Sony VPL CS5 Multimedia Projector Problem

That could indicate the following-

1. The lamp cover or filter cover aren't properly closed. Try shutting the projector down> opening both covers> closing them> restart

2. The lamp is nearing the end of its life or is faulty and you'll need to replace it.

Have you tried the following:

Connect the power cord and turn the projector to standby mode.

Press the following keys on the remote commander in the following order for

less than five seconds each: RESET, <,>, ENTER.

to clean the lamp: no chemicals, nothing abrasive. you can touch the outer glass (not with your fingers), but do not touch anythjing inside the bell. best thing to use is a microfiber cloth. your lamp is nearing or has passed 2000 hours of use. the projector is telling you to replace it before it blows (and sometimes shatters). after you replace it, reset the lamp timer (through the menu).

Having same problem without lamp change. Did you ever find a solution?

Your response would be GREATLY appreciated. :)

Give input signal to the projector and see that if the menu appears or not on the screen.
if menu comes on the screen then put the backgroung color to blue, instaed of black.

if nothing comes on the screen, then the LCD panels are faulty.

HI
Not sure if its in the handbook but you can download a copy from here

You have to go to the settings on the projector and reset the lamp timer.. Go to your on screen menu and go to settings.. Good Luck

the cover switch is probably not fully made.
Ensure that the cover tangs are pushing the pin
on the miniswitches.
Try putting slight pressure on the fan or lamp cover to see if the lamp/cover light
stops flashing.
you will need to do a restart on the PJ to check this out

not too difficult to do.
requires cover off and minor strip down.
if unsure consult a tech.

Hi,

Pls open the Lamp unit and check it if it is giving the power indication on the panel.
