parte, verifique si son distribuidores autorizados!

Me trajeron a mi taller una TV-DLP que recién le había cambiado la lámpara y esta ya no prendía.

En la búsqueda del porque dejo de funcionar y con la aclaración del cliente que su lámpara “era nueva” tratamos de localizar el circuito culpable de esta anomalía.

Pasado un buen tiempo en revisar el equipo y estando todos los sistemas correctos e indicándome que la falla era la lámpara, saque la lámpara del portalámparas y efectivamente parecía “nueva” , incluso la marca y otros datos de verificación correspondían al fabricante Philips.

En una inspección mas cuidadosa note que el cristal (“cuadrado”) del frente de la lámpara no era igual que la original, así que tome una lámpara nueva original Philips, instalándola nuevamente en el televisor-DLP y sin mas encendió normalmente y sin problemas.

Porque Philips usaría un vidrio cuadrado en una lámpara redonda? Es muy obvio que NO.

Los falsificadores están reutilizando las lámparas dañadas de Philips, quitando el cristal redondo (este se rompe al quitarlo de su lugar) y sustituyendo por otro cuadrado y el “filamento” por uno genérico y sin garantía alguna.

Philips usa una tecnología que esta por patentarse, la cual involucra maquinas extremadamente caras, las cuales usan un laser para alinear el filamento. En cambio los filamentos de terceros no tienen el capital para adquirir esta maquinaria tan cara, la cual los obliga a hacerlo a mano, lo que ocasiona una caída extrema en calidad.

El cliente Pago nuevamente por el servicio más el costo de la lámpara y no pudo reclamar al que le vendió la lámpara.

Así que tenga cuidado al comprar su lámpara de reemplazo, busque un proveedor confiable, nosotros recomendamos que visite a http://www.discount-merchant.com/ donde tienen buenos precios y le garantizan su compra.
A continuación les muestro unas fotografías de este fraude

En esta foto se muestra el foco completo con el vidrio cuadrado

Aquí es un acercamiento del vidrio.

La diferencia entre una copia y la original.

La clonada aun tiene la marca de Philips.

Beware of Third-Party & Generic DLP TV Lamps, Counterfeit, Copy Lamps

Javier — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 22:47:51 +0000

Counterfeit lamps DO exist… and they are presented in a number of different disguises:

Generic lamps sold online by a number of vendors today should be considered counterfeit when sellers deliberately mislead consumers with claims to "OEM" or "Genuine Original" when in fact the are knock offs. There are many of these generic lamp e-tailers popping up daily… it’s a disease that needs to be stopped! We will show you the questions to ask and how to confirm you are receiving a genuine product!
Brand name lamps, marketed and sold, again, as the “original” lamp for your particular TV. Just because an aftermarket lamp has a brand name stamped on it does not qualify it as an original part number for your TV. Your television was engineered with consideration from the ORIGINAL lamp supplier and the TV manufacturer. Engineers from both companies worked hand in hand to fine tune your picture. What does all this mean?

EXAMPLE: lets use for example a Samsung DLP TV, model HLS4666W TV. The original lamp part number is BP96-01472A. This part, when purchased directly from Samsung at about $199.99 includes the plastic case (sometimes referred to as the enclosure, assembly, housing, etc.) and the actual lamp. The lamp this TV originally shipped with out of Samsung’s factory was manufactured by Philips. The replacement part number BP96-01472A shipped from the Samsung Parts Factory is also a Philips. There are vendors out there that claim to sell the original lamp for your TV at deep discounted prices… this is a sign something is not right.

The competition is hot and it’s only heating up higher. Generic companies are trying to figure out ways to gain a piece of the market share and there is nothing they will not consider to get it! As are copies of brand name sunglasses, watches, purses, and so forth, copycats have realized the market potential of replacement lamps (more on this below). What’s stopping a third party lamp manufacture from stamping “Philips” on their lamps and introducing them into the marketplace? Nothing really. Philips doesn’t have a world police as every dock examining every product that’s shipping off international ports. If the clothing industry cannot prevent fraud and copycats I would imagine lamps would have similar problems. All the more reason to purchase lamps from authorized and legitimate distributors, not just a fly-by-night company with the best price working out of their garage importing generic product!

