I would not stick a filter in there, there is the potential for it to get sucked into the fans and cause more issues because there is no good way to secure it. The best thing to do would be regular cleanings every year or so!

@jaspertronics Thank you so much i can't Thank you enough for your advice.

The old bulb had gone out, that is really the only reason to change out a bulb is when the old bulb fails or gets over hours. Lamps will dim to a certain degree when in long term usage and sometimes the dimness can be annoying, that would be another reason to change out the lamp.

I have another big video planned for these 4k Sony units, thank you for your support!

HI, I would replace the full lamp and housing on this, you can find the replacement instructions on page 118: bizpartner.panasonic.net/public/system/files/files/fields/field_file/psd/2022/07/21/vz580_manual_en_1658441929.6982.pdf Here is a link to the lamp: www.jaspertronics.com/products/pt-vz580-lamp

@@jaspertronics I noticed that some places were selling the lamp cheaper, does the link you have sent have the housing and the bulb?

@@jpmcfeely We have the best prices on the original bulb for these units. The link sent is the housing and bulb, what were you looking at? There is a good chance you are looking at an aftermarket bulb.

Hello, there are a number of things that can cause the image to lack in clarity. One of these things is the lamp, when was the last time your changed the lamp? Replacing the lens on these can be a very advanced repair and requires you to tear down the light engine itself.

With any luck, it is just the fan. Let us know how the repair goes!

That is no good, can you send me an image of this so I can take a closer look? You can send the image to dalton.ikenberry@jaspertronics.com

You likely need to go in and reset the lamp timer on your unit to get this to stop. You can find instructions here: www.projectorcentral.com/pdf/projector_manual_8398.pdf The information starts on page 123.

Glad I could help!

You can't really clean this unit out without a technician or knowledge of how to tear down the unit. You can try and vacuum behind the filter and inside the lamp compartment but this really will not do much. I do not recommend using air duster unless the unit is fully torn down. You run the risk of blowing the dust further into the unit. If your unit is starting to build up with dust inside we can help with our projector cleaning service. Feel free to reach out for more information!

Good question! An external fan will not do much to help. The best thing that you can do is make sure the fans that are part of the cooling system are well cleaned and maintained. If you are having issues with your unit, we also offer projector repair services!

If you have any issues at all feel free to email me direct at dalton.ikenberry@jaspertronics.com, thank you again!

Not a problem, did you replace the filter as well?

Epson does not make light bulbs. The lamps are made by Osram.

@@jaspertronics thanks. I was confused because I had bought a replacement lamp years ago and I still have the box and it says Epson on it so I just assumed they made it

The PRO EX9210 is a similar unit with the same lamp and could have the same issues.

Literally wondering the same

@@saulvacaperez6925 yes both units should be the same for replacing the lamp.

yes, both units should be the same.

Yes with something like this it could be a number of issues. It could be something as simple as the unit needing a deep cleaning. This is a service we offer and you can find our more information here: www.jaspertronics.com/blogs/news/jaspertronics-projector-repair-services

For what you are describing the dust is likely on the 3LCD and this would require you to open up the unit to fix this.

The projector lens can only be removed after taking out the main board and tearing down the light path. I do not recommend doing this without any technical experience.

@@jaspertronics what can i do if my lense got burned and i have a donor 5k that i can swap put the parts for?

I am terribly sorry about the issues that you had. All of these housings have been poured from the same mold for the last 10 years or more. This is because the TVs were discontinued over 10 years ago. The lamps have never been produced by Mitsubishi, they have always been produced by Osram. That is one of the main reasons you can still get the lamp. These TVs do have a few known issues and flaws. The big one is that there is no air filter on these units to keep dust out. Over the years this dust will build up on the inside of your unit. This is not your fault and more of a design flaw. This will cause the TV to start to overheat and this can and has warped the bulb compartment of the TVs. By 1-2mm, nothing that can be seen by the naked eye but still enough to cause fit issues. We have found that this is the major cause of these fit issues. Luckily only a handful of people are effected by this but it is becoming more and more common. I am glad you were able to get everything resolved and thank you again!

