Note
Every meaning of the verb travels with this form, and each one needs an object. Watch which side the subject stands on. In "she replaces the bulb with an LED," the subject does the swapping. In "the LED replaces the bulb," the newcomer itself takes the old one's place. The older sense survives as well: someone who replaces the receiver is simply putting it back.
