It seems the copper wire would be your ground wire to chassis,Just to make sure you said Lamp ,but I think you are talking about a projection Tube ,Projection has 3 Tubes Red ,Green and Blue and if that is the cast it is the ground wire that connects to chassis frame.you should look at the other 2 Tubes and see where the ground wirers for them connect.
Let me know if you need any more help or have any more questions. Thank You
What is the model number that is printed on back of TV? When i run the model# 58CF97
it is not showing correct information it comes up as Maytag?
Another thing is this a TV or a projector? Because DLP TVs have lamp, lamp fan, ballast board, Light Engine also known as the optical unit block.,Dmd moduel,power supply board,ect...Also what is the year of this model?
Ok,Now Im really puzzled Let me do some more checking and I will get back to you .
I was wondering after you replaced the Bulb in Tv have you tryed turning set on and if so what Happens? Or have you decided not to try it because of loose wirer? It could be the wirer is just an extra that goes to nothing.
Ok,then its possiable that it does go to the Lamp ,Lamp has 2 wires 1 connects on the end of Lamp and the other is ground on the lamp case. Did you order the whole Lamp and casing or just the Lamp?
The wirer you are talking about connects at the end of the Lamp,When you get the Lamp their will be a small screw poking out at the end of Lamp and it goes their,another thing you need to wear gloves so you do not get your Fringer prints on Lamp if you do then it can burn image of fringer prints on it.PS your TV is DLP.
Ya, the wire coming out of the old one went to the Lamp.
Good luck with your TV. Thank You for trying FixYa.

It is one of the contacts of your Lamp. The crimped part touches the lamp terminal and it has come out from the lamp holder ( socket ). Most probably the lamp holder would have heated up and this crimped terminal would have slipped out leaving a hole in the socket.
Best would be to change the socket ( holder ) itself unless you have access to high temperature glue. If you had difficulty removing the lamp it is evident that the holder has melted and deformed. Replace it to prevent sparking and further damage.

thank you for your reply. From what you described, to replace the lamp socket would be best done by a TV repairman..correct? Also, do you think this problem was cause by the blown lamp..
Thank you for your evaluation,but I think you have misunderstood my problem. The TV is a projection TV and there is only one lamp and it has a color wheel. The wire is not a copper wire but a white sleeved copper wire. Isn't a wire usually common? I would be interested in re-evaluation because your description is so talented detailed.
Thanks again.
Ladywinn, thanks for your interest..
I re-checked the model no. on the back of the TV....it is still 58CF97. I know it is a difficult no. to find but I have found it while searching for a solution, but the no. is correct.
I do not know the year and don't know how to find it.
It is a large JVC TV...About 50." flat screen.
Sorry, I do not know what a DLP TV is.
bobhifi.....What does changing the changing the socket (holder entail? Do you consider it a major operation? Is this a job for a repair man? I'm fairly good at repairing electrical/mechanical
items.....Thanks
interesting thought....I did not replace the lamp yet, still waiting for a replacement from Philips.
Sort of being careful not to try anything until it know what that wire is all about. From another suggestion (bobhif), he thought that the wire is from the socket and when the lamp blew up, it distorted the socket and allowed the wire to be pulled from the socket...your thoughts...Bob
I bought the lamp in its casing. There were no wire coming out the end of it. There were no wires visual at all. The lamp sets back in the casing and I was careful not to touch it.
