Epson EMP-74 - Blinking Red Light

Hi Marrie,

The lamp looks fine. The LED that is flashing is the Lamp/Temp (red) every 1 second. The manual says blinking every 0.5 secs is lamp/heat fault, every 1 sec is internal fault, this is every 1 second and the fast fan comes on after about 45 seconds from cold so doesn't seem like an overheating issue unless there is supposed to be a primary colling fan that is faulty. Others have suggested Poss Power Ballast or fan switch fault, any ideas ?

Thanks again Marrie,

I took it to a local PC repair shop who maintain and deal with the local school projectors and they have said there is a problem with the main board.

My problem is where can I get a replacement board for a decent price ?

I was told it would be cheaper to buy a new projector but surely there must be some spare parts around ?

Do you have any ideas where I can go, phone, email, internet for the correct bits - I seem to have hit a dead end other than ebay but in the last 2 weeks nothing has come up. . .

Thanks in advance.
