Yamaha LPX 500 home cinema projector isn't lighting up

My yamaha LPX 500 projector is turning on (green light comes on) then after a short time the system switches to red and turns off. I replaced the lamp about a year and 1/2 ago. I also cleaned the filter. What else should I do before calling a repairman?

    i have had the same problem and at first i changed the vent thinking that it was overheating

    HOWEVER

    when this problem occurs the projector tells me via its light notifiers that the lense cap is on when that is clearly not the case

    i found that if you take the bulb out and place it carefully back in then it will reset all of the sensors and you should be good until the next time it happens

    its a short term fix but it does work

The reason for a red light is replacement of lamp or it is running too hot. Have you checked for proper venting, and cleaned them recently. The bulb usually lasts 2000 hours, so you may need another.

Morning, it flashes red light six times

From the manual:

Press the (ON/STANDBY) switch to turn on the projector. If
the power is not turned on, disconnect the AC power cord, then
confirm the ON/STANDBY lamp is turned off. After about 10
seconds, reconnect the AC power cord and turn on the power
again. If the indicators still light up, the electrical system has a
problem. Consult with qualified Sony personnel.

My YAMAHA LPX-500 projectors start up logo remains faintly visible constantly during operation-any answers?

Hello sounds like you have the logo screen burned into one of your LCD panels. This will be a very expensive repair, seen as the LPX-500 is only an 800 lumen projector, it would be a good time to look for a replacement. I would not recommend spending any money on this unit.
Hope this helps

Projector fails to turn on

check your lamp. if it has bulges, black spots or fogging, replace it. otherwise, its your power supply/ballast.

Yamaha LPX 510

Welcome to the disapointing world of LCD projection. Your blue device is dying and thus allowing the green to come through instead of combining for white. I suggest buying a dlp product they are immune to this color decay problem. Good luck

Does not display the color blue?

Hi,

lamp replacement will not solve your problem. The problem is with the main board or RGB Panels.
