Zenith DLP Lamp 6912V00006C How-To Replacement Guide

Buying just the lamp (instead of the lamp + enclosure) is a smart choice because:

1) less expensive

2) less waste

One word of caution — Do NOT purchase generic brand lamps such as LTI, APO or third-party manufacturers such as OSRAM. These lamps where NOT engineered with your TV…only your Philips lamp has been engineered to work flawlessly and display the best possible color and experience for the consumer. Above that, it just doesn’t make sense to choose an aftermarket lamthat p for $5-$10 difference (or in many cases more money!!).

Necessities:

Straight from Zenith themselves…Here is a 3 page supplement guide to this write-up for locating your enclosure and resetting your lamp counter

1. Standard Phillips screwdriver
2. Pair of Pliers
3. A new Philips Lamp
4. 15 minutes of your time

Step 1: Locate the lamp enclosure! Remember, click to enlarge any photo!

Step 2: Now unscrew the lamp cover to expose the enclosure

Step 3: We can see a metal handle to pull the assembly out, but first there are two screws!

Step 4: With the enclosure removed, we need to unscrew the metal cover of the enclosure:

Step 5: With the metal cover off, here is what your lamp looks like

Now we can pull out the lamp along with the metal surround clip

Step 6: Now it’s just a matter of removing the surround clip, on the new lamp and re-assembling the enclosure

Before re-assembly, take a good look at your lamp…it’s a Philips manufactured part!

Step 7: Almost forgot why we needed the pliers…to loosen the nut holding the connector to the lamp

When installing the new lamp on the clip surround, make sure that the text on the lamp and the connector head align with the opening as shown below


There is a chance a little plastic from the lead terminals is loose…just pop it back in place!

Once you’ve got the connector clip attached again, the lamp and surround clip can be slid back into the plastic housing

Now just put the metal cover back on the housing and reseat the lamp in place.

You’ve got 4 screws for the metal cover, and two more screws holding the lamp in place inside the TV. Then there is another two screws securing the enclosure access door. Make sure all screws are tight and the access door cover is in place before trying to turn on the TV.

IMPORTANT: The bulb should be handled with a clean cloth to avoid any dirt or oil. Our hands are naturally oily…this is a no-no for these lamps. It doesn’t hurt to do a final wipe with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth before reinstalling your lamp..
