My NEC NP110 takes one and a half minutes for the lamp to come on from switch on. Is this OK or can it be adjusted to come on quicker.

most of time this is happening due to the dmd connector & main board .some times dry solder occur .but you have to do carefully or by soldering expert

You're better off purchasing new projector, as the part (LCD block panels) will cost more to have it replaced.

Make sure there is not disc in it and try again, is it quicker?

this could be dust, or dried water spots from moisture

Once you have the menu window open, go to SETUP, then INSTALLATION, then ORIENTATION and scroll through the 4 options.

It sounds like a polariser lens has failed, if so it may be cheaper to purchase a new projector than have it repaired.

Hope I was of assistance to you

I have the same problem. The lamp appears OK. but she isn't coming on. It seems like a problem to start the lamp.
Did you find a solution?

I had this same problem with 2 NEC VT595 projectors. My problem was that there was a broken "tab" on the lamp cover (the plastic cover that slides in place over the lamp) that is supposed to depress a switch which insures the lamp cover is in place before operating the projector. The tab was broken in half and not making the connection there for causing the blinking status light (.5 sec on, 2.5 sec off) indicating a lamp housing or cover error.

I had the exact same problem and solved it. After calling NEC tech and getting no help, my son and I decided to:

• Remove, clean and reset lamp.
• Completely clean (with compressed air) system.

And it worked. Here's what we did.

• Removed lamp and cleaned with compressed air (in cans).
• Used two cans of air to completely remove all internal dust. In our case long over due.
• Reinstalled lamp and reset meter. (To reset: Turn on machine, wait 2 minutes or so, then hold down the "Help" button right next to the infrared sensor on the front of the machine).

Works fine now! Dont know if it was technical solution but solved it for us! Good Luck!
