Hi,
First of all check the lamp hour of projector. just reset the lamp hour and try again.
1. Press the menu button
2. Select system
3. Then select lamp reset
4. Select reset
The lamp hour will be retested.
Try to do this before you projector turns off. it is recommended that do this only after replacing the lamp.


If doesn't work then check the following
Check the lamp cooling fan of your projector . may be its has some problem. its not running at the correct RPM. Do one thing, Remove the fan from the projector. In the fan there will be a specification sticker. Remove the sicker. now you can see a hole in the center. its the bearing part of the fan. put one drop of oil in it. u can use any type of lubricating oil. rotate the fan leafs with finger for some time. after that re-stick the spec sticker. insert the fan in the projector. power ON the projector and watch.
ok

WHY DOES MY HD OPTOMA DLP 70 TURN OFF AFTER FEW MINUTES?

If you have recently replaced the bulb you may need to reset the lamp counter in the projector menu.
If you have not replaced the bulb, the projector may be shutting down due to over-heating. Check that the projector is clear of as much dust and debris as possible.
