LCD shutting off automatically

I use a Benq LCD projector to give powerpoint presentations. Lately the projector shuts down shortly after powering up. Just before it shuts down the Power and temperature indicator lights flash in red and the lamp light flashes in yellow. Clearly the problem is temparature related but the fan is running. What do I do? My projector shus off shortly after powering up also. I have unplugged the projector, rebooted my computer and even got a new bulb. Nothing seems to work. Is there a short in projector somewhere??

    I have the same problem. The fans are working but the unit shuts off shortly after it is turned on. Cleaning the filter did not help, can you?

    sounds like power supply, or ballast.



    cost to repair will greatly exceed the cost to replace.

    Optoma MovieTime Digital DVD Projector spins up, then stops spinning, says "No Disk". Tried several other disks and blowing out dust, shutting down and restarting. Fan appears to be running.

    My Optoma H56 undergoes a shutdown right after I turn it on and the optoma insignia shows on the screen. The fans are running just fine, so I have no idea why it would shut down.

    Had the same problem with PB2140, during startup the lamp went off and power and lamp leds turned on. This happened after the projector fell down. I read a post there hat mentioned it was probably the power supply so i disassembled the projector. I found out that a small transistor of the power supply was torn away but it was still inside the projector. I found it, put it back and the projector works just fine. Thanks!

After turning off/ shutting down my benq projector a few seconds later it automatically starts up again, I don't know how to stop this from happening?

Hi and welcome to fixya.
my name is Yan ready to assist you today.
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble.
Hopefully, we can get this resolved quickly.

Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the projector and to a working electrical outlet. The projector's buttons may be locked for security. Unlock the buttons or use the remote control to turn on the projector. The power cord may be defective.

My benq projector turns on for a few minutes (light and fan going strong), then it shuts down.

if it goes through shut down mode (lamp first and fans run a while), reset the settings to factory default. while you're in the menu, check the lamp hours (under settings). if they're close to 2000 hours, replace the lamp. if the projector shuts down immediately, fans and all, you have a power supply problem. you'll need to replace it.

Screen resolution on powerpoint cannot be locked at high res. Changes when connected to my projector. Monitor screen res. also changes everytime the projector is plugged in, In power point display (2nd...

I just checked the specs on your Benq PB 6110, which has a native resolution of 800X600 and will simulate 1280X1024. When you connect it to your computer, the computer goes to 800X600, right? That is the resolution of the BenQ. How high a resolution do you want? THe highest I have seen in projectors is 1024X760, which is not that much higher. Projectors seem to lag behind monitors and Plasma/LCD/LED TVs for resolution. They must have a very small market share therefore low developement.
