I'm in the market to buy a television & need assistance.

[Sgt PSN]

the projection bulb on my sony wega finally went out yesterday.  not too bad considering i bought the tv in aug 2004 and was told that the bulbs usually last 3 yrs on average.  but now i need to get a new bulb and install it.  any of yous ever done that before?  from what i heard, it's practically as easy as changing a regular light bulb.  is this true?

here's the tv


here's the bulb

[Seabiscuit36]

for the most part yes.  It depends on the TV, but i just did mine in my mitsubishi, and it took all of 2 minutes

you better call a technician monkey face

Make sure to touch the bulb with your fingers before you put it in. The oil from your fingers will help provide a better picture

[Sgt PSN]

wouldn't it be better if i jerked off on it? 

[Father Demon]

Isn't that what broke it in the first place?

[Sgt PSN]

good point. 

[mussa]

Its pretty much pointless in getting stuff like this "fixed". As cheap as LCD's are now, its worth buying a newer better TV for not much more than what they rape you to fix.

[Sgt PSN]

not going to pay to have it done, just going to order the bulb and put it in myself. 

[mussa]

aye captain. aye

[Sgt PSN]

what are you, a faring pirate? 

[rjs246]

what are you, a faring pirate? 

Did you just try to spell farg to preempt the filter and fail at it? Holy god man.

[Sgt PSN]

yeah.  i do it all the time with farg and hoyda.  those 2 words are ingrained in my vocabulary and make their way into spoken conversation sometimes. 

have fun ripping me a new one with that. 

[Diomedes]

quite normal, no worries

The Marines have programmed you well.
