If you need help repairing your TV please comment below the ShopJimmy video or feel free to send us a YouTube message. Please include your TV model number and the symptoms or issues your TV is displaying. The more details you can include the faster and more accurate our response will be! You may also call our customer service at (877) 881-6492!
@cheeseballpictures – That is correct. If you have the same DLP TV model as the one shown in this video it will be the same amount of screws to change your lamp. If you have a different model, the number of screws can differ. It is typically around 2-3 screws. Replacing the entire housing, is typically easier, but costs a bit more as well. You can click the annotation links in the video to find your bulb. Please let us know if you have any questions or need assistance buying. (877) 881-6492
so, in the begining 2 screws were unscrewed, to remove housing. so if i buy bulb in housing, is it 2 screws to change?
Thanks this video saved me 200 dollars

I just watched this video, but I did not buy just the bulb… I ordered the whole housing plus bulb… is there anything that I should know about installing this any different than if I was just installing the bulb?
I just completed replacing the bulb in our TV. While I took my time, it was an absolute piece of cake. One issue. I replaced the bulb and in the video it talks about carefully removing the clips on the sides of the housing. VERY carefully. The plastic was a little brittle and I snapped a clip. I think it’s ok, but you want to be careful. Maybe next time I’ll replace the whole thing. If you have basic skills, you can do this, or buy the whole unit. Great people to work with…Thanks!
I agree. I bought bulb with catridge first, when it went out within 2 months, shopjimmy sent me a replacement “bulb only”. I followed this video to put the bulb in housing, except when it says (1:15″”) “Carefully unlock the housing clips and slide the housing pieces apart”. I broke the clip on one side, and the plastic on the other, and the housing became useless. It could be that the plastic housing pieces became brittle from the heat. Just my two cents!!

The only problem is that you are out of stock on the 915B441001 that I need. Great price; but no merchandise.
This is waht I was told:
The LED light engine actually blinks them in sequence instead of using the color wheel, that’s why it won’t work
Just replaced my lamp. I had the green timer light blinking then the red lamp light would be on. I could hear my cable station audio but the screen was black. I ordered a replacement bulb with the housing, eliminating the need to follow all of the steps in this video. Cost an extra $10 but all you do is take one screw out off the back, unscrew the old housing unit, pull out the old and put in the new and tighten the screws. Takes 2 minutes if you get it with the full housing unit.
@ozrallyguy: We’ve never seen this done before. I don’t think there are bright enough LEDs for this on a single LED still. Anything is possible, though! Retrofitting a DLP TV with a single LED white light source would mean having to fool the DMD board into thinking the ballast was operating correctly & firing, plus you’d have to make a custom power output for the LED. You’d also need a reflective housing to smooth out the light and remove “hotspots”.
If you can hack it, we’d love to see it!
This may be a dumb question… But, is there an LED conversion kit?
Hi John. We also sell the complete bulb + housing (cartridge) for $65.99 with free 2-day shipping in US. Just like the bulbs, these complete lamps are OEM-compatible, are rated for 6,000 hours, & have a 1-year warranty! search 915b403001 on our website(shopjimmy(dot)com) for details!
I don’t know…Mitsubishi sells the complete bulb and cartridge for 99.00.
For me, it’s worth it to spend the difference and just slid the cartridge in.
Hi, John! These bulbs are actually OEM-compatible. To alleviate any potential quality concerns, we back them with a one-year warranty. And, if you’re in the US, we ship them free 2-day delivery!
Hello… Can you tell me, is this a Mitsubishi brand bulb or, a similar type?
i just orderd this very light MITSUBISHI 915B403001 with Housing from amazon from shopjimmy hope it works
I ordered a $60 lamp with housing from ShopJimmy that came super fast. Then I came here and found out how to install it . I paid a repairman $255 to replace the lamp. He charged $155 for the lamp and $100 for labor. Didn’t find out my $200 extended warranty didn’t cover replacement lamps until it blew! In 3 yrs nothing else ever went wrong with my 65 inch tv. Lesson learned. I’m so grateful to Shopjimmy which I found when I decided not to pay another $255!
So I went through the process of switching the bulb out and followed the directions to the T, but it still hasn’t fixed my problem. Still have sounds but no video. What are the steps to troubleshooting before I go to the TV store and have them fix it?
I had fell asleep with my Mitsubishi model one one night, (I’ve had it since 2010) and I believe there were power outages that morning…It came on, then went off, about 3 times before I got out of bed to turn it off. Once I went to put it to use, I heard what sounds like a bulb exploding… 🙁 picture went out and it went straight to noise. After I a few attempts, I assumed that the bulb was out, but what would cause it to go to noise? Is there a more expensive issue at hand?! Please help
jgamn23: Red LED light typically indicates a blown bulb. You can either replace the whole lamp or save more money by re-using your original lamp housing & only replace the bulb, using this video as a guide. Click the link in the Description to purchase the bulb from ShopJimmy(dot)com! Call 1(877)881-6492 if you have further questions. ~frank
I have a Mitsubishi WD60C9 and my son and I were watching TV and it went pop and we lost the picture. After about 10 minutes we tried to turn it on and the led light went green on the tv to turn on but we heard a whirring sound and then that was it and it turned off and the led turned red. Do you think it is the bulb that went out on it? I’ve had the tv for almost 2 years now. Please let me know you think it may be. Thanks
As for when its going to fail, it is really anyone’s guess. Hours of use are one of the best signs. Bulbs generally work for 6000 hours, and after that, you are on borrowed time. Most TV’s will alert you when you hit a certain time limit. It may continue past that alert but usually it will appear to be dimmer. Some types may be rated for more or less time, it depends on the bulb type and manufacturer. If you are close to your limit, you may want to have a spare lamp on-hand, just in case 🙂
If it’s bad it won’t light, or will attempt to light, come up briefly, flicker, & then go out. In order to confirm you would need to remove the lamp door and use a piece of card or something similar to depress the lamp safety switch. Then turn the TV on and see if the lamp lights (dont stare into the lamp and remember to keep your hands out as it is a high voltage when it starts!). If the lamp is working, but you are not getting a picture on your screen, then you need to check other parts.
Hello..how can I know if the bulb is bad or is going to fail?
Thanks sooooo much! Very informative and thurough. I was going to replace the ballast & bulb as one but now im goong to replace the bulb only.
