Where do I go to find a ballast. My RCA Scenium has already had a lamp replaced and now I probably need a ballast. Last time I buy an RCA product, I’ll tell everyone I know not to buy one either. TV is but a couple years old. I have already called RCA and complained they are to call back. Sure they will!!!!!

How to replace Samsung lamp enclosure for your DLP TV.

Step 1. First of all, unplug the TV from the wall outlet.

You have a few thousand volts going through your ballast, be very careful!

It’s also a good idea to let the TV cool down for a good 15-20 minutes as the bulb itself can get extremely hot.
Locate the lamp enclosure door; it’s usually at the back of your television.

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

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.
