Getting rid of the “Replace the lamp” message: How to reset the lamp timer Sony XGA vpl-px15 projector

August 13th, 2009 · No Comments · Journal

If you replaced the lamp in your Sony Projector, but continue getting the “Replace the Lamp” message when you turn it on, follow the steps below to reset your lamp timer and get rid of that message:

  1. Turn off the projector. Normally when the projector is on, you will see a green light lit up. When you turn the projector off, this green light will flicker, then turn red. Wait until the light turns solid red, then go to step 2.
  2. Quickly press (a) reset, (b) left arrow, (c) right arrow, (d) Enter in that order. You must press this sequence within 3 seconds from the time you hit the “reset” button.
  3. You might want to repeat step 2 a couple of times, as there will be no indication by the machine that you have successfully reset the lamp. Going through the sequence multiple times will not cause any problems, as reseting the lamp timer again will do nothing but… well… reset the lamp timer.
  4. Turn on the projector. If it has worked, you will no longer see the message “Replace the lamp” and you are done!
  5. If you still see the message, try steps 1-4 again. If it still won’t work, dial the official Sony Projector specialists at 800-883-6817. Press option 2, then option 6 and you should connect to the right people.
