My Optoma h31 recently died. The bulb was approaching end-of-life, 1,600 hours. Unit started self shutting down. I replaced the bulb. It came up once, then died. Now no green flash light. Checked the power source. Seems fine. Bulb was good. Re-seeded the bulb cover to insure connections made. No luck. I'm guessing needs repair by specialist. How much should I expect to pay? How much to ship... Thanks in advance - Scott

SOURCE: No picture

Hi, Possibly either of 2 reasons: 1. Your player is not sending any signal to the Optima meaning it is the one in question and not the projector; or 2. Your Optima lost its input signal, go through the signal source selection menu, try manual selection & set it to where your source/player is connected. Hope this works out for you, if not pls post again . Good luck and kind regards.

SOURCE: can I buy and replace

There is no "color wheel" in these units. These projectors use a series of LCD panels and filters to create the picture as far as I know. That optical unit will not be cheap. WHat is the rpoblem with the unit that leads you to believe this needs to be replaced?

SOURCE: Optoma h31 was unable to power up

It can have two problems. One is that the lamp has gone out and needs replaced. Refer to your troubleshooting section in your manual. Also can be bad capacitors in the power supply circuitry or Voltage Reg. IC. Either should be left to competent repair individual.

SOURCE: optoma h31 stopped suddenly. I replaced the bulb,

The little metal plate on the projector next to the bulb housing is not fully depressed (pressed down). The plastic cover is suppose to have a plastic piece protruding from it which is to depressed the metal plate when the cover is placed back on. If the metal piece is not pressed down, the projector will not light.
