Swapping out old defective JVC HD-ILA Lamp for a new replacement TS-CL110UAA TS-CL110U lamp

FixYourDLP.comPosted on April 6, 2007 Posted in Sony — No Comments ↓

No guide is really necessary but it could be reassurance for those who never though they could do it themselves. Though each series is a little different the same principles apply.

What you need: A Philips Screwdriver.

1) Locate your lamp location (sometimes it’s on the back of the TV, sometimes it’s under the front speaker cover, etc.) If your not sure, look at your manual. If you don’t have your manual, you can download it from JVC by going to:

2) Turn off the TV and allow it to cool down. We recommend letting it set for a good 15-20 minutes, JVC recommends an hour!

3) IMPORTANT: Unplug your TV. Make sure you do not unplug your TV prior to letting it cool down as the TV may be to keep an internal fan running.

4) Remove the lamp cover screw and open the panel. You should see the back of the lamp enclosure now. Locate the two screws and unscrew them.

5) Give the handle a slight tug and it should loose the enclosure for the engine. Swap out the lamp enclosure and scews in reverse order 🙂

Attached below you will see how JVC describes the process in one of the user manuals (note this TV has the lamp enclosure on the back of the set). (Click to enlarge).

How can I enter the Service Menu of my JVC HD-ILA TV? How many hours are on my lamp timer / counter?

FixYourDLP.comPosted on April 6, 2007 Posted in Sony — 3 Comments ↓

First off, be very careful!!! You are on your own beyond this point. There is very little iterature available about the JVC Service Menus, nevertheless, if you just want to check how many hours you have on your TV it should be harmless 🙂

With the TV on:
1) Press the SLEEP TIMER button. It should display something like “SLEEP TIMER 0 MIN”
2) Simultaneously press the DISPLAY & VIDEO STATUS buttons on your remote..you’re in!

If you want to check your lamp hours…

1) Press “4” on your remote (I know, you don’t see option 4)
2) Scroll down until you see the D70 registery…write this number down on a scratch pad (probably a 1 or 2 digital number)
3) Then scroll down to D71, and write this number down (can be any number between 0-255)…i.e., 020 (TWENTY) and 002 (TWO)
4) Now multiple the D70 registery by 256, then add the D71 registery number.

an example from the ecoustics.com forum posted by “DSchell”

D070 14
020 14 0001 0100

D071 05
005 05 0000 0101

take the 020 (the D70 registery) and multiple it by 256, then add the D71 register number (005) in this case.
total hours on this lamp is: 5,125. This is about the standard JVC expects out of these lamps.

How do I reset my lamp timer / counter of my JVC TV TS-CL110UAA (TS-CL110U) lamp after replacing my lamp?

FixYourDLP.comPosted on April 6, 2007 Posted in JVC D-ILA — 15 Comments ↓

How do I reset my JVC D-ILA lamp counter? How do I clear the lamp warning message? How do I get rid of the annonying Lamp replacement message on my TV screen? Why is this “Replace your lamp” message on my JVC TV set?

If you’ve got a JVC TV, or even another D-ILA or DLP TV and you’re getting a similar message, chances are it’s as simple as reseting the TV lamp hour counter.

Per the JVC Manual, its very simple to reset the lamp counter from any TV using the JVC TS-CL110UAA (TS-CL110U) lamp.

1) Press the Menu button
2) Scroll down to the LAMP TIMER RESET option, scroll right to enter
3) Confirm that it is OK to reset the lamp timer by hitting the OK button.
4) The on-screen menu should confirm the lamp was reset correctly

Below is a snapshot from a JVC Manual (Click to Enlarge):

Why is this warning message in place? JVC, and other manufactures know the mean average life of these consumable lamps. Just as your car has a mileage meter that sometimes gets activated for tuneups and service calls at certain mileages, JVC wants to give its consumers a “heads” up, that you lamp has just about reached it’s average life span. This translates to, it’s a good idea to have a spare back up lamp because this sucker might blow up any second now! So in case you get this message, make sure you have a spare lamp on hand and go ahead and reset the lamp counter to get rid of the annoying message. Once your lamp JVC TS-CL110UAA (TS-CL110U or PK-CL120U) finally goes out and you put in a new lamp, you want to reset your counter again.

RCA HD50LPW175 whacky colors — Is it the color wheel?

vrmanPosted on April 5, 2007 Posted in RCA — 4 Comments ↓

I’ve owned my RCA HD50LPW175 for just over a year now. Kicking myself for not buying any extended warranty. A few weeks ago the DLP lamp blew. We replaced it within one week for $180, so it was not TOO bad.

