My SIM2 Grand Cinema projector no longer powers on. There is a very faint sound when the main power is on, but no fan and no light. Any ideas?

power cut

WARNING! Sim2 does does not recommend that you change the lamp, they recommend that you contact a local dealer for service. PROCEED WITH CAUTION!
If you still wish to proceed. This instruction is available at avsforum

There are 2 recessed screws on the bottom near the front of the projector (really deep cavities). There are 2 on the backside of the unit. Remove all those and the top cover comes off. Inside you will see a fan held on by 3 screws (you will know it because there are 4 holes, but only 3 screws...that is normal). Remove those and take that fan module off. The lamp is then accessible.

Good luck! __________________

Check you cooling fan for dust or debris.

Hi molyneaux,

You can download the manual for free here - http://office.manualsonline.com/np/usermanuals/mfg/sim_2_usa_inc/ht300_plus__data_projector

There ia always a ring around the lens of all optical devices. If you power on the projector and rotate this ring clock or anti clock wise then you will find that you are able to focus the device to the best of display. Else try the settings manually if there is a provision.

check your lamp. if it has bulges, black spots or fogging, replace it. otherwise, its your power supply/ballast.

Does the main lamp light at all? It sounds light a cooling fan failure. If the fan iis not working the the main lamp will not turn on and the power light will flash.

it's the signal, not the projector.

I have the same problem with a HT250, red power light on back of projector will not come on. But if you leave the projector plugged in and power switch on it will light after some time and the projector works as normal. Any suggestion please email [email protected]

power supply. it's trying to power up, but can't get enough. needs replacement.