The bulb for the Epson 8350 can be found at the link below! www.jaspertronics.com/products/home-cinema-8350-lamp

You can clean them with water but it is far safer and easier to clean it every so often with canned air and do regular replacements. The filter material will degrade over time and they do need to be fully replaced. There is a link to our site were we sell bulbs in the description as well as a discount code. Thank you again!

The best way to improve the cooling is going to be frequent cleanings. Unfortunately any unit that has a DMD chip inside can have the issue you describe. If you are getting white pixels on your screen then it is very likely the DMD.

Yes, the cinema filter motor is starting to go out and will need to be replaced soon. This is a very common issue in Epson 8350s. This is something we can help with. You can reach out to our team at 888-391-5596, ext. 904. We can help you setup service options with us to get this sent in.

Thanks so much, I will reach out soon. I think my replacement lamp that I ordered from you comes tomorrow, so glad I found you!@@jaspertronics

Thank you for your comment! While we do try to cover all steps very clearly, this was a donor unit that had missing parts and the screws on the lamp cover door were some of those items. There are 2 screw holes on the lamp cover door that do need to be removed and 2 more to unsecure the lamp.

I have seen a few of these with a little plastic cover that also covers up the bulb in addition to the lamp cover door.

It would be possible to do yes, but please note that not all Epson units that take the ELPLP96 are the same. They all have their own unique differences and they do not all open up the same way.

The connector should be connected to two wires that run to the bulb. At the bulb side the wires should disconnect from their leads with a straight slow and steady pull. There is a pressure created to keep them together by the design of the folds in the metal of the connector. Steady straight pressure to disconnect is all it takes! Thank you for reaching out to Jaspertronics!

​@@jaspertronics Oh, thanks I have to look again. Didn't realize that there were screw and nut/bolt, since on the video mark 2:05 you only reattach the connectors so I only assume that you only pull and push. I believe the pull is not enough, maybe use little help with screwdriver next to lamp so the connector comes of like this video at 3:00 mark ruclips.net/video/Jsd64G8geP8/видео.html. It worked.

@@spaguman Apologies! The initial reply was for a similar model, but incorrect. Please check the edited response above!

@@jaspertronics No problem! Thanks again.

I am so glad to hear this! If you have any other issues, please feel free to reach out to me!

It is certainly possible to change out the fans so long as the connectors are the same and all of the specs line up. I however would stick with the original fans just for the sake of compatibility.

Did you reset the lamp timer after you changed out your bulb?

@@jaspertronics thanks for that reminder !

Thank you for taking a look!

Hello John, thank you for your comment! To answer your question, yes, the bulbs to degrade over time. While the only way to get a solid understanding of how much your bulb may have degraded over time is to use a lux meter and to have had an initial test when it was first installed. However, you can assume that once it has hit the 'recommended' hours you have lost essential brightness and brilliance. We typically recommend to replace the lamps when your projector has reached the suggested number of hours, but to hold that lamp as a temporary backup should your projector fail unexpectedly in the future.

We recommend using a can of compressed air and blowing the dust away from the lens. As for the tear down it really all depends on how much dust has built up on the internals. With this unit it was very clean but some units may need the motherboard to be removed to get to everything.

Yes it is very easy. Just lift the old bulb and housing out after loosening the screws. The next step would be to simply put the new bulb and housing in! Make sure to give us a like and subscribe and thanks again!

@@jaspertronics Thanks. So I would have to replace the bulb AND the housing. I can't simply replace the bulb itself, right?

did you figure this out?@@bz7981

Wow! 8,000 hours and no noticeable dimness is pretty crazy. When you say you are going into "safe mode" do you mean that the error light indicators are kicking on? If so what are the lights doing? That will get us to the root of the problem.

@@jaspertronics I power up the projector 30 seconds to a minute later the screen go's black and the Red Bulb light comes on. This happened about a month ago I cleaned it with air and it worked for about a month. I'm thinking it's a Bad Temperature sensor or the projector can read the hours on the bulb and thinks it's done.

Thank you so much for your support!