Last night we turned the TV on and there’s a beeping sound on startup. There’s a picture, but it flickers and the color is “off” — images almost look like you are watching through night vision goggles. Usually when you turn this unit off it goes to a bright blue screen which fades to black after several seconds. Now there appears to be no blue (picture is mostly green and pink) and when you turn it off it cycles through a bunch of colors (no blue) before going black.

Could this be the color wheel that has busted? Is this something that someone such as myself — no expert, but handy at fixing things — might try replacing?

Thanks in advance for all input! Gus

Samsung DLP Lamp Compatibility Reference

FixYourDLP.comPosted on February 21, 2007 Posted in Philips Lamps, Samsung, Samsung Lamps, Top 10 — 133 Comments ↓

*PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ARTICLE IS OUTDATED AND HAS BEEN EDITED. THE PHILIPS LAMP ADAPTER IS NO LONGER NEEDED SINCE ALL PHILIPS LAMPS HAVE BEEN UPGRADED TO MEET THE RELIABILITY STANDARDS AND STOCK DEMANDS OF TODAY’S USE!

Samsung has a lot of DLP customers confused… here is a little background:

Samsung originally used Toshiba as their UHP Lamp supplier. Samsung went through a few production runs and then made the decision to switch to Philips UHP Lamps. Why they made the switch is speculation…Higher quality? Better reputation? Better pricing? Who knows! One thing that is clear: Philips is the innovator of UHP lamps. They are also leaders in R&D in this growing technology. Samsung did it’s homework and went with the leader in the industry (good job Samsung)!

So Samsung originally came out with BP96-00224A which was a Toshiba Lamp. This was later replaced with the BP96-00224C which was a Philips Lamp. Here is a picture below showing the only physically apparent difference between the lamp enclosures.

BP96-00224A vs BP96-00224J

Factory Original Lamps / Bulb For your RCA Scenium DLP TV, P/N: 265866, 265919, 269343, 270414, 271326

FixYourDLP.comPosted on February 17, 2007 Posted in RCA — 14 Comments ↓

If you need a lamp for your RCA Scenium, part number: 265866, 265919, 269343, 270414, 271326, 260962, or any other RCA DLP TV lamp, visit Discount-Merchant.com for the best price online or click on this link.

In most cases, your RCA Scenium is powered by a 120W UHP (Ultra High Performance) lamp manufactured by Philips. There is a chance that you have an OSRAM lamp if your enclosure says “Type-B” on it. It is FixYourDLP.com’s suggestion to replace your lamp with Philips branded bulbs only. Philips is the innovator of UHP technology and these lamps are the most sophisticated and reliable lamps available on the marketplace. If you have an OSRAM lamp and it is less than two years old, you’re probably already know the OSRAM lamp are not so great.

Trust Philips, UHP innovators and worldwide leader in the R&D and production of UHP Lamps…it doesn’t make sense to use a cheap aftermarket brand as they always cost you more in the long run! If your lamp is Philips, do not replace it
with a OSRAM, LTI, or other generic manufactured units. Now for your viewing pleasure, here is what your ORIGINAL TV lamp looks like 😉 Click on each image for a high resolution photo.

Original or Aftermarket? We like original TS-CL110UAA TS-CL110U

Should you buy an original lamp or a generic replacement lamp for your JVC D-ILA TV? The choice is clearly up to the consumer, but we like the original lamps for a few reasons:

1. Engineered by JVC for JVC. Your D-ILA is a fine-tuned TV when running properly, capable of amazing colors and resolution…why degrade it for a few dollars in difference?! Our partner site, Discount-Merchant.com has these original lamps available for $160. This is $40 less than the retail price of a generic, brand LTI lamp.

2. According to JVC, they have corrected issues with their initial lamp design which was prone to premature failure. The new lamp is redesigned and a more reliable lamp. Although the part number and model numbers are the same, these lamps should be rolling out to most dealers right now. It’s important that whoever you purchase your replacement lamp from knows about this revision or they can assure you of these “new batch” lamps. Don’t get stuck with someone’s old inventory!

*** Edited 02/21/2008 ***
Although we’ve supported this theory from JVC, in the last year and half, we have seen very little improvement in the quality of these lamps. Matsushita (Panasonic) has been really struggling with the R&D of UHP Technology and evidence is readily available…just talk to any Panasonic DLP owner from the last 4 years! There is a class action lawsuit against Panasonic right now! Conclusion? Purchase Philips UHP Lamps as a replacement…due to demand, Philips just release this lamp for all JVC TVs!!
