How do I replace a lamp on my Sony 50'' Grand Wega, Model KDS-R50XBR1?

Question

I've read the manual, but there appears to be no lamp "door" on the read and the manual just tells you a little. Am I supposed to take the entire back panel off? Also, I see a tiny door at read near bottom right with a tiny s***w, but this is way too small for the lamp.

Answer 1

no don't take off the entire back panel.  if you're facing the back panel of the tv, the lamp door is at the lower left side (not the back). it's almost under the screen.  you have to loosen the s***w before opening the lamp door.  you'll know it's the lamp door because you will notice the break in the horizontal grid.
