Introduction:
The PD251-002 DVD module has hit end of life and has been replaced with PD251-043 DVD module. This
Technical Bulletin explains the step-by-step instructions for field replacement of the PD251-002 DVD module to
PD251-043 DVD module.
NOTES:
Replacement of the DVD module will only work for P-Series TVs with a manufacture date of 2013
or later.
PD251-043 DVD module can only be used in the side load position.
The side cover of the P-Series TV will not be able to be installed when using the new PD251-043
DVD module.
The existing remote control, PD108-427 will work with the PD251-043. The PD251-043 comes
with a new remote control.
Tools:
Only three tools are required to replace the DVD module, a small Phillips head screwdriver, a dremel tool, and a
file.
Procedure:
1. Unplug the P-Series TV power cord from the wall outlet.
2. Remove back cover from the P-Series TV by pressing in the snaps and sliding off.
3. Remove the 44 pin to 15 pin DVD cable from the module. Keep cable to be re-used with the PD251-043
DVD module.
4. Unscrew the PDISEMSM3X55 screw that holds the DVD module in place. Keep this screw for
installation of the new DVD module.
5. Discard the PD251-002 DVD module.
6. Looking at the back of the P-Series TV, cut a 0.25” section of the left hand side rib for placement of the
new PD251-043 DVD module using the dremel tool. File any burrs if necessary. This allows the DVD
player to fit so the retaining screw to be installed with the new player.
