3 steps to a new BenQ MP622/MP622c projector lamps

Shelagh McNallyPosted on August 20, 2012 Posted in FixYourDLP, Projector Lamp Replacement Guides — No Comments ↓

Follow our 3-step guide to a new BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp for your BenQ MP622 / MP622c projector.

Step 1: Know when to replace

When the BenQ MP622/MP622c projector is in operation, the number of hours of lamp life is automatically calculated by the built-in timer.

Warning messages

When the BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp is approaching end of life the BenQ MP622/MP622c projector Lamp Indicator will start flashing red. Warning messages will also appear on your screen.

First warning: The BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp has been in operation for 3000 hours. Install a new lamp for optimal performance. If projector is running in Economic Mode, you can wait until 3950 hours of lamp usage.

Second warning: The BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp has been in operation for 3950 hours. Replace the lamp as soon as possible. You will begin to notice that brightness has diminished and the picture is not as clear.

Third warning: The BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp has been in operation for 4000 hours and is reaching end of life. Replace the BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp immediately.

Final warning: The BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp has reached end of life and the projector has shut down. The BenQ MP622/MP622c projector will not turn back on until the lamp has been replaced.

Step 2: Buy authentic

The Internet has been flooded with companies selling projector lamps.

Many advertised their lamps as “generic and compatible” — a euphemism for a knock-off, copycat technology that produces an inferior and dangerous product. Don’t believe the cheap prices you see as there are hidden costs to installing generic lamps.

You get what you pay for and in the case of generic lamps it’s usually a long list of problems. Generic lamps look like a great bargain but these knock-off lamps are created with inferior materials making them susceptible to explosions when installed and they can damage the sensitive components in your BenQ MP622/MP622c projector. They’ve been created using toxic substances such as Krypton-85 (which is carcinogenic to humans). “Compatible” lamps also have a shorter life span so can actually cost more money in the long run.

Buying authentic guarantees a projector lamp created with genuine, non-hazardous materials by the original manufacturer. These lamps come with money-back guarantee and keeps your warranty entact. It’s worth the few extra dollars to eliminate potential problems and have a lamp built to work properly with your BenQ MP622/MP622c sensitive mechanisms. Learn more about spotting dangerous projector lamps by reading our article: 7 tips for spotting counterfeits.

Buy an authentic BenQ 5J.06001.001 projector lamp for your BenQ MP622/MP622c projector. Save yourself unnecessary headaches. You’ll be getting a far superior product with a replacement guarantee and tech support.

Step 3: Install the new BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp

Before changing the BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp:

Reduce the risk of electrical shock by disconnecting the power cord on the MP622/MP622c projector.
Reduce the risk of severe burns by allowing the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes.

The lamp cover is found on the top of the projector. Using a coin, loosen the screw holding the BenQ MP622/MP622c lamp cover in place.

Remove the lamp cover and place it to one side.

Be careful not to touch the inside of the projector where there is a sharp edge that can cut your fingers.

Loosen the screw on the BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp.

Click the wire handle up and use it to pull the BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp out of the projector. Pulling too quickly can cause the bulb to shatter. Learn what to do should the bulb shatter.

Lower the new BenQ 5J.06001.001 first into the connector on the BenQ MP622/MP622c projector and then align the two holes on the projector.
Tighten the screw on the lamp.

Re-install the BenQ MP622/MP622c lamp cover and tighten the screw.
Reset the total lamp operation timer.

NOTE: The BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp contains mercury and should not be thrown into regular garbage. Recycle your used lamps! If you bought from an authentic manufacturer they will recycle the lamp for you at no extra cost (another reason to buy authentic lamps).

Reset the lamp timer

It’s important to only reset the lamp timer when the BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp has been replaced. Resetting the lamp timer without changing the BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp can severely damage your BenQ MP622/MP622c projector.

Go to SYSTEM SETUP.
Scroll down to ADVANCED. Press Enter.
Scroll down to LAMP SETTINGS menu. Press ENTER.
The LAMP SETTINGS page displays. Highlight Reset Lamp Timer.
Warning message displays asking if you want to reset the lamp timer.
Highlight Reset and press ENTER.
The lamp time will be reset to ‘0’.

Do not reset if the lamp is not new or replaced as this could cause damage.

Extending the life of the BenQ 5J.06001.001 lamp:

Keep your air filters clean to avoid overheating the projector.
Use the Lamp Power option on the BenQ MP622/MP622c projector and set to Economic Mode to reduce the amount of power used but extend lamp life.

Consumer Alert: The dangers of RPTV counterfeit lamps

Shelagh McNallyPosted on August 20, 2012 Posted in FixYourDLP, Projector Lamp Replacement Guides — No Comments ↓

Keep your TV working by avoiding RPTV counterfeit lamps

Would you compromise your health and risk your eyesight for the sake of a few dollars? Using RPTV counterfeit lamps puts you at risk for potential damage to your eyesight as well as exposure to Krypton-85, a radioactive gas that is linked to cancer.

Why expose your family to this toxic gas to save some money? Why risk damaging your RPTV as well?

Toxic bargain

What is Krypton-85 doing in your generic RPTV lamp? Using this toxic element is the only way for copy-cat manufacturers to re-produce the technology created by PHILIPS, the original manufacturer of projector lamps.

After years of research, PHILIPS developed a revolutionary arc tube filled with mercury-argon mixture that created intense light but lowered the heat allowing both the lamp and projector to become smaller.

Since PHILIPS patented technology is not available to counterfeit manufacturers, they resort to using Krypton-85 for the same result. This radioactive gas is created from by nuclear reactors during the fission between uranium and plutonium and has a number of industrial and medical applications. It’s safe when used in a controlled environment. It’s not safe in your RPTV projector lamp.

Lack of durability

In order to create the knock-off lamp, counterfeit manufacturers usually replace the arc tube or refit old projector lamps with counterfeit parts; others replace the complete module. Whichever method they choose, they are still producing a lamp with a shorter life cycle and inferior technology.

Lack of accountability

Exposure to Krypton-85 happens when these lamps break or explode inside the projector from overheating. Short-term effects of Krypton-85 exposure are dizziness, nausea, vomiting, and loss of consciousness. Long-term effects are more serious and have been linked to cancer. Protect your eyesight

PHILIPS lamps also use a UV coated reflectors allowing for a brighter and more vibrant picture. Generic lamps have a non-coated reflector, which eventually damages color wheel and optical block in your projector—both expensive components to repair.

More importantly, PHILIPS UV reflectors are designed to reduce harmful rays from the intense light thereby protecting your eyesight. Generic lamps without UV coated reflectors can produce an effect similar to looking at the sun without UV protection.

Buyer beware

Inferior knock-off lamps are flooding the market. You’ll find generic lamps being sold on popular internet shopping sites—in fact it can be hard to distinguish the real lamps from the knock-off lamps.

Remember “you get what you pay for” so if the price seems too good to be true then chances are it’s a counterfeit. Copy-cat manufacturers can be clever at disguising their knock-off products including using original PHILIPS logos and parts numbers. So even if the lamp looks authentic if the price is too good to be true, then chances are it’s a counterfeit.

Shop smart and stay safe

Be a smart consumer and purchase your PRTV lamp from a guaranteed seller such as Discount-Merchant.com. These OEM retailers have a partnership with PHILIPS to sell their original lamps. You’ll be getting a lamp produced with the proper materials and a guarantee replacement should there be any problems. Those few extra dollars are worth peace of mind and your health.
