ICT_GUY Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I have a problem with one of these. I have put in two different bulbs, one brand new. The unit switches on then turns itself off after 5 seconds with the red warning light lit (along with the replace bulb light). It is a dead projector?
PEO Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 (edited) Have you reset the bulb life counter? also have you cleaned the filters? Edited January 31, 2008 by MrHappy
ICT_GUY Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 Cant get as far as the reset, it never lights up. Filters were cleaned this week. Manual says contact support contractor.
PEO Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 yeh just been looking through the manual. Google is not bringing anything up.. who sold you the projector?
StuartC Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 contact your reseller. I know we at Promethean have supplied SW35s so it might be us, but it sounds like a service/firmware update might be called for.
ICT_GUY Posted January 31, 2008 Author Posted January 31, 2008 Its a promethean supplied projector. Unfortunately the warranty is up, to renew the warranty is exactly £100 more than a replacement projector. As you say Mr M, The manual is no help and I had the same result with the googling.
PEO Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 we had a similar problem were the projector was cutting out because the heating that blows hot air out was directly above it. turned that off and its worked fine since then. you dont have anything like that do you?
sahmeepee Posted January 31, 2008 Posted January 31, 2008 I think there might be a recessed switch on them (paperclip time). The older ones certainly have it. If you hold that in while starting up (you may have to keep it pressed) the thing won't turn off so you can reset the timer. 1

I thought there might be, so now I will be standing on a desk sticking a paper clip in a mains powered projector, what could go wrong? Expect to read about me on fark.
StuartC Posted February 4, 2008 Posted February 4, 2008 I think the only thing left is a service, or a new projector. It depends which makes more financial sense to you. I have 1 silly suggestion you can try if you're really desperate, put it in a really cold room for an hour, and give it another go. Could be a problem with the temperature monitors.
