    I have the same exact problem.
    My projector powers on fine, and the standby light turns green. The lamp powers on for about 2 seconds, then it shuts off. After another 2 seconds, the "lamp" led blinks red once, then the projector goes into standby mode, and the fan turns on.

    Exact same issue here.  Optoma tech support says it is probably the lamp but I've only logged 20 hours or so on the projector so I find that difficult to believe.

    Exactly the same problem...turn on then turn's off and it has a new lamp in it

  • gbcoxford Apr 01, 2008

    Ditto. I turn on the projector and the lamp light signals red for one blink and then the projector fan turns off. I spent $300 and replaced the lamp and the same thing happens! I never got a lamp warning the first time.

    So frustrating!

    On my EP719



    1. Power on

    2. Optoma logo shows on screen and component connections begin

    3. Red "LAMP" light shows solid

    4. Goes into standby mode



    Thus far I have not found Optoma customer services or technical people to be helpful.

    I purchased a new replacement lamp and am having the exact same problems.

    Does this mean both my lamps are in fact perfectly ok?

    I would also like to know exactly what the fault is with the projector and whether it is cost effective to repair it?. Please and thanks.

    I do have the same problem with Optoma EZPro 719.

    The projector will turn on, the lamp kicks on and then kicks back off.

    The fan runs but no picture will come out.

    The red "Lamp" led is on.

    The lamp had less than 60 hours on it.

    I perchased new lamp.

    Replacing lamp didn't fix the problem.

  • branth Jul 15, 2008

    exact same issue, this is only the 2nd time I've used this projector. Lamp kicks on for 2-3 seconds, fan runs then shuts down.

  • jsb5757 Sep 28, 2008

    PROBLEM:

    I have an Optoma EP719. I press POWER / STANDBY and instantly, we have a GREEN POWER LED. Then, 12 seconds later, we have a RED LAMP LED and a GREEN POWER LED. Quickly, the RED LAMP LED dissapears, but the GREEN POWER LED remains. Then, 45 seconds later, we have a BLINKING GREEN POWER LED. What happened?



    TRACKBACK:

    We just changed the lamp.

hi,
First of all check the lamp hour of projector. just reset the lamp hour and try again.
1. Press the menu button
2. Select system
3. Then select lamp reset
4. Select reset
The lamp hour will be retested.
Try to do this before you projector turns off. it is recommended that do this only after replacing the lamp.


If doesn't work then check the following
Check the lamp cooling fan of your projector . may be its has some problem. its not running at the correct RPM. Do one thing, Remove the fan from the projector. In the fan there will be a specification sticker. Remove the sicker. now you can see a hole in the center. its the bearing part of the fan. put one drop of oil in it. u can use any type of lubricating oil. rotate the fan leafs with finger for some time. after that re-stick the spec sticker. insert the fan in the projector. power ON the projector and watch.

Projector problem

I generally fix this by re-seating the bulb housing. Take it out and put it back in. Look for cracking at the base of the bulb on the mirrored surface. It could be a barely functioning bulb that isn't busted, but can't initialize. I would take it to a shop that has the same bub type in a housing and make a quick switch.