Where do these bogus vendors sell?

eBay is a common breeding ground…as are fly-by-night brand-spankin’ new ecommerce stores. They claim to ship you original parts at deep discounted prices, often times over $100 less than the manufacturer! For a part that retails less than $200, something is wrong when an e-tailers claims this folks, watch out.
Heavy marketers – some of these fly-by-night merchants are investing literally thousands of dollars a day on advertising [to be blunt] their crappy merchandise. And they really do need these advertising campaigns to trick uninformed consumers into their scams. Search for Samsung BP96-01472A lamp, you’ll see a lot of these scammers on paid google search results. These guys are battling out through pricing competitions on a daily basis…ultimately they will lose any credibility if they’ve had any when consumers realize what is going on.

What do these bogus vendors sell?

More often than not, cheap, generic lamps. These are made by a handful of manufactures, mostly in Taiwan and mainland China. Factories seem to be popping up as these realize the market potential of this industry.
Branded lamps – Venders often claims they are selling an Original Equipment Manufacture (OEM) product. While a lamp may be OEM for one product, this does NOT make it an OEM product across the board! I.E., if a Samsung lamp is manufactured by Philips, that does not necessarily mean that a different Sony TV’s OEM lamp is Philips (in this case, both Samsung and Sony depend on Philips as the OEM, but that’s beside the point). There are third party lamp manufacturers that are insisting to sell original lamp by marketing them as OEM. This is a lie and deceitful!

Why do consumers need to be wary of these third-party and counterfeit products?

Rear Projection TV’s (RPTVs) were manufactured by collaboration efforts between many different companies. Texas Instruments (TI) was instrumental in creating the DLP Technology and the DLP chip that spawned this revolution of TVs and Projectors. Philips has been a huge part of the movement as the inventor of the UHP lamp technology used across the world today. With these two main partners are the OEM product manufactures, such as Samsung, Sony, Toshiba, Panasonic, etc. It is collaboration through these companies that resulted in RPTV and Front Projection (FT) projectors.

As this is the case, these companies have spent countless hours perfecting their innovations to work together seamlessly. These companies have spent millions upon millions of dollars on Research and Development (R&D) to not only created and perfect their technologies, but to mesh all the this technology together.

When a third-party manufacture enters the marketplace, there are a lot of disadvantages at play…and that is a whole other discussion there…

Often times third-party products (including lamps) can VOID your manufacturer’s warranty and lead to premature failure of other components inside your TV set! Your DLP is “driven” or powered on by a “lamp driver” or a “ballast” This ballast has been engineered as the bridge between the TV manufacturer (Samsung for example) and the lamp manufacturer (Philips for example). To ensure proper ignition, continuous voltage, and a healthy long life, the ballast and lamp are matched together.
With a generic or third-party lamp, you are committing yourself to buying an inferior product! Spending $5, $10, or $15 extra on an original part versus a generic/third-party should be a no-brainer when you’ve got a lot more to lose than a few bucks! More on this to come, this has already become longer than it should be.

What should consumers do to protect themselves?

Always buy from reputable, AUTHORIZED dealers.
Check to see how long the company has been in business.
Check affiliations
Compare pricing with competitors (if you see a vendor that’s extremely cheap, but has limited quantity, that’s a red flag)
Call the company to check them out and ask questions

JVC PK-CL120U – The NEW JVC D-ILA TV Lamp for 2008…dissected first on FixYourDLP.com!

FixYourDLP.com — Tue, 06 May 2008 23:08:03 +0000

We’ve got our hands on the lamp that sits in the latest line of JVC TVs for 2008…as we predicted, JVC has changed lamp manufactures. Philips and Philips Lighting has won the contract and for good reason!

Below are a few snapshots…as more information becomes available we will update this page.

Let us know if you have any information on compatibility, etc.

The new JVC replacement lamp, PK-CL120U, is currently compatible with all the latest 2008 model TVs, including the ultra slim:

HD-65S998 (65" HDILA D-ILA TV) Here’s the user manual for your conveience and reference
HD-58S998 (58" HDILEA D-ILA TV) Here’s the user manual for your conveience and reference

(Please note, the HD-70GC78, although a current generation model, it still uses the older TS-CL110UAA lamp and is not covered in this review)

These new 2008 models, first displayed at the Internation Consumer Electronics Show (CES 2008) are 40% thinner than the average rear projection TV, and actually 43% thinner than JVC’s own previous generation models which featured the TS-CL110UAA lamp. These new TVs are under 12" (actually 10.7" and 11.6" respectfully) and can be wall mounted thanks to the standard VESA mounting, as well as the attractive and sleek from bezel.

