i just had the same problem i took the top of the projector off and cleaned the color wheel and sensor seemed to have fixed the problem that is for now. seems to happen to me once a year on the dot but last time it was warranty. good luck hope it helps.

I had the power on and off cycling issue described in another post and when I reassembled the projector I forgot to plug the two wire plug back into the power board. The power light flashed. I removed the top cover and plugged it in and the projector is now working perfectly.

which light and how many flashes?

clean out the projector with canned air. the dust is keeping in the heat and the lamp can't cool down. check the fans, too. check the lamp timer. if it's close to 2000 hours, replace the lamp and reset the timer.

if you know how to open the unit, try fixing its ventilation. flashing bulb light sometimes mean an occurance of overheating. try to clean all the fans and the air vent.

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.

the bulbs blew

Reset The Lamp Timer.

While simultaneously holding down (+ . >) and AUTO SYNC on the projector, Press ( I ) ON and ( - . < ) on the projector.

"LAMP 0000H" is displayed, indicating that the lamp timer is reset.

NOTE..... Make sure only to reset the lamp timer only when replacing the lamp. If you reset the lamp timer and continue to use the same lamp, this may cause the lamp tp become damaged or explode...
