Here is a Sony TV that turned on and off every few seconds. To remedy this, replace the lamp. This is straight forward and only requires a small Allen wrench. As with all work on all electric or electronic equipment, make sure that it is unplugged first.

    • With both thumb screws removed, the front bezel can now be easily pulled off. It is only held in place by three magnets.

    • With the bezel out of the way, there will be a small cover held in place by a crossbar and a thumb screw. Loosen the thumb screw and fold the bar out of the way.

    • The back of the lamp housing is now visible.

    • Loosen the 3mm Allen bolt. It will not come out of the lamp housing, but will loosen it to remove the lamp housing from the TV.

    • With the Allen bolt loose, pull the lamp houing slightly back and down,

    • this will remove the lamp in its housing.

    • Here is the old lamp and housing.

    • For the replacement, a complete lamp and housing was chosen. The lamp is individually available. There was not a big difference in cost, to justify the additional steps of replacing the lamp housing.

    • Install the new lamp and housing

I ordered a replacement housing with new bulb in it and with shipping it was 35. Ordered it thru Sears online and they sent it out next day air. It took five min to swap out

Thank you SOOO much! Hubby has been sayin for almost 2 years that he’d fix it when the tv started glitching. Well he didn’t, and I got tired of looking at this huge eyesore in the living room. So, I figured I’ll do it my dang self…he’s sitting here quiet, as he sees how simple and cheap this repair is. So annoyed with the repairing procrastinating he does all the time. Love him, but he hates fixing stuff :) Thanks again!!
