@Dumbfounded,
Indeed, this is my PJ. And yes I know, it is old, and newer ones give better pics. But this is the one my son used to connect to his Xbox, and I really do not intend to buy a new lamp for 500$ or whatsoever. I took the thing apat, and found something like this (attachment). And I think this can be replaced at a lower cost than the companies are charging us. At least I will do everything to find out how. Your help is greatly appreciated, since this is the only site (so far) that adresses this

@webmaster,
I included some low res pictures in JPG format, but they were not displayed. Reason?

I have searched through this thread and it seems I am ill fated. I have an Infocus 4805. From what I read, these replacement bulbs rarely play nicely with the 4805. Do we know why? Do we know what the necessity is for a positive solution?
Hi OzOnE_2k3 !
maybe I can found this chip in some old mainboard of PLD pj.
maybe this is is cheaper, I can get some.
Hi haver1 !
OzOnE and Dumbfounded are right, the original lamp is a 260W metal halide type, DC. But I have few experience on this projector.
some risk.

Hi, ywh,
My problem would be re-soldering the chip, because it is a BGA chip and is probably very difficult to solder.
I might be interested in some old DLP boards or parts though (in the future.) Do you have access to quite a lot of old projector boards?

Thanks Ywh for your reply.
Can you provide me with more details of your 260W DC solution, such as price, and other small, but important financial details? I'd love to test your solution, and report my findings back to this forum.
Thanks in advance!

Hi OzOnE_2k3!
what old DLP boards or parts do you like, give some pics, I can send them to my mobile telephone, so I can look for it.
Hi haver1 !
the price is cheaper, only $40.give me a email.

Dear Ywh,
Thanks for your reply. I cannot e-mail you because my account is still under moderation, since I am a new member :-(. Your offer sounds attractive, and I am waiting to try your solution. Maybe you could contact me instead;-)?My e-mail adress should be within my personal page. If not. please let me know, and I can supply you with an alternative e-mail adress.
Thanks in advance! And for all your other posts.

@Dumbfounded,
I must have been blindfolded, but finally I noticed and have used the same e-mail adress. I am hoping for a quick answer! Thanks anyway, appreciate you showing me around as a NewBi.😀

Hello,
I ordered a Metal Halide bulb from Ywh today, in order to investigate the replacement of my Hitachi Cl-P850 bulb. I will keep you informed on the progress of this project.

It's a gamble
Hello,
I just wanted to urge caution on anyone that may be considering buying a replacement bulb like these. Nothing against ywh or his business partner; they were fine to work with, but I feel it's the right thing to do to pass on my experience.
I purchased a 200w JYD/AC bulb to replace the bulb in my Sanyo PLV-70 projector. I received the bulb and carefully cemented it in place and cleaned the bulb with alcohol to make sure there was no dirt or oil on the glass. It exploded after about 2 minutes in my projector. Since there was no protective cover glass on the reflector, I had to clean broken glass from my projector. ywh then replaced the bulb with another one, and this time I paid him to install it in a spare reflector. That one exploded after about 30 seconds (so it wasn't anything I did wrong). At least this time I took the precaution of having him install the protective cover glass on the reflector. Needless to say, I'm giving up on trying these replacement bulbs. He did give me a refund on the 2 bulbs I bought, but I'm still out $65 for the shipping costs and a reflector I can't use. I'm usually not a gambling man, but I figured an arc tube is an arc tube. I was wrong.
BTW, I originally went this route because my last bulb was rebuilt by Joppru Group and it only lasted about a year (~140 hours). I'm now going with a factory replacement bulb.

Hello jck,
Sorry to hear that your path has been a bit rough but might I ask did you buy this projector new or do you know if it has ever been modified or tampered with?
There may be other factors other than the bulb in play here and any time a lamp is replaced like this there should be a small check list that one should go over other than just re-installing the lamp in the reflector.
One main one would be supply voltage going to the lamp.
You mention your last two lamps haven't made it out of the starting gate.
It is a problem checking voltage with a dead bulb I know but have you ever checked when you got your first re-built one from Joppru Group?
Surges, consistent correct supply voltage, fans-thermo switches and other factors can play a large roll in lamp life also.
You may want to hold off on the expense of a new lamp unless they have a no questions asked total refund policy.

Hi,
Ywh has just confirmed the sending of my (experimental) 260 W Metal Halide bulb. I am looking forward to test this thing. And yes, I am aware of the risks involved in handling these bastards, for nearly20 years, I have been dealing with HBO50, HBO100, XBO100 and XBO400 lamps. Especially the XBO's are very dangerous, since they are at high pressure without being lighted.
Nevertheless, I will keep you informed.
Regards,
Harrie😀

Hi haver1 !
I order your 40v bulb, I will get it tomorrow.
are you sure the V of your bulb is 40v when the bulb is new?
Hi jck!
I run your bulb 30 minutes at least, because I need in focus the bulb.

Hello Ywh,
I really am not shure that my lamp is 40 volts, other than the text on the lamphousing. I include a picture of it, maybe you can read the Japanese (chinese?) text on top.
Thanks anayway, I will just try the lamp you are sending me, and I will keep in touch about the results. It is pretty exciting stuff, these lamps..
