Great job Frank. That connector is crazy lose. It will be upside down as well, which won't help with the issue. Zip tie is not a good idea, it can melt. Maybe some of that silicon wire, or fiberglass insulation wire. I have picked up an older JVC DLA-X500R for $60, The lamp does not turn on at all. Most likely a ballast issue.
Excellent job Frank, just had to do the same to mine. My only problem after putting it back together is now my control panel or indicator lights are not working. I’m guessing maybe a problem with that ribbon cable. Any suggestions? Thanks
You probably don't have the ribbon cable seated all the way or it slipped. The only thing to do it open it back up and check. If the remote works, then you know for sure. Sometimes it takes 3-4 taking it apart and putting it back together to get it working. After you reseat the cable, try it out before putting the case screws back in. A fake repair rule I have is " if you put the case screws in before testing, it will never work." But if you test it before putting the case screws in, it will work everytime!
I had a customer who had this problem, luckily io had a spare ballast cable which I sent to him along with a new lamp cable. He had fitted the lamp cable wrong way around. We managed to get it fixed in the end. I have stripped these in the past and not impressed at all as I put it back together.
Hi Frank .. i have a optoma uhd52alv and it is starting up to the logo and then a faded white screen and then keeps redoing the same thing over and over. Any ideea what the issue may be . I open up the unit cleaan all the fans and everything works .Great video.Thank you sir !
oof. that could be pretty bad. Something is causing it to reboot without fully starting. I am not really sure what the failure here is but I suspect its thermal related. These were not designed all that well(the whole UHD series is a known nightmare) when it comes to thermal management. This is purely a guess but I would expect either bad BGA solder connections(reflowing needed) or a bad chip or 2. Its possible a surface mount cap went short too but again, its kind of hard to say. This isn't a simple diagnosis when you have the OS rebooting without reason or intention. A replacement of the mainboard may fix it but that is kind of a shotgun fix and it wont be cheap. I'd guess a mainboard would be in the $600+ range currently if you can even find one. To repair something like this, an experienced component level diagnosis is needed. Its not something the average person can diagnose.
Hi Frank, we need help with a viewsonic px-700hd can’t find a color wheel for it and after watching a few of your vids we dbl checked and the color wheel kinda sputters, moves slowly and stops? We replaced lamp and housing but it may have been the color wheel? Bc we still hvnt been able to use it and it was purchased sept of 2021 no problem until it started dimming then didn’t turn on the next day? No info out there specifically about this projector and it’s our first. Sad
Thank you so much! Love the projector and it is our first one. Unfortunately there’s very lil help with these and they seem to be gaining in popularity. No parts numbers came back in a search query on viewsonics page, no clue what we are doing obviously. Husband is a seriously skilled fix it yourself guy but this projector has been down since we changed the bulb:( Thank you for the great videos you have or we would really be up the creek!!!☺️
buenos dias. tengo un optoma 1070xe que al intentar encenderlo se queda con el boton en azul parpadeando y se enciende el ventilador como cuando se apaga... No hace nada mas. muchas gracias de antemano.
hi, i have an optoma uhd 51 projector i cant figure out why it splits the image! Basically if i connect it to the 2k asus rog laptop with rtx 4080 the laptop only works in full hd at 120hz perfectly if i set 2k or 4k the image splits in two parts! honestly i thought it was a laptop problem since it is a 2k so i thought it was a good idea to connect it to the desktop pc with rtx 4090 and unfortunately it does the same trick on me. i use both high quality hdmi 2.1 and hdmi 2.0 cables but it only works in full hd. some time ago i dont know how i did it by connecting it to the desktop it was set to 4k at 60hz and i played quietly. come and solve the problem?

What do you think about Optoma's design screw up here? Relying on the end user to make sure their plug is installed the right way... Lol, oh Optoma...

Try the folks i use. gydz@timeprojectorlamp.com is the email. Send a picture of the old wheel and the model number and they should be able to help.
