Hey, I am having issues with the bulb in our new tv, it is less then a year old and have replaced bulb once, and awaiting a second replacement. we are wonding if this is a common issue, should we sell it and get somewthing better before bulb goes a third time?
ARE you Buying Original Hitachi Lamp OR Cheap aftermarkets ?
I have had it replaced by the authorized repair person, so i am assuming it is a hitachi lamp
Thats NO Guarantee you are getting a Original Hitachi Lamp I have seen a Lot of Shops Use Aftermarket Lamps but charge for Orignals to make extra profit You should get around 5000-7000 hours from the lamp Whats the Model Number ?
model number of the lamp : s/n 229A5-0581 UX25951
tv: 50Vs69A
Yes UX25951 is the correct Lamp # I would Order a NEW Original Hitachi Lamp Assy. "NO Aftermarket or Rebuilt Lamp Assy. " from www.vancebaldwin.com or www.tritronicsinc.com they are easy to install BUT before you install the NEW lamp Remove the old one and Look in The tunnel for any Dust build-up and check the Cooling fan for Heavy Dust build-up too if Lamp is not being cooled properly the lamp will not Last Long .
PS; Any Heavy Smokers in House ? Cig Smoke is a big Killer of lamps because the smoke plugs up the Cooling Fan Area with a Heavy sticky Dusty mess .
Thanks, i guess i was really wanting to be reassured it is not some known issue and i was going to be paying for it.
