lcd panel cleaning epson 8350 free sample

There are three main technologies used for projection – DLP, LCD and LED. DLP (Digital Light Processing) uses a chip made of tiny microscopic mirrors and a spinning colour wheel to create an image. DLP projectors deliver sharp images, don"t need any filters, have a better response time as well as 3D capabilities. The effective lamp life of a DLP projector is only 2000-5000 hours and some people see colour ghosting/banding in some scenes. On the other hand, LCD projectors use liquid crystal displays, have no moving parts and thus are generally less expensive. If you are on a budget a single chip LCD projector is ideal while 3-chip LCDs offer better colour saturation, lower noise levels and work better for movies. However, LCDs require constant filter maintenance and output less contrast. The LEDs in LED projectors have a lifespan of over 20,000 hours. They deliver better colours, have lower power consumption and virtually zero maintenance costs. Also, LED projectors are smaller and generate less heat. Do keep in mind that LED projectors have limited brightness compared to LCD or DLP so they are not recommended if your room has a lot of ambient light.

A 3 colour LCD system uses individual LCDs for red, green and blue. The light from each LCD is combined using a prism to create a final image. It usually offers better quality than single chip LCD or DLP designs.

Plug in the power cord and reset the lamp operation time by holding down the arrow keys and POWER buttons on the control panel at the same time about 3 seconds.

This may very well be a colour wheel or ballast problem. You could try cleaning the air filters because if they are clogged they will cause the TV to overheat and turn off. It may be a circuitry issue but that would need a technician to determine exactly where the problem may be. I’m not enough of an expert to figure this out so I suggest joining our forum where there is a community of TV experts who can help. http://www.fixyourdlp.com/forum/

It sounds like your air filter is blocked. That fan 1 error messages comes on when the fan is going too fast. It means that there isn’t enough cool air circulating in the projector so to compensate the fan is running faster. Trying cleaning the air filter so that there is nothing blocking it. The projector will shut down automatically is the lamp cover is open as well. Keep it closed. Here’s a link to your manual where you can check to see how to clean the air filter : http://www.benq.ca/product/projector/MS524/downloads/

The first thing to check is that all the plugs and screws are installed properly. A black screen usually means that the projector is not accepting the lamp connections. Where did you buy this lamp? It may possibly be a counterfeit that has not been properly calibrated and the projector is not turning on to protect itself. We have an online manual that shows how to reset the lamp timer: http://www.fixyourdlp.com/2012/11/28/replace-epson-hc-8350-lamp/

Have you cleaned your air filter? This sounds like it’s blocked so the air can’t circulate properly causing the projector to overheat and shut down. Try cleaning the air filter and see if that helps. The other problem might be the lamp itself. Is it a certified Philips lamp? Sometimes knockoff/counterfeit lamps don’t have the properly elements and the projector will respond to the fake lamp by shutting down. If you did buy a defective lamp contact the seller and ask for its certification and if that is not forthcoming ask for a refund. Hope this helps.

With this particular model, it sounds like there is a misalignment happening of the LCD panels that creates this screen door effect — what you are describing. Try adjusting the screen distance and seating for a minimum seating distance of 1.8x the screen width. For example, you should be sitting at least 13 feet from the screen if the image size is 100″ diagonal. Your room should also be dark since that will affect viewing. For the main menu, you will need to original remote control to activate it.

You’ve done the first important step of checking that the fan is not blocked with dust. This projector actually has four fans and it you may be hearing the other three fans working. Fan 1 is the lamp fan and if this is not working the projector will soon overheat and turn off. I don’t think it is under warranty any longer unless you bought an extended warranty. I would recommend bringing it to the closest repair shop and having them try and repair that lamp fan. It may be as simple as cleaning and oiling that particular fan. Sorry for the bad news.

You are going to have to open the projector up and blow out the dust. You’ve forced the dust back inside using compressed air so you’ll have to clean the inside. Put on the lens cap before cleaning and when it’s been cleaned. take off the cap and then clean the outside of the lens. Check out our forum for more info.

