Infocus IN1 Gaming Projector

I have recently purchased a IN1 Gaming Projector however, after i have turned it on and it has warmed up it just turns it's self off with no warning, or display to indicate that it is over heating.

Is this may be just the lamp or something more terminal

    I have an IN1 Infocus gaming projector also. I have had it for about 4 months and it just started shutting off after about 10-15 min. After looking at many reviews for this projector I have found that it is a regular problem with all the infocus projector models. One tech called it an "irregular shut down" and the lady who had it had to send the whole projector in to be fixed. If the company has this problem so much then why is there no recall to fix it.

Send it in to Infocus to be fixed, or try the fan thing.

Hi, I just bought the same projector Infocus IN1 and after just 15 minutes of use it turned off due to overheating. It seems that the lamp is very ineffecient and produces too much heat. The ambient temperature in the room is only 16 deg. celcius. 

The solution I came up with is to have a standing fan blowing air directly on the back of the projector from less than a foot away. The standing fan which we usually use here in summer was enough to keep the projector cool. The infocus IN1 did not switch off for the next 2 hours (the entire length of the movie), until i turned it off myself. I am not sure how this system will fare in summer when the room temperature reaches 30 deg. celcius.

I have an Infocus G300-ww projector which has stopped working. When pressing the power button it feels as though only half of the button depresses and will not switch on. There is not a problem with the...

In the Infocus IN1 G300-WW projector the problem won't turn on, is not with the lamp or configuration, it is the Power button that internally breaks a plastic tab and does not make contact at the ignition point, you just have to disassemble the upper plastic, look for the plastic part of the Power and put glue on it so that it is the same as the other volume and light contacts. The projector is reassembled, it is connected and the Power is pressed, so it should turn on and give the image. This fixes the Infocus IN1 G300-WW won't turn on problem

En el proyector Infocus IN1 G300-WW el problema por el que no prende o no enciende, no es de lampara o configuracion, es el boton del Power que internamente se le rompe una pesta?a de plastico y no hace contacto en el punto de encendido, solo basta con desarmar el plastico superior, buscar la parte plastica del Power y ponerle pegamento para que quede igual a los otros contactos de volumen y luz. Se vuelve a armar el proyector, se conecta y se oprime el Power, asi ya debe prender y dar imagen. Esto soluciona el problema de encendido del Infocus IN1 G300-WW

Black and white stripes, no picture

just clean your projector board that connected to the main board, just clean the port.

My infocus IN1 projector won't turn on anymore.

Hi,
It may be the lamp is out. Normally a projector will try & fire the lamp 3-5 times then shut down with a different color light like amber or red. If the lamp doesn't light then it could be the lamp or perhaps the lamp ballast that starts the lamp has failed. A stuck fan also causes similar symptoms. There's 2-4 fans in the projector if one is stuck or bad it will turn off within 5 seconds or so after the lamp lights.
Does your lamp light at all? Are the lights a different color after it shuts down? Answers to these questions help figure out what's wrong though it's impossible to say for sure without looking at it. I service almost all Infocus projectors if you would like a quote please reply with your email address or write me at [email protected]
Good Luck,
Jim

My in1 projecter keeps turning itself off

if the lamp has 2000 hors on it, it needs replacing. go into the menu and find out how many lamp hours are used. it could be the lamp and it could be the ballast.

Problem with the InFocus IN1 Gaming Projector (when recieved) - No red, constant yellow tinge and constant lines.

It is because the xbox 360 is set to 60hz, change it to 50hz and it will be clear like it's meant to be. However, some 360 games are 60hz so for those games the quality is not good.

I recently bought a infocus in1 audio projector and i cannot get sound and picture together. only seperately by pressing the input botton

Sounds like you have the video and audio plugged into different inputs. For example the video is going to video 1 and the audio is going to the audio input of video 2

If you get only video one input and only audio on another input... Then the above described connection is the only thing that would cause this to happen!


Cheers
