I've included the text I posted for that here:
This is a known fault with some early HS10s. There is a sony tech
bulletin (30-2003-123) details the fault. an earlier bulletin
(30-2003-032) claims this affected all models but gave no solution,
other than wait for unit to cool down! :-/
30-2003-123 notes
that models 10,001-16,708 were affected. I worked around the problem by
setting high altitude mode which improves the cooling enough not to
fault. No problems during regular use since I did this 6 years ago.
Official fix is to replace the lamp cover assembly unit (X-4041-024-1)
with unit (X-4041-024-2)
The fault is caused by deformation of
the cover assembly due to increased temperature which causes a
microswitch to indicate the cover is not installed correctly. I read
about someone solving this by placing a matchstick between the cover
and switch!

if you reset the settings to factory default and swaped out cables, then the oly thing left to do would be to realign the lcd panels. unfortunately, only sharp service centers can do this easily. they have a tool specifically made for lcd panrl alignments on sharp projectors. you could try av solutions in ny. the'yr pretty good.

This problem is more likely to be the Green LCD gone. The green LCD's job is to filter out the green on the picture where it isn't necessary so If the green LCD starts to fail, it will let through too much green light. I think its more in the middle because of the heat from the bulb over time.

Unfortunately an expensive repair or total replacement are probably your only real options. Electronically the projector is fine but your problem lies in the physical optics part of it. Either part of the lense assembly or the refraction array is likely damaged or at least very dirty. I wouldn't suggest trying to clean it yourself as this is a 3 LCD projector and all 3 must align perfectly after cleaning or you'll end up with seperated colors. It could also be one of the LCD's is damaged but from your description I don't think so.
I have a client that had the exact same issue with a different VPL model and it was cheaper to go out and buy a new projector than to fix it.
Lamp/cover button blinking red, how can I solve my Sony projector?
The blinking red lamp/cover button on your Sony projector typically indicates an issue with the lamp or the projector's internal temperature. Here are a few steps you can take to try to resolve the issue:
- Check the lamp cover: Make sure that the lamp cover is properly closed and secured. If the cover is not properly closed, the projector may not turn on or may turn off after a short time.
- Check the lamp: If the lamp cover is properly closed, the next step is to check the lamp itself. Remove the lamp and check it for any visible signs of damage, such as cracks or discoloration. If the lamp appears to be in good condition, try reseating it to ensure it is properly installed. If you have access to a replacement lamp, try installing it to see if the problem is resolved.
- Check the projector's air vents: Ensure that the projector's air vents are not blocked or obstructed, as this can cause the projector to overheat and shut down. Make sure that the projector is placed in a well-ventilated area.
- Reset the projector: Try resetting the projector by turning it off and unplugging it from the power source for several minutes. Then, plug it back in and try turning it on again.
- Consult the user manual: If none of the above steps solve the issue, consult the user manual for your Sony projector for further troubleshooting steps or contact Sony's customer support for further assistance.
If the issue persists, it may indicate a more serious internal problem with the projector that may require professional repair.
Sony projector vpl-ex145 light ok, but no lable information
If your Sony projector (model VPL-EX145) has a light that is functioning properly but is not displaying any label information, there could be a few different issues causing the problem. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the projector's connections: Make sure the projector is properly connected to the computer or device that is sending the video signal, and that the connections are secure. If the projector is not properly connected or the connections are loose, it can cause the projector to display a blank screen.
- Check the projector's settings: Make sure the projector's settings are properly configured for the type of video signal you are using. If the settings are not correctly configured, it can cause the projector to display a blank screen.
- Check the source device: Make sure the device that is sending the video signal (such as a computer or DVD player) is functioning properly and that it is properly configured. If the device is not functioning properly or is not properly configured, it can cause the projector to display a blank screen.
- Check for any other visible issues: Inspect the projector and its components for any visible issues that may be causing the problem. This can include debris or foreign objects that may have gotten stuck in the projector, or damage to the projector or its components.
If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the projector serviced by a professional. A technician will be able to diagnose the problem and determine the necessary repairs.
