projectiondesign GP3 lamp replacement (F3, F30, F32, F35)

ID: 161278

Description: The F35 is a DLP projector by projectiondesign...

Steps:

1. On the projector's right side are the two lamp doors, and the security lock hole.
2. Lamps can be removed/replaced while the projector is powered on (it has 2, so the other lamp can continue projection in critical situations). But I suggest doing it with the projector off, and cooled down.
3. Each lamp has a separate door. Unscrew the captive Philips screw at the top of the door and open it.

4. Observe there are 3 plastic thumbscrews per lamp -- two on top and one at bottom.
5. Rotate them 1/4 turn (90 degrees) counter-clockwise to unlock.
6. If they are difficult to turn by hand, a large flat-head screwdriver may also be used.
7. Once all 3 screws are unlocked, grasp the lamp housing from the rear protrusion, and pull. If you feel a lot of resistance, try wiggling the screws to ensure they have released.
8. For the plastic thumbscrews, horizontal is locked, vertical is unlocked.
9. Once the lamp is removed, you can see the three guide pins, which are held by the three thumbscrews.
