Projector sharp dt100 not working!

Oddly enough, same day, same problem. Dec. 22, about 10 PM our DT-100 stopped working. Same deal (shut down without warning right during projection). Now when the projector is powered on the lamp attempts to light, which it doesn't, so the lamp LED blinks (green) while it tries to warm up. The LED goes solid for a second and then starts blinking greeen again. This happens about twice before the unit shuts down, illuminating both the lamp and power LEDs (red). I tried resetting the bi-metallic fuse (breaker), but it wasn't tripped. This is when I realized we had a problem. Like this other problem, we have around 800 hrs on our lamp(not even close to 1/3 the spec life of the lamp). Any help would be appreciated. I don't really want to drop over $300 for a new lamp only to find out that doesn't fix it.

Thanks so much.

I had this problem around 400 hours of bulb life on a brand new DT-100. Blinking green, solid green, blinking green, solid green, and eventually red. This happened after I took the projector on a vacation with me; when I came back, it worked for a day and then started doing the flashing LEDs. I replaced the bulb, and the projector started working again...for a while. After 3 weeks with a new bulb, the projector is suddenly refusing to even light up any LEDs or turn on its fan. I have to wonder if the early dying bulb is symptomatic of something else wrong with the projector.


Where's the breaker located? I couldn't find any reference to it in the manual, but it sounds like a likely cause for my current problem.

We have had the same problem not even 300hrs before 1 year old so they pro rated bulb as you know they cost 400-500$.so new bulb and again a little over 300hrs and poof the bulb blows up.Same thing going on with the light blinking,solid,etc.It has been in the shop again and SHARP hasn't been much help.It was mentioned to me from a TV repair shop that it could most definently be the ballister,but the only way it can be check is with a new bulb.Well, im tired of buy bulbs they are costing more than the unit.I could understand if the buld at least got 2000 hrs.This is the 3rd bulb.So like i said the ballister .Well im still trying to get sharp to replace or pro rate the bulb .Hope we all find out whats going on.I had to go buy another big TV to hard to watch something so small when you a a projector.LOL
Hope someone has some input,
