This is a very simple procedure to reset the lamp hour meter on your Samsung DLP television.

Resetting your Samsung DLP Lamp Hour Meter
Very simple procedure…with the TV off…

Point your remote towards your TV…

Press:

Mute + 1 + 8 + 2 + Power.

Your TV set should now say “Loading Factory”.

Browse down to “Option” then press Enter (or the right cursor button).

NOTE: The Mute+1+8+2 buttons needs to be pressed down consecutively and fairly quickly.  If your TV does not enter the service menu after using this combination, you can subsitute MENU instead of MUTE. This seems to work for some sets.  Also, the right cursor arrow also acts as the ENTER button, so try it if you’re having difficulty with the ENTER button.

To exit the service menu, hit press the EXIT button or just turn off your TV (remember not to turn on your TV immediately afterwards!).
