counterfeit, inferior parts that will not fit or perform properly. Your warranty may also be

PART ONE: Removing the Old Mitsubishi 915B403001 Lamp Cartridge
Turn off the TV and allow it to cool
for one hour.
After TV has cooled, remove the
cover of the lamp compartment, located at
the back of the TV. Using a #2 Philips
screwdriver, loosen the screw holding the
cover in place. Put the cover to one side.
Loosen the two screws on either side of the Mitsubishi 915B403001 (they are the
shiniest screws). These screws can only be loosened and not removed completely from
the lamp cartridge.
Take out the bag supplied with the new lamp and open it.
Gently grasp the handle on the lamp cartridge and pull the lamp straight out. DO
NOT TILT, as there may be glass fragments that will fall inside the TV. If this happens,
carefully pick up the larger shards wearing rubber gloves. Take a cloth just damp
enough to pick up the small shreds. It’s important to pick up the broken lamps since
this lamp does contain mercury. Read more about proper clean-up from the EPA.
Put the old lamp gently into the opened bag. Close the bag.
