SANYO PLC-XU70 POWER BLINKING RED THEN SHUTS DOWN

[qa19]

Hello everybody, i just registered on this website and i can see there are many professional experts and i hope soemoen can give me some help!

I have a projector sanyo plc-xu70, was working fine until last week, now it won't turn on anymore.When i press the power button, the power led starts green then after few seconds it starts blinking red and then it just shut down the projector.

On the manual it seems that is a problme of the tempearature inside, but how can it be if the projector is really cool down?

I read on another post that it might be the thermal switch to turn off, but where is it? If i open the case, where can i find it?

Thank you in advance!

From what you have said the way it turns off... I would suspect the lamp might need replacing. Might be worth taking it out and seeing if its gone pop.

But the lamp replace led doesnt even turn on and the lamp until few days ago was working fine, very bright, i think something by mistake send the signal that the projector is too hot and it automatically shuts down but how can i fix it?

Search Edugeek for sanyo you will find posts relating to the thermal trip on the xe40 I think it is that may help you.

I looked at that post about the xe40, it shows like a button to press to reset the thermal switch, but i opened the case and i took the fan off and i clicked on that switch by side, nothing changes.I think is soemthing else, any ideas please?

Did you push down on the trip switch until you felt a very light click? This switch having tripped is almost always the problem for this symptom. Sometimes it trips because the lamp is faulty but very often it's due to a build up of dust, clean the fans and filters and try again. Good luck!

Yes i did, i clicked on that switch, still the same...what else can i check?

Had a similar thing, tried all sorts, in end returned under warranty, turned out to be a faulty bulb.
