My epson projector is blinking red and nothing on the screen

That means either the bulb has failed due to over heating, one of the fans is stuck or just overheated.

Hi Bigjouny, sounds like the unit is getting too hot. Please see attached link for list of blinking codes for Epson projectors

Is it just one light blinking red or all 3 blinking red? Be sure to 'reset' the bulb hours. Try another bulb. If it is all 3 lights blinking red then you are sol.

Yes this is most likely the lamp. Does it eventually go back to just a red light?

Yupe, you need new lamp. Ouch.

Just so you know guys (and this procedure is not for the faint hearted!). I had the slow one second red warning light flash. I checked the bulb, which was find and I left it powered off for 48 hours. My projector is no longer under warranty and would have cost me over £300 to have it looked at. I ventured inside to inspect the boards, once I removed the main board to check the power supply I heard movement from one of the light ducts. It took me a while to removed enough to discover the fixing screw which holds the imaging cube in place (which is between the 3 light ducts and the projector lens) had come out (!?) and was rolling around inside the unit. This would also explain why sometimes I could not focus my unit properly. I remounted the imaging cube, put the whole thing back together and PRESTO! My projector is working again.

Hi Sootycat

Ok , most of the time this would be the Fan.Powerboard that is faulty then and unfortunatelly it would be better to replace the part rather than having it repaired.

Repaired Powerboards normally give the same problem a couple of months down the line.
