This says your fix is to take it to a service centre. It sounds like you have a power board issue.

yes it could be the ballast if the lamp is for sure a working lamp.

I'd recommend checking the fans of the projector, and make sure that they're spinning. Since you've mentioned that the lamp blew inside the unit, bits and pieces of the lamp might have lodged itself within the fans. It might also have to do w/ the after-market replacement bulb, which I normally wouldn't recommend.

It could be the lamp life needs resetting or the filter life needs resetting. Hopefully so, otherwise it could be a faulty lamp module.

Good luck

hi,
All projectors have self dioganisng function. If there is any malfuction inside the projector it will indicated by the LED blinking. You have to inspect how many time the LED blinks or which LED lights condinuosly. LED meas the power light or the lamp light. Then only anybody can suggest you a better solution.
ok

It is the bulb 6 red flashing is a lamp problem. Replace it.

if it's under 1 year old, it's still under warranty, so send it in and get it fixed for free.

Pretty typical for lamp life. Buy a new bulb (not the whole lamp assy) from us (sedonix.com) or one of the many bulb sources on the net, install it yourself and save a lot.
