TOSHIBA DLP 52HM95 How to reset timer module on bulb

[repair-it]

I replaced the bulb only on my Toshiba DLP The bulb is a TB-25. This is the first time I've done a bulb only replacement. Supposedly there is a timer module that needs to be re-calibrated or reset. I don't know where the module is located. I see some vendors selling the bulb with the housing stating module included which leads me to think the module is located inside the enclosure the bulb mounts in, but I didn't see it. Maybe it's inside the plug attached to the bulb?

Anyway - I am seeking information on how to reset this so called module so that the lamp will operate. Apparently the module has 'timed out' as they do after a certain amount of hours and without a reset, the new bulb will not operate. Yes, I can purchase an entire enclosure with a bulb already calibrated, but thought I would try to save some money as these replacement bulbs are getting expensive.

FWIW, I have replaced the bulb 2 times in the past without an issue - using ones already calibrated apparently.The cheaper ones have worked fine despite reading online recommendations not to by the cheaper bulbs but to by the expensive bulbs that cost in excess of $100.00 only.

There is no such thing as a timer module, I don't believe this model has a lamp timer so there is nothing to reset.
Some vendors sell just the replacement lamp itself, some sell the complete lamp and housing, so all you need to do is swap out the complete housing.
Usually the picture starts to get very dark, so you know its time to replace the lamp, but it can also just fail completely, Remove the old lamp and see if it is broken.

Are you getting a error light blinking on the front?

Some dlp's have a lamp timer but this model does not, and the ones that do are easily reset with some button pushes, no parts to replace.

There are some cheap lamps out there that do not last but I would stick with a same brand that is in there now.
