New lamp, half screen is bright the other half is much darker

Bright on the left about half way across then the right side is much darker, I can still see images just darker. Even with the guide screen so it must be the new lamp?

Hello there,

No, the bulb is NOT to blame for this issue. I know this problem all too well so my answer may be what you (and others) are looking for in the following thread: http://www.fixya.com/support/t25268267-get_rid_dark_shadow_across_top_screen

Basically what happens is a prism in the projector has become dislodged due to the cheap adhesive they use and the extreme heat it's subjected to. Some JB-Weld Steel Reinforced Epoxy will fix it right up. Just read my instructions in the above link.

If you can afford it I would buy another lamp and return that one. How long have you had the unit? Did this happen right away after installing the new bulb?
Thanks,
Lee

    If you can't buy one right away then you will have to wait for the return process from whoever you purchased the bulb from.
    Thanks,
    Lee

IH252 inc monitor bottom half darker than top.

Thin screen LCD monitor brightness controls operate several fluorescent lamps called "backlights" that are positioned behind the LCD display. Typically, they're located around the edges of the screen - sometimes just at the top and bottom, and other times at the left and right edges and others still at all 4 edges.

84fdffef-ec73-450a-8fb9-5901d3322462.jpg
Fluorescent "backlight" lamp, inverter & connection wiring.

The lamps are miniature versions of those sold in stores. They require a support circuitry called an inverter that convert & boosts the level of DC to AC voltage performing the functions of a ballast in a traditional fluorescent fixture.

The reason a part of your screen remains dark is because one or more of the components in the picture above has failed and will not allow the lamp to shine. Replacement lamps and inverters aren't expensive - but requires patience and the ability to disassemble / assemble the monitor (which is usually harder to do than it appears) and solder. They are available various lengths and color temperatures (you must get a lamp that is identical or it will be noticed). If this is a new monitor - you ought to return it for replacement. If used, consider the cost of purchasing a replacement (new or used) vs. repair.

I hope this helps & good luck!

Right side will not work light glow only

If you have a service vehicle soon light (not service engine soon) this usually indicates a problem with the foreward lamp system.Your problem seems confusing, but check your high beam lamp operation. These cars are NOTORIOUS for corroded harnesses to the headlights. The problem is usually buried behind the washer bottle or across the radiator area. If you are lucky, it may be a burned out high beam bulb. If the blue symbol for brights stays on and there is no click when pulling on high beam lever, you will need a new turn signal switch.
