We have a Toshiba multimedia projector. Model #TDP-S8. Use app. 3 hours weekly for church services. Three weeks ago, started with changing color. White looked lavendar/gray, etc. Now it consistently has a vertical white strip flashing to the right of center. Also....is starting to have problem connecting with the computer. Help!

Check the color wheel if it is not turning when you hit the power button (light should flash) you have 1 or 2 loose caps on the bottom of the main board behind the audio input try to resolder them with low heat iron these are smt caps and very hard work on if you have not worked on this kind of job take it to a expert
good luck! ps make sure you glue them down
if you do get them to work to prevent a reocurance.
OR you have a power supply issue which
should be a swolen 3300 mf 10 volt cap
in the main power supply.

Toshiba's s8. Designed to deliver stunning images in breathtaking XXL format, the TDP-S8 features 2000:1 contrast, the latest DLP technology for brilliant color and sharpness, and 2000 ANSI lumens brightness for top performance. The product retailed for close to two thousand dollars. Due to problems production was discontinued. If it works for you then you got a good deal. Replacement parts are easily available on ebay.com for reasonable prices.

Toshiba TDP-S8 projector cannot communicate from my laptop, it shows no signal. how can i fix it? thank you so much...

after installing the new lamp, hold the volume top & bottom key simulteniously, when green light indicate at panel start the projector & go to service there you may found reset lamp ? press yes the lamp will reset.

Your lamp is going out. You can buy a replacement lamp for about $300. Just do a search for the specific model + lamp & buy one. It is very easy to replace. Make sure you reset the lamp timer on the menu after replacement.

I had the same. Try to press the "input" and "menue" buttons and plug in the power cable. No control light should be active after that. Press the "power" button and it should work.

Hi there

Does your Projector go in for regular services ?

Have a technician check out the fans of this unit as well.

I would suggest you hook up a UPS to this Projector , because eventhough you might not have power dips or failures - the power supplied to appliances is not spike free and Projectors struggle to handle this well.

please start your computer first and then the projector- use function key with f4 or f6 or f7 or f5-and select computer from input of the projector.

The reason why the projector is shutting off is so the lamp doesn't explode. It's more of a safety feature on the projector, you can reset the lamp and it might work for another 500hours. If the picture is still pretty bright I can get you the reset procedure, but be warn that when the lamp does eventually blow it could shatter the glass inside, so be careful, it shouldn't hurt the unit.
