Optoma HD27 DLP Projector Repair / No lamp ignition

This HD27 was sent in by a customer from my day job who was unable to get the lamp to light. Optoma wanted $198 just to put it on a bench plus the repair. I found that piece of the OEM lamp glass had chipped off under a mounting tab and gotten stuck in the lamp fan. Removal of that glass bit allowed the fan to run again and which allowed the lamp to light.

Thanks for these videos. Just replaced the bulb and color wheel on my hd27 to fix both problems. However now I see fuzzy white specs on a dark/black image that I can't seem to be able to blow/shake off. Did I dislodge some dust?

Bom dia! Vídeo foi muito útil para mim, pela suas instruções descobri que o problema do meu Optoma HD28DSE era a lâmpada queimada. Obrigado, vídeo muito bom.

Hey Frank can you do a video on cleaning the dust out of the lens of any Benq projector. I have tried to clean them but no joy. After cleaning the mirrors and magnifiers in front of the dmd chip still dust is there. the dust disappears when focusing the lens but as soon as you turn the lens out of focus they appear. I did not clean the dmd for fear of damaging it.

Hello - I have an HD27. When I press the Power button, it initially goes blue. But then after a couple of seconds, the lamp LED shows red and the power button begins flashing red. I had tried to reset it by unplugging all the cables and then holding the power button down while inserting the power cord. Then the power LED began blinking quickly and then I released. Then I read to press the Power button again and there should be a "click", but mine never did and eventually the Power LED went back to red. I have yet to resolve the issue. There is no fan that comes on when I try to power it on. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi I have a UHD35 that had a big lamp blown. I had to replace the power supply board because it was burned. I have also replaced the lamp but when I turn the device on it shows the optoma logo but after few seconds it goes off and I get blinking red light for power and fix red light for the bulb. Do you know what could it be?

Haver you ever fixed an HD27 with a "Fan locked" error? I replaced both fans. Still get the error.

[bboydradle]

I fixed my color wheel which was missing a chunk, and I also replaced the bulb. Now the fan doesn't even go on and there is just a light clicking sound and the projector goes into red dot lamp failure mode. Seems like things have gotten worse after replacing the color wheel. I have an HD28DSE. Any advice? Thanks

I've got an Optoma X600 Projector, I only use it a few times a year. No longer fully powers on. Power light blinks 7 times, pauses, 7 again, and repeats. Google search points to a Lamp Door Sensor, but I cannot find any schematics on how to address that. PC Detects the Audio signal from it, and web-interface of the projector says "No Errors", so i doubt its the board. Any thoughts?
