I have a dell 3300MP projector. When starting up the Dell logo is displayed fine. After about 1 minute the unit goes to a solid amber temp light status. Projector display turns off. Unit shows "projector over heating" in the display. What I think it is? Bad Ballast Bad temp sensor What I've tried. Vacuumed out the entire thing. This baby is clean. Questions Are there instructions on how to find a ballast to repair it with - as a DIY job. I assume I can get the parts from ballastwise.com (although parts for dell projectors are hard to get since Optoma keeps a lid on it). Are there instructions on how to purchase, and replace the temp sensor <--which is what I really think is wrong with it. Thanks for you assistance in trying to resurrect the $10 garage sale purchase.

my advise is to get a new one or try ebay - i got my dell 3300mp NEW in box for under $400 - and have looked at other projectors there are very good deals on ebay but make sure you read the entire listing

You should not try it for yourself, Call a Professional instead.

Make sure you have the right input source selected. It may be looking for a signal from some input other than the one you're connected to. Beyond that, if it truly isn't seeing the input then you'll need to have the projector serviced.

This is a very common problem with these projectors. The fans lock up and the units are out of warrenty. The fan you replace it with must be the exact same as the old one, even though it is the same as a 5$ computer fan. The processor will detect the non-dell fan and shutdown in the same way.I Havent been able to find any replacement fans that will work. I may be interested in buying your broken projector from you if you give up.

I will repair these projectors for you at a cost of $40 plus actual shipping from me to you. You would pay the shipping cost to me. Considering the effort it takes to repair one of these units, this is a fair price. I have repaired numerous of these units with 100% success. My occupation is working as a power supply designer for one of the largest manufacturers of drivers for LED lighting. [email protected]
