Epson Projector Colour Issue

[BlueNine]

We've got a whole suite of Epson EB-470's, 1 is no longer showing the colour red but is instead showing it as black. We've tried replacing the HDMI cable/VGA cable, bulb, new laptop everything except the projector itself. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The epson projectors use triple LCDs for each of the colours. I'd assume a hardware issue has killed the red LCD and that projector is for the dump. https://www.avpartsmaster.co.uk/RepairForm.aspx These guys have repaired a few of our projectors. The projector is only worth a £200 but would cost £1000 to replace...

 

avpartmaster will charge to diagnose but you get that towards the repair if you go ahead. last 2 repairs cost me 180 ish

 

edit spelling..

Have you checked the warranty status? Epsom are usually 5 year for education.

Yeah they expired February 2019

Bad luck. The only time I've had to use an Epson warranty it was 3 days inside the end of the warranty.

Have you tried using the "reset all" option in the menu?

 

There are settings for the colour balance and for the background colour (like if you want to project on to a blackboard or painted wall).

 

I'd also test with an HDMI source if you've not done that. This is a common issue with VGA cables. Also plugging directly into the back of the projector.
