Lp335 in focus projector lamp not turning on; spark switch gap is sparking

Hi!

I have an old Infocus LP335 DLP projector that I am trying to debug. The lamp is not firing and the spark switch gap is clicking and sparking when it trys. Perhaps the spark switch gap is bad and needs replacement or is this a sign of a bad lamp? Thanks in advance

How do you know if the ballast works? I opened my nec projector because the lamp would not fire. It tries to fire many times and then turns off. I can see something glow neon blue on the ballast just before it either shuts down or goes through the re-fire process. Should I hear a clicking like some people are explaining?

It could be the lamp. I have seen this many times on DLP'S. If the ballast is firing it which is usually around 600 volts or so, then i would say it is fine, and only needs a lamp. Let me know if that helped you. Later Jay

The Lamp won't strike

if the inside of the lamp has bulges, black spots or fogging, replace the lamp. otherwise, if you have a dlp projector, it may be the colorwheel or the ballast. if you have an lcd projector, it may be the ballast.

My Infocus DLP 4805 can't turn on

very possible the lamp is bad. Many projectors will not even power on once the lamp burns out. As for the strange noise, there may be something more serious wrong with it.

Usually when the lamp is good and you get this message, the ballast is bad. That is the part thatdrives the lamp. Check with Infocus for a repalacement balast.

Black lines are appearing on the top and bottom of projection,.

try factory reset in the menu. if that doesn't help, it could be the light tunnel, but infocus doesn't have parts for the lp3xx series anymore.
