that's awesome thanks man. Now if I could get someone to answer my post in the RCA section! lol.

I've been searching this site (and several others), and I haven't found anything related to a problem like mine, so if anybody has any ideas i would really appreciate it. So my HLN467w's lamp went out. No biggy right? Wrong. I ordered an off-brand replacement off ebay (I know a lot of people don't t...
