Write your make, model and hours please. If there are common failing parts, let's try to keep track of these too so we can how up with fixes together!
Here's more information from my lamp replacement.
Model: Zenith E44W46LCD
Lifespan of original lamp: 12,000 hours
Replacement lamp: Philips 6912V00006C
Cost: $124.99 + 29.95 shipping
October 17th, 2008: "End of life" lamp message @ 9,904 hours. Successfully reset to 0 hours using instructions here http://www.fixyourdlp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=75#p75 which gave me an additional 2,045 hours with no loss of image quality or brightness.
April 17th, 2009: The lamp audibly pops and croaks during a late Friday night Rock Band session (bummer). Total mileage from original lamp is 11,949 hours.
April 18th, 2009: Ordered replacement lamp here: http://www.discount-merchant.com/Zenith ... c-lamp.htm on Saturday afternoon and they are very helpful on the phone. I chose 2 day delivery.
April 20th, 2009: Delivered and replaced in 20 minutes on Monday morning. All is good again in the world!
I registered and specifically came back here because this site had precisely the information I was looking for. Keep up the good work!
