My VPL CS6 will not turn on. I tried different cords and power points and the dust and lamp covers are securely closed.

Connect the power cord and turn on the projector.
When it's in standby mode, press the following keys on the remote in this order for less than 5 seconds each.
RESET

Tighten the screws of the lamp housing cover or may be a loose contact. Your lamp life may be over. Generally it is 2000 hrs.

hi,
your projectors lamp cover may be open. or there is some thing happened (may be contact problem) with the lamp cover open sensing switch. just open the door and close it. and then try again.
ok

It is possible that there can be few reasons for the fault siad:
1.the lamp can be faulty
2. the filter can be clogged.
3. the lens cap trigger switch can be faulty and staying on
4.The power supply can be faulty, not delivering the power but shuts off.
5,the main processor board can be faulty witth errors.
It might need board swapping to confirm.

See http://www.avlamps.eu/projector-lamp-sony-vpl-cs6-_d9953.html for instruction how to reset the timer

I tried the emergency mode and recovered the powered mode. just make sure you can turn the adjuster ( that big grey plastic screw) freely and leave it that way (don't tighten it or put the **** back in). try turning it on. works for me..

make sure the lamp door is closed securely. if the door doesn't/ can't trigget the door switch, you'll need to replace the door, or the switch.

reset the settings to factory default and change your cable. if that doesn't help, the polarizer filter on the blue lcd panel is fried due to excessive dust and heat. the optical engine will need to be replaced.

Hi there

Replacing the lamp won't make any difference at all.

If you have checked the fuse on the Powersupply Board and it tested ok , then the whole Board will need replacement.

Make sure the interlock switch is activated by the cover of the lamp.
Can't measure a voltage with the lamp cover open. High voltage is powering the lamp from an smps or ballast supply. If lamp is New, cover switch is good, then the lamp power supply could be faulty.
