I have tried to power up my ep719 projector, but none of the lights come on and the lamp does not come on. The unit is definitely getting power as I can feel it getting warm underneath. I disconnected it from my home theater system and connected it directly to my laptop and still get nothing.
Try this:
There is a stuffed 10v 3300uf capacitor on the power board. You need to replace it.
Bellow you can check in the picture where the capacitor is located.
Notice that in this picture I have already took the bad capacitor out and replaced with two small cords to reach the bottom and test the new capacitor.
To reach this place is not fast, several layers of plastic and metal must be removed, but is not a hard task to take the capacitor out and replace it for another.
It works just great! Now it is back on track with awesome image.

Replaced bulb with Topbulb. Worked for 2 weeks but smelled like burnt plastic. Then machine sqeeked and shut down. Lamp light came on. This happened a little then more and more. Sent bulb back and ordered the REAL replacement from Optoma. Worked great for 100 hrs or so then same thing with no squeeking ...just shut down, fan, lamp light. Lasts less and less each time.
