Sanyo XE-40 Projector

[DarthMaul]

I've been doing some searching and have not been fruitful in my journey across the internet. But a lot of my searching has ended on this website, so I made an account, nice to meet you. Fellow nerd...

 

I have a Sanyo XE-40 Projector, after turning it on, the power light goes green for a few seconds, then the warning light goes red and nothing more after that. I've checked the thermal switch and the bulb, they are fine. Is it trashed?

 

Thanx y'all

Have you checked the User Manual?

 

There's an online copy posted here: http://www.aboutprojectors.com/pdf/sanyo-plc-xe40-manual.pdf

 

Page 53 of the PDF has details about the warning light..

Thanx for your quick response. Yeah, I read that.. I could almost write that manual... I was just wandering if there was a fix for that. "Projector detects an abnormal condition" What the heck?? Does anybody know of a service manual? I'd hate to throw the thing away

The cooling fans spinning? re - Sanyo Xtracx PLC-XE40 Projector: When powering on the green - FixYa

The fans are plugged in. But one of them (the one on the front) isn't spinning. I left it on for a while to see if it would start, it did not. Then I pulled the fan out of another one (I have one that a kid knocked down off the pole that doesn't work, yeah, I work in one of those kind of schools..) that I pulled that fan out of, it doesn't spin either. I bet the mobo bit the dust..

 

Thanx for your help folks. But I threw her on the parts shelf. I give up, and I have other stuff that needs fixed..
