Projector Bulb Replacement Procedure

Projector Bulb Replacement Procedure

Here is the procedure to help you with replacing your projector bulbs.

If your bulb is under warranty, all you need to do is submit a work order. Make sure to include all details, such as:
*room number
*projector model (Ex. Epson PowerLite 83+)
*NISD number

Some of these details are hard to locate depending on how the projector is mounted. The more info possible the better.

If bulb is NOT under warranty,  you will need to submit a work order. Make sure to include all details, such as:
*room number
*projector model (Ex. Epson PowerLite 83+)
*NISD number
*You will also want to include in the work order whether you have a bulb on your campus already OR if you would like to purchase a bulb from the central supply at tech support. This information will ensure tha tthe AV tech arrives on your campus with the correct supplies needed for your bulb replacement. If you do intend to purchase a bulb from the central supply at tech support, you can go ahead and fill out the Special Processing Request/Special Supplies Form. (see Projector Project Model and Warranty Information spreadsheet). You will submit this form electronically to SPSR@nisd.net.

NOTE: An option is to have your own campus supply of bulbs. This is entirely up to you. If you keep your own supply of bulbs, please make sure the bulb is available to the AV technician.

Disposal of old bulbs...currently the procedure is to pony the old bulb to Terry Casey, Environmental Department, Central Office. Please make sure the bulb is in a box. Please note, the disposal process is being re-looked at because of the amount of bulbs being sent to that department. As soon as I learn of an updated bulb disposal procedure, I will update this post.
