Optoma EP719 lamp does not come on

Report abuse

Projector is in standby mode (green light blinking). Push power on the unit or on the remote, the green light stops blinking and stays on for about 3 seconds then goes back to standby blinking. No fan noise, no lamp light, no other noise of any kind. Also, none of the other led's light. Lamp looks to be good. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Sent in the same description to Optoma tech support. They mentioned it could be the ballast or lamp driver. I took the unit apart yesterday and found a bulging capacitor on the power board. Will replace and see if that helps.

Solution!

That was it! Bad 10v, 3200uF capacitor on the power board. Replaced it and the projector is alive and well again!
