I guess you used factory reset, then picture flips back to table/ front mode.
In setting menu choose for ceiling ( R upside down icon) and set this to ON.

It sounds like it is overheating. Are the fans all working? If so, try opening the casing and blowing all the dust out with a can of air from Staples/Office Depot. If the fans aren't working you may need to replace them.

SOURCE: Remote won't turn on Eiki EIP-2500 projector

Try cleaning the IR port on the projector (and the remote itself). These can get enough of a dust layer build up that they can't "see" the infrared signal being sent.

Runco picture upside down

Yes possibly because you have done a complete system reset and not a lamp hour reset so you will need to go into image or screen settings and select front view ceiling mount configuration

I want to attach a Vivitek 650HD projector to a ceiling mount, but am not sure if I mount it upside down. There doesn't seem to be a "flip" function to flip the picture.

I am 99% sure most projectors are mounted upside down. There should be a way to simply flip the image electronically via the option menu.

In most projector OCD menu (keep in mind you may want to do this before mounting), under the "Installation" or "Initial Installation" section should be an option about Projection mode/method. The options should allow you to pick front, rear, ceiling, or ceiling+rear. This sets the project to know when it will be in front of the screen, behind it, and/or attached to the ceiling (which it knows will be upside down). Then you simply set it to ceiling, mount the projector, and finish your other adjustments as needed.

How can i flip the screen up side down on the projecter

Go to Menu> Extended> Projection> select Front ( to project from the front of the screen ).Front/Ceiling ( If the projector is mounted upside-down from the ceiling ). Rear ( to project from behind onto a transparent screen ).Rear/Ceiling ( to project from behind when the projector is mounted upside-down from the ceiling ).
Or you can hold down the [A/V Mute] button for about 5 seconds to change the projection setup from Front to Front/ceiling or Rear to Rear/Ceiling.

Upside down image

These projectors are designed to be mounted upside down. Think of a projector that is ceiling mounted in a classroom. Change this setting in Menu - Advanced Menu - Setup - Mirror.

Image upside down

I'm on this site because my projector is down after swithcing out the bulb or I could jot down the exact steps for you. It's a very easy fix. When you push the menu button on your projector to get into settings, there is one that will allow you to flip the image. Sorry I can't be of more help

The optoma hd72 projector lamp goes out after 30 seconds.. the big game is this weekend... what can I do?

I had this exact same problem. I have changed bulbs gotten 1000 or so hours from new bulb, changed the lamp driver and gotten about 600 more hours from new lamp driver. New lamp cost me $350, lamp driver cost me $120. Then I read on a page to try and flip it right side up, because I had it ceiling mounted upside down. I flipped it right side up and it works perfectly and has been working perfectly for 2 months now. I know it sounds stupid, but it actually worked for me, and it costs you nothing to try it. For some reason, gravity effects this unit.

HD72I WORKS FOR 30SECONDS AND THEN SWITCHES OFF

I had the same problem with very few hours on the lamp. Sent it back to the factory and they said the fan was overheating causing the bulb to shut down. They replaced the fan and the bulb for free under warranty. I noticed before I sent it the projector was putting out an incredible amount of heat. MUCH better after fan replacement.

My toshiba data projector has somehow had the words and menus turned upside-down and backwards. I do not know what I pushed or selected to do this, but I have no idea how to get it back, please help me.

Greetings,
This is actually a feature. Most projectors, when mounted on a ceiling are turned upside down. You want to go into the menu and look for view. Then look for Vertical flip and Horizantal flip and make sure that they both say off. Let me know if you have any more questions.
-Take Care,
