NEC M230X stuck in Standby/Powersaving mode

[Ripleys]

Hi Guys,

 

I have a very odd problem and I am unable to resolve it.

 

We have an NEC M230X projector in one of our classrooms. According to the manual it is stuck in standby/power saving mode. I have tried plugging into the PC Control port, however, the projector cannot be recognised because it is in standby/power saving mode. I have tried connecting the VGA into Computer 1 IN and reboot the computer to send signals to the projector. This does not work either. Why have this feature if nothing can be done to turn it back on.

 

Is there anyway I can factory reset this projector without having to turn it on?

 

Cheers

Try pressing the Off or Help button on the remote and holding it for 10-15 seconds. This should reset the lamp time clock back to zero, which should fix the issue.

Hi Chris,

 

This didn't work. I believe it's because it is stuck in power saving mode. Such a useless feature. I don't know who enabled it or why they did.

Did you ever fix this. I have the same problem with one.

Can you just pull the power cable out to reboot?

No just goes back to solid red light on the power button

Try pulling the power cable out of the back, and hold the menu button actually on the projector for 15~ seconds or so when plugging back in.

I did not. In the end I had to downgrade the board/projector with a Sanyo XE40.

 

I did ring NEC about it but all they said is "send it to us" which we do not have the green to do.
