Sony KDFE50A12-Replace Lamp Menu Option?

daKlone · 13-11-2009, 2:22 PM

I've just replaced the lamp in my KDFE50A12 and have come across a recommendation to use a "replace lamp" option in a menu to reset the lamp timer - I can't find such an option in either the normal menu or the Lamp option in the service menu.

Does such a thing actually exist? And if so, where is it?

Hi

Hope you don't mind me asking, but was it difficult to replace the lamp and what was the lamp model number as I think I need to get one.

Thanks

It was easy. Probably took about 15 mins, but that includes giving everything a bit of a dust.

I just bought the lamp itself rather than the whole module as Sony suggest, which saved me £50. I paid £99 for a lamp from the eBay "lamps-4-less": Sony XL-2400 BRAVIA 3 TV Lamp KDFE50A12U, KDF50E2010 on eBay (end time 04-Feb-10 11:15:00 GMT)

Thanks for the quick response...I will order one today and give it a good old dusting too.
