NEC VT 640 projector not getting on

hi,
If the lamp light is solid orange then, the lamp of your projector is faulty. You have to repalce the lamp.
ok

Is the auto power saving feature switched on

It is the bulb 6 red flashing is a lamp problem. Replace it.

if Power is flashing orange - then it's cooling down

if Status is flashing red - then there are 4 flash combinations.
1 cycle (0.5sec On, 2.5sec Off) lamp cover or housing error
2 cycle (0.5sec On, 0.5sec Off) temperature error
4 cycle (0.5sec On, 0.5sec Off) fan(s) error
6 cycle (0.5sec On, 0.5sec Off) lamp error

Which is your condition?

you need to change the lamp-remove the lamp and look at it if it looks black or shattered it needs to be changed

I had this same problem with 2 NEC VT595 projectors. My problem was that there was a broken "tab" on the lamp cover (the plastic cover that slides in place over the lamp) that is supposed to depress a switch which insures the lamp cover is in place before operating the projector. The tab was broken in half and not making the connection there for causing the blinking status light (.5 sec on, 2.5 sec off) indicating a lamp housing or cover error.

HI there

This is a faulty Mainboard you sit with.

The only way to get rid of this problem is to either repair or replace the part.

Reset the lamp and try it.

Try pressing the HELP button. Don't release and press the power button. The LED lights should blink. Release then try to power on again.
