Hello Jennifer, I must understand that you speak of a video projector, to locate where the fan is, you would have to tell me, make and model, of your projector
Apart from cleaning the fan, you should also clean the dust filter, which is usually removed with a screw
Discuss what results you had with cleaning the filter and also comment on the make and model of the projector
I hope you can solve the problem
Greetings Franco Dosil

Hola Jennifer, debo entender que hablas de un proyector de v?deo, para ubicarte donde esta el ventilador, tendr?as que decirme, marca y modelo, de tu proyector
aparte de limpiar el ventilador, deber?as tambi?n, limpiar el filtro para el polvo, que por lo general, se retira con un tornillo
Comenta que resultados tuviste con la limpieza del filtro y tambi?n comenta marca y modelo del proyector
espero que puedas solucionar el problema
Saludos Franco Dosil

Testimonial: "I have 50" Panasonic CinemaVison model number 50DL54J Everything I read says it only involves taking out a couple screws. But I don't see how that would be on my TV :( I replaced the lamp myself very easily!! I replaced it before it even needed to be replaced because I thought that was the problem. I know without a doubt it's overheating! The TV Runs Loud ( Fan wise ) So I'd like to be able to locate it and clean it before actually purchasing anew fan. I look forward to hearing more info on this."

    Well Jennifer, I can not find the service manual of your Panasonic, I suggest you to locate, where is the filter that you need to find for cleaning, that you wear the TV, lower the volume and try to hear the noise generated by the fan, in that sector will be the screws to remove the filter and clean it and replace it
    I hope this comment serves
    Greetings Franco
    Bien Jennifer, no logro encontrar el manual de servicio de tu Panasonic, te sugiero para ubicarte, donde esta el filtro que necesitas encontrar para su limpieza, que prendas el televisor, bajes el volumen y trates de escuchar el ruido que genera el ventilador, en ese sector van a estar los tornillos para retirar el filtro y poder limpiarlo y o reemplazarlo
    espero que te sirva este comentario
    Saludos Franco

SOURCE: Trying to replace lamp fan

First let make sure it's the Lamp fan. What many people think is the fan, And by the way there are three fans in this model, What sound like a fan is in fact a color wheel. So listen to the set as it starts up, these Samsungs make certain sounds when they start. First after you hit the power button you get the "Samsung Tones" from the speakers, second ALL the Fans start 1 to 2 seconds later the color wheel starts then stabilizes, third you may here the lamp fire. So if the sound takes two to three seconds after you turn the set on it's the color wheel BP96-00250A Now when it shuts down its like this First the shutdown "Samsung Tones" then watching from the back after a few seconds the lamp will shut off, then the color wheel stops but all the other fans remain on for about 2 minutes. I've worked on thousands of these and in only one or two was the problem a fan. but on the other hand I have enoghf bad color wheels I was able to make a pertty inpressive Christmas decoration

hi, Why did you change the thermal fuse - specify the original problem, where the fans working before and need the correct model number before I can help you.
Model kdfe2000 is not listed anywhere.

This sounds like a case where jumping to a incorrect conclusion has not resulted in the fix your were after. The problem could also be related to the power supply. Before going for another part it is best to consult a Technician who works on these all the time and get a correct direction to go before ordering a lot more parts. if you check on the internet with the symptom and model /brand of your unit- chances are someone else has already had this problem and may have the solution there for you to take advantage of. Of course each TV is different but it might be a better way to proceed than just guessing.

My 7-yr-old sony wega keeps restarting; blinks 30 times then video comes back on

Two things here to suggest: one is lamp life is 2000 hours or two years average--and many lamps that fail will either dim just a bit, take a bit longer than did to come up to full brightness and the set may detect that and try to blank the screen.

I am saying a lamp even if lamp light does not come on may be the problem or not.

Second, and I have seen this a lot, the fans in the set intake air in the front of the unit and exhaust it out the rear and no matter how clean the house is dust will get pulled inside.

Fans and air-path's can get coated with dust. Especially the blades on the fans, if a fan slows down just a little because of dust on its blades the set will also detect it as it monitors fan speeds etc.

A good dusting out with compressed air (try not to blow the dust into the screen area) will either confirm this or eliminate it as the problem. I almost always do it in the garage or outside as it may look like a dust storm when you do it.

These are my thoughts and I hope they may help you resolve your problem.

Does kng america have a 1 yr warranty for this lamp?

