Possibly the power supply could be bad or also known as the ballast. But keep in mind that there is a little switch for safety reasons near the cover you are taking off to change the lamp that could not be reactivated causing you the same symptom as a bad lamp. Make sure the switch is closed. than recheck. OR possibly you could have received a bad lamp. I have seen that happen on occasion. Keep me posted. Thanks Jay

Lamp never fires Unit goes right to cool/shutdown.

The ballast might have gone bad, you'll need to check the output voltage of it. In some projectors, the power supply/ballast are combined as one PCB instead of 2 separate boards.

Check the lamp. If it is not blown then there is a problem in the lamp ballast circuit and the projector will need to be serviced.

New bulb worked for a short trail run now wont light up. flashing green led colour wheel is turning on start up

when you changed the lamp, did you blow the dust out of the projector? if the screen on the side of the lamp is blocked (i.e. with dust), the lamp will blow quickly. if the projector were to overheat, by the fans not running or blocked vents, everything would shut down and the led would blink red.

No lamp and a flashing red status light

The lamp has run out of its operating hours which is normally 3000 hrs. Replace the lamp and you will be alright.
