Projector won't show picture

Hi, I had the same problem all you have to do is connect something to the projector like a laptop or dvd player so it has a signal. Once the picture comes up of what you are projecting from the laptop or dvd player you can enter the menu and reset the lamp hours. Hope this works for you if not please let me know.

Hi, what you need to do is reset the lamp hours to get the red light to go if it is a new lamp. To do that plug in a source such as a laptop or dvd player. When the display from the laptop or picture comes up go into the menu and reset the lamp hours I had the same problem. Hope this works if not let me know.

Hmm.......

Are you comfortable accessing your display settings? What kind of video card do you have in your laptop?

HELLO,

If your LCD or DLP projector displays no image, this could be a variety of problems. First, check that the projector has power. On the top of the LCD or DLP projector should be some lights. With power, those lights will be on. If it has power, check to make sure that the projector lamp is firing. If so, go to the source. Make sure that it is connected with a VGA cable or USB cable to your computer, or with an RGB cable, S-Video cable or DVI connection to your VCR/DVD Player. From a laptop computer, the VGA cable should be connected to the VGA out connection, and into the VGA in connection on the projector. Are both ends tight?

If everything has checked out so far, the solution probably lies with the external monitor port. Check this by holding the Fn key on the keyboard, then press the F7 key. (On some computers, the key might be F5 or F3. Try these if F7 doesn't work) Each time you press the Fn / F7 combination, you will cycle your display through the following settings:

* Press Fn / F7 once: The laptop screen only
* Press Fn / F7 twice: The projector port only
* Press Fn / F7 three times: Both the laptop and projector port
* Wait a few seconds after each time you press the key combination to let the LCD or DLP projector refresh. Nine times out of ten this will result in seeing your projected image.


Hope this helpout....

look at the lamp head on. an obviously bad lamp will have cracks in the mirror, the stem can have frosty,veiny looking blisters or bubbles, the mirror can have lots of bubbles. And sometimes there are just no obvious signs.

Whether you have a laptop or a desktop hooked up to this projector, you will need to adjust the resolution of your desktop to a level that the projector can handle. Without the Model number of the projector, I cannot tell what the resolution should be. I would hook it up and then lower the resolution level of the PC as see if it shows a picture. Does the projector show your desktop image on the screen? If not then changing the resolution will solve the problem.

I hope that I have provided the correct information that will assist you in the resolution of this issue.

Turn off Progressive Scan in your DVD player. The LP500 can't handle PS.

The projector has one or more "burnt" polarizers, more than likely.

They are replaceable, but expensive if you buy them from the manufacturer.

Look on Google for "burnt polarizer".

It's not the easiest job, but at least they're replaceable.

If replacing the lamp did not fix the problem, I would suggest to check the cables that bring the video from a computer or any other device that you are connecting to the projector.
Also try to hook up a DVD player using the video output from the DVD to the video input on your projector.
Good Luck.

the lamp needs cooling when it gets to a certain temperature. Wait for it to cool and then turn it back on then hook up the dvd player. Got it?