The new PK-CL120U user replacement lamp in these JVCs are made by Philips..

The new Ultra Slim TVs are 1080P HD-ILA with a new 2 Million Pixel Structure 0.7″ 3-Chip design. this is the 5th Generation D.I.S.T. with GENESSA and all feature Energy Star compliant circuitry.

Additional Features:
No hassle HD with built-in ATSC tuner and Clear QAM
User replaceable lamp (PK-CL120U)
Dual HDMI w/HDCP Digital Video Inputs

As you can see below, the new lamp is manufactured by Philips Lighting…this is a big positive move on the part of JVC to insure more reliable sets! No longer should JVC fans be discouraged by unreliable UHP lighting!

Philips 100W / 120W 1.0 lamp…

Note this UHP Philips lamp does not have a front glass and resembles more like a typical projector bulb with is small size.

This makes the lamp extremely sensative! If the filament is touched, that could be the end of your bulb…be careful!

Another view of the new Philips JVC Lamp

As you can see, the front cover extends out a bit and give the lamp a little bit of breathing room. The previous generation TVs using the TS-CL110UAA lamp featured a sealed UHP lamp. The new design should allow for better heat dissipation and longer life.

the bulb enclosure has a more aggressive look to it too..hehe..

The Philips Solution Is Here… Philips TS-CL100UA, TS-CL100UA JVC D-ILA Lamps

FixYourDLP.com — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 00:37:21 +0000

The Philips Solution

JVC D-ILA TVs have a serious flaw… and actually, they’ve always had this flaw: the lamp. Millions of consumers purchased (and continue to do so), JVC D-ILA Projection TVs because of the outstanding picture quality. Compared side by side to Samsung, Panasonic, Sony, and the rest of the gang…these D-ILA TVs look amazing. The specifications are the state of the art, cosmetically they are beautiful, and they are among some of the lightest “projection” TVs on the marketplace. But they have a week point–the lamp.

The replacement lamp, part number TS-CL100UA, or TS-CL110UAA was originally reviewed by us a few years ago.

Ok, back to our story…

UHP lamps are still a relatively new technology. The first UHP lamp was created in Philips’s laboratory and went public in 1995. Since then, Philips has been making strides in improving the technology. Just like everything else, imitators entered the UHP market and competition was born. Today, we’ve got at least a dozen manufactures of UHP Lamps in the marketplace…normally the competition would be beneficial, but in this market it has created a lot of of controversy. All in all, we always stress to use a high quality lamps are replacements…the clear favorite is of course Philips UHP Lamps.

With all this said, we wanted to share our review of the Philips brand JVC TS-CL100UA Lamps. These are brand new to the marketplace but we’ve already “hot tested” three D-ILA TVs over the last three months.

The results are promising!

With over 2,200 hours clocked and counting, our Demo JVCs are processing Hi Def cartons mornings and nights. The picture is still as good as it was three months ago and most importantly, NO FAILED LAMPS!

NOTE: Testing UHP lamps “continuously” is only one way…the stress test is the REAL test…and we’re doing this as well. On a fourth JVC set, we are doing our stress sets which consists of 10 power cycles a day. The status so far after three months: TWO Thumbs UP!

How to identify a original Philips lamp? Well, clearly you would think it says Philips all over it…traditionally this is how it’s always been with Samsung, Hitachi, Sony, RCA and the various other brand name TVs that utilitize Philips UHP Lamps. In this case, we’re a bit preplexed. The lamp itself does not have any identifying markers on it. The traditional Philips stamp is no where to be seen! I don’t know if the units we’ve got our hands on are still pre-market versions of the lamps, but I would expect Philips to start badging these very soon! The only real way right now is to purchase from a trusted vender. We’ve always recommended our sponsar, Discount-Merchant.com, and they have this lamp available right now on their site: http://www.discount-merchant.com/

Here are a few pictures of the lamp and enclosure… click to enlarge…
