How to Replace the Bulb in a Magnavox Projection TV

Magnavox projection televisions are equipped with a lamp, or bulb, to ensure the picture is clear and bright. Over time, the bulb may dim or blow out completely. You can order a replacement bulb and install it yourself to avoid costly repair bills.

Things You'll Need

• Screwdriver

Instructions

1. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet to ensure the television is drawing no power. Allow the bulb to cool for at least 20 minutes to prevent electrical shock and burns.

2. Remove the decorative cover on the bottom front of the TV set, below the screen. Slide the cover off with a little pressure with your hand to reveal the bulb module.

3. Use the screwdriver to remove the protective cover on the bulb module to gain access to the bulb module. Loosen the three screws on the bulb module and pull the bulb out carefully.

4. Insert the new bulb and tighten the three screws. Tighten the screws to ensure that the bulb stays in place.

5. Replace the protective cover and secure the appropriate screws. Replace the decorative cover.

Tips & Warnings

• The screws on the bulb module can only be loosened. They cannot be removed.
