Bulb has burned out for the third time, would like to replace it myself but cannot find instructions on the Samsung website. Does anyone know of a place to download instructions for this DLP.
You don't need instructions. Just take the back off and you will see the lamp housing. It's held by one or two Phillips screws. It slides toward you. Clean everything up in there before you start. Use the brushy attachment to your vac hose. You can't hurt anything in there with that. Be sure and clean the fans real good. It may be time for some new ones. Tape the cover switch shut and power up with the back off. Make sure the fans spin equally and quietly.
On this model the lamp is loaded from the side. Renoving the back requires taking out about 8 to 10 screws for a panel about half the height of the tv and almost the full width.
