How do I Replace the Lamp on a Samsung HLP6163W?

The Samsung HLP6163W is a DLP rear projection television (RPTV). Like all DLP RPTVs, it uses a powerful lamp to display the on-screen image. The lamp has a limited life span and requires periodic replacing, after about 3,000 hours of viewing time. While you always have the option of calling a repair service, replacing the lamp yourself requires only a few minutes and a Phillips screwdriver.
