Need asistent please help me, I have LCD projc sony VPL-EX3 but the lamp can't be to live please tell me what can I and how to reset to do this, thanks alots bofore

There is a small switch that detects when the lamp cover is securely tightened down, so that it protects the user from the high voltages, hot surfaces, excessive bright light in the eyes, and damage to the face if the lamp implodes due to old age and overuse.
so check if the switch operates when a toothpick is pushed up and down in the cavity.This model suffers this problem when the cover is slightly warped with old age.
so put a strip of folded paper between the cover plastic protusion that actuates the switch and the switch and secure the cover and see if this is all that is needed to activate the switch properly.

if it now works, you can try putting a small drop of silastic on the cover protusion and wait till it sets over several hours in order to lengthen it slightly so that it reaches the switch properly

Hi,
DO the following for resetting the lamp hour

Possible that the lamp is faulty -if the hours have elapsed- check the lamp holder, the fitments.
check also the filters, clean and reset.
Make sure the power supply Unit is not having any poor soldering or faulty components to reduce the voltage output to the lamp thus making it shut down..

you may have to reset the lamp hour meter to get it to work, put the projector on stanby and press the remote buttons, reset - back - forward - reset, (this is the code for a vpl hs20 projector it may be slighty different for your model)

Pressing the On/Off Key for 10 seconds switches on and off the projector.
While on, press the menu key for 10 secods to reset it to unlock.
