Lamp/cover button blinking red, how can I solve my Sony projector?
The blinking red lamp/cover button on your Sony projector typically indicates an issue with the lamp or the projector's internal temperature. Here are a few steps you can take to try to resolve the issue:
- Check the lamp cover: Make sure that the lamp cover is properly closed and secured. If the cover is not properly closed, the projector may not turn on or may turn off after a short time.
- Check the lamp: If the lamp cover is properly closed, the next step is to check the lamp itself. Remove the lamp and check it for any visible signs of damage, such as cracks or discoloration. If the lamp appears to be in good condition, try reseating it to ensure it is properly installed. If you have access to a replacement lamp, try installing it to see if the problem is resolved.
- Check the projector's air vents: Ensure that the projector's air vents are not blocked or obstructed, as this can cause the projector to overheat and shut down. Make sure that the projector is placed in a well-ventilated area.
- Reset the projector: Try resetting the projector by turning it off and unplugging it from the power source for several minutes. Then, plug it back in and try turning it on again.
- Consult the user manual: If none of the above steps solve the issue, consult the user manual for your Sony projector for further troubleshooting steps or contact Sony's customer support for further assistance.
If the issue persists, it may indicate a more serious internal problem with the projector that may require professional repair.
Sony projector vpl-ex145 light ok, but no lable information
If your Sony projector (model VPL-EX145) has a light that is functioning properly but is not displaying any label information, there could be a few different issues causing the problem. Here are a few things you can try to troubleshoot the issue:
- Check the projector's connections: Make sure the projector is properly connected to the computer or device that is sending the video signal, and that the connections are secure. If the projector is not properly connected or the connections are loose, it can cause the projector to display a blank screen.
- Check the projector's settings: Make sure the projector's settings are properly configured for the type of video signal you are using. If the settings are not correctly configured, it can cause the projector to display a blank screen.
- Check the source device: Make sure the device that is sending the video signal (such as a computer or DVD player) is functioning properly and that it is properly configured. If the device is not functioning properly or is not properly configured, it can cause the projector to display a blank screen.
- Check for any other visible issues: Inspect the projector and its components for any visible issues that may be causing the problem. This can include debris or foreign objects that may have gotten stuck in the projector, or damage to the projector or its components.
If you have tried these troubleshooting steps and the problem persists, it may be necessary to have the projector serviced by a professional. A technician will be able to diagnose the problem and determine the necessary repairs.
Printing only bottom half of picture.
I had the exact same issue with mine! I didn't manage to fix it, but I know exactly what the issue is. If you open the printer, you'll find a black rectangular box above where the film fits inside the printer. This black box is connected to the board above it, and is supposed to press down against the film, and then against the paper for it to print properly. There is a little bar above the rectangular box, and there should be two plastic pieces on both ends of this bar. The bar is also connected to the gears, and when the gears move the bar, the two plastic pieces coming off of the bar push the black box down. When I looked at mine, only one of the plastic pieces was doing its job; the other one was broken, and was sliding on the bar. Tried some super glue, wouldn't work. I suggest tossing it out like I did, unless it's still under warranty or you want to try fixing the plastic piece so the printer head gets pressed down all the way.
Touch screen not working for sony snaplab up-CR20l
Hi,
Please turn off your device, clean the screen and power on the device before using it again. Otherwise, you might verify that you're using the device in an environment of moderate temperature. If still not working, then you might need to run a factory reset on the device.
Thank you.
"Frequency is out of range"
Most likely your PC or laptop is currently set to a display resolution that is too high for the projector or is one that it cannot handle. Try setting your computer display to 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 and see if you can get the projector to work. If it does, then you can figure out the maximum display resolution you can use. Also consult your projector documentation for supported resolution modes.
Horizontal Green Lines!
Hi Tim
I've seen this many times. Only way to get rid of it is to replace the Mainboard.
This will get worse as time goes by.
I have 3 blinking red lights on my Sony SXRD TV?
Very easy answer! Your door is not seated all of the way. I assume you resolved it by now, but anyone else who searches this issue may need this advice. The doors warp as they age so it may seem seated when it is not. The TV will not turn on without the door fully installed.
