The status light is blinking red every .5 second at .5 second intervals for 6 cycles. The power light is solid orange. Per NEC manual, it says to wait a minute and restart. It just continues the same error condition. I replaced the lamp, same problem occurs. I tried a known good lamp from another projector, same problem occurs. Any ideas?
I have the same exact problem! I haven't tried a new lamp, but after what you said I don't think I'll order one.
The manual does say that the lamp shouldn't need to be replaced. The lamp light would blink in that case.

Tried pressing on help button on remote for 10 seconds as directed.
Also turning off the project, disconnecting the power for 30 sec to clear the memory. Lamp is still not coming on
Anyone have any luck finding a solution?I have the same problem.

I'm having a very similar problem. the projector turns off and gives me the lamp error sequence. I replaced the lamp and same thing. One thing I have noticed is that if I dont have an input, just screen saver, it stays on. Once I change the input, it will go out within five minutes. This leads me to believe it is a board problem but i have no idea how to fix.

Re:
If it is a lamp error try this: When the lamp exceeds 2100 hoursof service, the projector cannot turn on and the manu is not displayed. Do the following: For VT670/VT470 Press the help button on the remote control for a minimum of ten seconds. For VT570/VT47 Press and hold the power and the exit buttons on the remote control simultaneously for a minimum of ten seconds. When the lamp time clock is reset to zero, the lamp indicator goes out. Hope this helps! :]

Hello Look at the number of blinks of the status light. [1] If it blinks at one cycle (0.5seconds On and 2.5seconds OFF) : Lamp cover error or lamp housing error. Replace the lamp cover or lamp housing correctly. [2] If it blinks 2 cycles (0.5 seconds ON and 0.5 seconds OFF): Temperature error. The projector is overheated. Move the projector to a cooler position. [3] if it blinks at 4 cycles (0.5 seconds ON and 0.5 seconds OFF): Fan error. Fans sill not work correctly. [4] If it bliks at 6 cycles (0.5 seconds ON and 0.5 seconds OFF): Lamp fails to light. Wait a full minute and then turn on again. [5] If it blinks continous (Red): Lamp has reached the end of its life. Lamp replacement messege will be displayed. Replace Lamp with same type and number. After replacement reset lamp hour. OK.
if the status light is flashing .5 seconds on and 2.5 seconds off - you need to replace the lamp cover correctly.
if the status light is flashing .5 seconds on and .5 seconds off in 2 - 6 cycles the error is:
2 cycles - the projector is overheated. Move the projector to a cooler location, or/and remove dust in the light path.
3 cycles - the power unit is not working correctly.
4 cycles - the fans are not working correctly
5 cycles - lamp fails to light. Wait a full minute and then turn on again.
Replacing the lamp with an old one was helpful for me. Good news: the projector itself not faulty. Bad news: I have two projectors with the same issue at the same time (the lamps were replaced also at the same time) after only 400 hours of running.
I have the same exact problem! I haven't tried a new lamp, but after what you said I don't think I'll order one.
The manual does say that the lamp shouldn't need to be replaced. The lamp light would blink in that case.
So I don't know what the error could be....

Never could fix that issue, scrapped the projector.
Same problem with a VT57: replaced lamp by a new and a used one, tried the trick with the power/help/exit buttons. No result.
