Why is the Status Light on my Mitsubishi XL8U flashing red? My projector is still working but the status light flashes red.

All projectors run a self diagnosis when you press the power button. This does a kind of "pre flight check". If some component isn't working right then the projector won't fire up.

There's no mystery to these status lights. The answer to what they show is written in the manual. Sorry to be blunt, but if you had bothered to read your manual then you would know that red green flashing power light means that the lamp housing cover isn't closed properly. If it is the status light, then it means that the lamp has gone past its due time for replacement. I only know this because I read the bit in the manual just now about the Status Lights.

Probably the lamp

could be another bad lamp

if the power light blinks and the status light is off, check the lamp door. if the power light blinks and the status light is steady red or blinking green, you have a power supply/ballast issue. you may have to send it in for repair. try www.avsolutionsny.com.

The lamp has run out of its operating hours which is normally 3000 hrs. Replace the lamp and you will be alright.

i think ur sytem in stand by mode / pcb complaint related to microcontroller.

if the status light is flashing .5 seconds on and 2.5 seconds off - you need to replace the lamp cover correctly.
if the status light is flashing .5 seconds on and .5 seconds off in 2 - 6 cycles the error is: 2 cycles - the projector is overheated. Move the projector to a cooler location, or/and remove dust in the light path. 3 cycles - the power unit is not working correctly. 4 cycles - the fans are not working correctly 5 cycles - lamp fails to light. Wait a full minute and then turn on again.

Have they replaced bothof the STKs in TV?

Simply hold down the left and right arrow buttons along with the power button for 3 seconds and the unit will reset itself and come on.

your projector status means the protection circuit is working or the lamp is in an abnormal condition.
--wait until status indicator goes out and press power button.
---if the above solution is not working change the lamp.