This is the problem with cheap lamps--Generic they are called--the lamp itself may have melted some plastic in the set--set needs to be opened and examined for damage---most OEM lamps come with 1 year warranty--get what you pay for......


Is this by any wild chance a Sony set?

My tv comes on then says fan 2 error . were is the fan 2 so i can try to clean it and will it work if i do ?

Hello.
You can't clean fan, it is dead or almost dead it have to be replaced for the new one.
In order to determine which fan it is you have to remove TV's rear cover, locate lamp door switch ( it have blue plastic spring loaded lever) push it (otherwise TV will not turn on) and check which fan does not spin. Generally there are 3 fans - Ballast, lamp and DMD. DMD is the smallest one in size.
If you feel that this is too much to do - ask professional for help, repair should cost you around $200.
Regards.
Russ.

REPLACED LAMP BUT WILL NOT FIRE UP THE POWER IS ON AND THE FAN IS RUNNING.ALSO PRESSED THE RESET BUTTON

Hello :

Maybe you didn't do the right steps for replacing the bulb .

Here are the right steps , you can check where you did the mistake .

1:Make sure that your power switch is off and that the power cord is unplugged from the electrical socket.
It is also wise to unplug any other cables and label them in order to restore them in the right way once the lamp is replaced.

2:In order to see the lamp, remove the access handle on the outside cover. You may need to use a screwdriver.

3:Pull out the used lamp and clean the relevant parts using micro fiber products and not paper.
Please note that in some projectors a small inside filter should also be replaced.

4:Insert the new lamp into the projector carefully avoiding touching the glass of the lamp itself.
Touching the lamp will deposit skin oil that will likely damage any new lamp during use.

5:Reassemble the access panel, repluge the cables and power up the projector.


Things You'll Need:
1:new projector lamp .
2:screwdriver .
3:micro fiber duster.
Warning:
avoid touching the bare projector lamp .
good luck .

please rate !

If my lamp is out, would sound be present?

Check lamp cooling fan for dust blockage. It is located inside the back cover (10 screws) and is in a horizontal position above the lamp from the rear side. This is an air intake fan. The cooling fan you can see on the back panel is the exhaust fan that sucks out the hot air. A clue is hot or melt marks around the lamp housing.

If the lamp cooling fan is blocked you'll get red flashing diagnostics light flashing. It's trying to say clean me so I can keep the new lamp cool. Sony is silent on this in it's manuals. I'm guessing they don't care because is causes lot's of parts business!

I learned all this after replacement lamp burnt out after 1 week. My lamp cooling intake fan was found blocked and wasn't spinning. I saw the exhaust fan working and thought all was ok, not even knowing there were more fans. Some models even have another fan inside the optics blocker. I didn't take mine apart that far.

Hitachi #55VS69A

I had this same problem over the summer, I had my TV for two years before it went out. You need a new lamp. The lamp is not hard to replace on your own. However, you MUST make sure that you do not touch the lamp (the bulb part) in anyway. If you do your new lamp will not last as long. You can order the lamps online. They range anywhere from 150-300 dollars online. However, I found a TV repair company in my city that only charged me 100.00 for the lamp and they told me If I took out the box that holds the lamp they would replace the lamp for me. They also gave me a 1 yr warrantee on the lamp. All I had to do was un-screw the box from the back of the TV take the box to the TV repair company and I placed the box back into my TV. My TV works. While going through this process, I learned that these lamps go out all the time, the more you watch the TV the more often you'll replace the lamp. I was told from the repair company it could be as often as every year. The Lamp does have MURCURY in it so if you replace the lamp on your own be careful and have it recycled. If you live in SLC UT the repair company I went though was Village TV Sales and Service.

Mitsubishi WD-52327 52 in. Rear Projection DLP

I have a 2 year old Mitsubishi Rear Projection 52" model WD-52525. I recently experienced the same problem as you. My TV quit without any warning and the red lamp light came on. I bought a replacement lamp just like you did, did everything you did too, but it still didn't work either. Since it's past the 1 yr warranty (of course), I took it in to an authorized service center for an estimate. They determined the light engine failed and it will cost me $816.35 to repair. I already shelled out $240+ for a lamp, $48 for the repair estimate and I said "hell" no, I'm not going to fix it for another $800+ and bought a new TV. I'm writing a letter to Mitsubishi expressing my deep dissatisfaction (to put it mildly) with this faulty product and will be requesting reimbursement, which I probably won't get. I sincerely hope this is not the same problem your TV has, but if it is be prepared for a costly fix.
