NEC lt240 lamp light stays off and power light is orange, no Image

I can hear the projector turn on when I flip the switch on and the power display light becomes orange. When I press the power button on top, the power light stays orange and the status light becomes green. The lamp light stays off though (no red, no orange, no green). At this point the fans haven't turned on and the lamp isn't on. Then the status light just goes off as well and the power light stay on standby... Any ideas?

SOURCE: i have a nec vt560

The projector is in standby mode, which is a good sign.
When you press the ON button for "at least 2 seconds or more", what happens.

Do any lights come on at all?

SOURCE: LAMP not switching on NEC HT410

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!

SOURCE: will turn on but the

Hello,

The steady orange light indicates that there is an error on the lamp of your projector. This is also the reason why it won't turn on.

• Ensure that the lamp cover is installed correctly.
• Check to see if the projector has overheated or the lamp usage exceeds 1100 hours (2100 hours in
Eco 2 mode and 1600 hours in Eco 1 mode). If there is insufficient ventilation around the projector or
if the room where you're presenting is particularly warm, move the projector to a cooler location.

The problem has to do with the lamp so have it checked.

Good luck.

The projector turns on but won't project any light through the lens.

If this is a NEC VT series projector, Change the lamp. When if it continues to blink amber and not project and image after installing a new lamp check the lamp cover to see if the micro switch tab on the lamp cover broke off. Some models have a built in lens cover. If the cover is not slid over to open completely the light may not turn on.

I have a LT60LPLK lamp and I wanted to know how I could test it, outside of the projector, to see if it works.

Don't even think about because lamp is supplied with high voltage and You can get snapped realy badly as well You can blow ballast if you short something

Bad idea!!!

I have a NEC VT470 Projector. The power light is steady orange and the status light blinks red 6 times.

steady orange means projector in standby mode
red light 6 times is a lamp error.
either the lamp is old and wont start up or the ballast power pcb is not working.
can you hear the sparking of the high voltage trying to strike the lamp.
if you can then the lamp may be dodgy.
can you borrow one to test it out

Unlock keypad on lt240 projector

If you do not know the password, then NEC can unlock the keypad after you show proof of ownership by providing the purchase receipt. Other than that it only be resolved by taking the projector to an authorized service repair center with the purchase receipt. This is the safety feature NEC employs to ensure they are providing service for the owner and to deter theft. It is a frustrating and expensive process but well worth knowing that if a projector is ever stolen, the projector basically is locked from use. Expect to pay over $200 to unlock the keypad if you take it to a repair center.

NEC Lt240 prblem

Hi 80camaro

You could check in the Service Menu if your RGB is the same percentage and at the same run rate.

The run rate is normally 45-60 and the percentage on 50.

I would however recommend that you take it to a NEC agent to get it serviced.

If this doesn't fix it , then you will be looking at a new Mainboard.

Thanks for using Fixya and good luck.

NEC projector LT220 - replaced bulb, works for 1.5 hrs then switches itself off

Hi Matt

There might be a couple of reasons for this problem.

Best is to start with the lamp - return the lamp to whoever you bought it from and insist on a another new one.

If the problem still occurs you should rather take the unit to a repairer - because it could be the Mainboard or the Ballast ( lamp's powersupply ) that is faulty and will need replacement or repair.

Check if your unit is under warranty - because the replacement of a Mainboard is quite expensive.
