ELPLP55 lamp replacement and time  

It’s time to replace the ELPLP55 lamp when:

Caution: If you continue to use the lamp after you see the replacement indicators, the lamp is more 

likely to break

Warning: Let the ELPLP55 lamp cool before replacing it. If the lamp breaks, handle the shards carefully 

to avoid injury.

3. Loosen the lamp cover screw using the screwdriver that came with the replacement lamp. 

(The screw won’t come all the way out.) Then slide out the lamp cover and lift up to 

remove it.

4. Loosen the two silver screws holding the lamp in place. (You can’t remove these screws.)

5. Grasp the ELPLP55 lamp handle as shown and pull the lamp straight out.

6. Gently insert the new lamp and tighten its screws.

Caution: Don’t touch the glass portion of the lamp with your bare hands; the invisible residue 

left by the oil on your hands may shorten the lamp life. Use a cloth or gloves to handle the new 

lamp assembly.

7. To replace the lamp cover, slide it into position, then tighten the screw. (The projector 

won’t work if the lamp cover is loose.)

8. After replacing the ELPLP55 lamp, you need to reset the lamp timer, as described in the next 

section.