Have you checked that the air filters are not clogged? If the air filter is blocked the fan will still run but the projector overheats and shuts down. Sometimes One fan may have stopped causing the fan locked error. Check that both are running. Another issue might be the rpm sensor in that fan is bad. The controller tracks the fans rpm and that may be the case for the warning. Start off cleaning or replacing the air filter and see if that solves the issue. Otherwise you will need to bring in a technician. Sorry for the bad news.

I have a Epson LCD Projector EB- G5200W which get some usage mostly during summertime. So I was checking it everything was ok after some months turned off. I turned it on, blue screen, Epson logo on, navigate througth the menus, etc.

What happened is that I have turned it off, waited around 1 hour, and remove the lamp to see if everything would be OK. So it seems, lamp inserted. secondly I remove the removable lens and noticed a small foggy area no in the lens but on the first glass surface inside the projector. Well, I thought to myself: time to go for repair/cleaning service.

What happened is that I decided to turn it on again but, for my surprise, no blue screen, no epson logo. nothing. just a bright blank screen. turn off, turn on: blank Screen again…

Did you reset the lamp timer? If so, then it does should like your ballast colour wheel has either worn out or been damaged. I would check the color wheel for mounting tightness. Sometimes the tape has come loose. You can also see if the ballast needs cleaning. It may have dust on it due to it being in storage. It may also need to be replaced.

I have an Epson powerlite 77c, bulb was replaced a couple years ago and I don’t use it too often. I have a new power cord and no dust. It has been working perfectly fine then the last few weeks it turns on sometimes and other times the power lite is on but when I press power button nothing happens.

I have a 6 months old Epson Tw6700. Sometimes when I start it on, there is no light comming out, and the fan speed goes on a very load/high speed. I cant turn it off with the pwr button, but need manually to unplug the power. If I leave it on a few minutes with no light comming out and the VERY high fan speed, ususally the light gets on an a clear picture shows, but once after a few minutes, the lamp and temp light started to come on…

This is definitely a problem with the lamp. It hasn’t been properly calibrated to the projector so it’s not firing properly and so the dim picture. If it’s an OEM lamp, it may be damaged from the shipping. I would contact the company and ask for a replacement lamp. Also double check it’s the correct lamp for your projector. Epson makes hundreds of model but they don’t all use the same lamp. Using a lamp with a different specification would also cause the situation you are describing.

Hello, I have an Epson 3010-105″ home cinema and replaced the bulb in the unit. I am noticing a ‘pink’ color but on the screen/picture but only on the upper 1/3 of the screen/picture? Any ideas??

If could be a couple of things. It might be the new lamp is giving you that jump in brightness so you are noticing that pink line now. The location of the pink line points to a damaged diffusers or something else the optics getting burned. Sometimes when replacing the lamp, the PLC bands moves slightly out of position and causes pink and blue, or yellow and blue bands depending on the type of projector. A service technician might be able to realign them. I would not attempt this repair unless you are highly technical.

However, this does seem to be a design flaw with this series. It seems heat over time eventually causes this issue. Is it still under warranty? Try contacting Epson and discussing the repair for the replacement part with them.

There is a much longer stream explaining the whole issue on the AV Forum: https://www.avsforum.com/forum/68-digital-projectors-under-3-000-usd-msrp/1458911-epson-8100-replaced-bulb-now-pink-blue-bands.html

I bought an Epson EX7210 at an auction. The description of the item said that it had only been used for 10 hours. The first thing I did when I got home was download a manual and look up how to determine the hours it had been used. I discovered that the only hour counter is related to bulb life, and can be user reset, and once that’s done, it starts showing an hour count at….10 hours. What a coincidence.

My apologies for the late replay. I’m afraid you have been lied to by this reseller. You can absolutely reset the lamp timer to zero and put the old lamp back into the propjector. Judging from the filter this projector has been used for months and many hours. It takes a long time to build up that much dust on the filter. That being said, once you replace the lamp and filter, the projector should still have some life left in in it. These Epsons are very sturdy and built to last. I hope you didn’t overpay too much for it. Good luck.
