Dell 2300MP Multimedia Projector

Looks like there is power supply problem as well as the lamp.

1 Clean all filters
2 Check out power supply (usually a few capasitors need to be replaced)
3 Wuld be a good idea to check the lamp in wokring projector, but if the "Lamp" light is constantly on it is more likely a faulty lamp as well.

Replacing the lamp module requires special considerations:

1. Turn off the projector.
2. Wait 30 minutes for the projector to cool down and then unplug it.
3. On the bottom of the projector, loosen the two screws on the lamp cover and then remove the cover.
4. Loosen the two screws on the lamp module and pull out the module.
5. Insert the new lamp module and tighten the two screws.
6. Install the cover and tighten the two screws.
7. Turn on the projector. If the lamp does not turn on after the warm-up period, try reinstalling the lamp again.
8. Press enter on the projector or on the remote control to open the on-screen menu.
9. Press the up ( ) or down ( ) arrow to select Setup and then press the right ( ) arrow.
10. Press the up ( ) or down ( ) arrow to select Reset lamp hours and then press enter .

light engine or bulb is gettingbad ok how many hours on bulb fans clean ect thx nick

try reseating the vga cable. Try removing the cable, the green tint should disappear meaning that the color or lack of one of the primary colors blue/red/green were missing due to bad connection. or maybe you have a bad vga cable.

When i press the power button red lamp indicator on

could be a heat, fan - sensor issue or a power supply issue. Regards Kevin Andreassend http://www.iceav.co.nz [email protected]

I've heard it could be the ballast, check with Dell for replacements

have almost the same problem. lamp light turned on-->replaced the bulb, now when you turn it on tryies to boot and then the lamp light is on again (but the bulb is brand new).... and no light at all coming out of thing... I guess dell just don't know how to built projectors right way.... and theirs tech support guys are.... they just don't know about projectors more then manual

A couple of things...

If the fan is not working, the lamp will not fire. If you have the owner's manual, it should indicate what the flashing lights mean. Check to make sure that the panels are seated properly. When you replaced the lamp, the outer cover was removed. If that is not seated back 100%, the unit will not work. There are a number of safety "checks" built into the unit to prevent damage and possibly fire as the lamps get really hot.

Check the items above and let us know your progress.
