I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble turning on your Epson PowerLite 1770W Multimedia Projector. Here are a few suggestions you can try:

1. Check the power source: Ensure that the power cord is securely connected to both the projector and the power outlet. Try plugging the projector into a different outlet to see if that makes a difference. You can also try using a different power cord if available.
2. Reset the projector: To perform a complete reset, unplug the projector from the power source and disconnect any other cables connected to it. Leave it unplugged for at least 10-15 minutes to allow any residual power to dissipate. Then, plug the projector back in and try turning it on again.
3. Try a different power button: If the power button on the projector itself is not functioning, try using the power button on the remote control if you have one. Alternatively, check if there are any other buttons or switches on the projector that may serve as a power button.
4. Contact Epson support: If none of the above steps work, it's recommended to contact Epson customer support or a qualified projector technician for further assistance. They will have more specific knowledge about your projector model and can provide further guidance or arrange for a repair if needed.

Regarding the full lock issue and the remote controller, it's possible that the full lock setting may have affected the remote control functionality as well. If you can get the projector powered on, you can navigate through the menu settings to check and adjust the lock settings accordingly. If you don't have a remote controller, investing in one may be a good option as it can provide additional control options and potentially help with unlocking the projector.
Remember to prioritize your safety while troubleshooting. If you're unsure or uncomfortable performing any of these steps, it's best to seek professional help to avoid any further damage or injury.

If the bulb is under warranty then take it back.

Make sure the DVD is connected to the Projector and both are powered up.
Select the correct input Source at your projector by going to the menu of the projector.
After a couple of seconds, it should synch up.

it wasn't able to go through cooldown mode. turn it on, power down and let it go through cooldown. does the light come on at all?

90% that this is a bad psu !

had mine fixed today with used psu from ebay.
try to find a faulty pt-ae900 for a exchange psu !

60€ faulty projector + 60€ psu = 120€ for pt-ae900

hooray :)

cheers,

Hi bmosai

Yes you will have to replace the lamp.

The Projector will shut down and stay off as a safety feature.

the power supply needs to be replaced. it goes after a while in this model.

does the lamp try to fire up
check lamphouse and fan filter safety switches

I am currently struggling with this issue.
There is an easily-accessed fuse inside the projector.
I was very excited to discover this last night.
However, before you get you're hopes up (as I did) remember: If the fuse blew, something else probably went first. After buying and replacing the fuse today, I realise that I need to replace or repair the power supply as it pops the fuse every time.

Here's how to get to the fuse:
Take off the lamp.
Now, looking at the projector from the back, you need to remove the left hand side panel.
This involves taking out 2 screws from that panel, 2 from the bottom and the 2 video connector hexagonal bolt things that are also in that panel.
The panel sort of hinges off, starting from the bottom.
You will see the fuse in the bottom right corner where the power lead goes.
It is a slow-blow (time delay fuse) so get the exact same one to replace it. A pack of 10 cost me €4.19 in Maplin, Galway, Ireland.

Anyways, this did not do the job for me... the power supply set the fuses off like fireworks and also blew a few in the socket plug as well (I don't think US readers will have those)
I will let you know how I get on with the power unit....

Good luck to ye!
