Projector auto shut down

I have a vivitek qumi q2. It runs for about one minute and the turns off followed by a series of blinking lights on top, 3 blinks, pause, two blinks. It is getting warm so I think it may be a fan problem, but I'm not sure. Is there a way to find out what error this blink pattern indicates?

The blink pattern indicates the LED emitter is overheating.

How can I stop my Qumi Q5 shutting down after a minute?

It is most probably overheating. First you need to open up the unit and see if the fan moter is frozen. It is probably because you can't hear it spinning. There are usually two bushings one in the front and one at the rear of the motor. They are usually permentally lubricated but as we know nothing is forever. So, try to take some good quality oil like 3 in 1 and try to drip a drop on either side of the motor where the shaft comes out and then try spinning it by hand. Hopefully that may work but if not then as a last resort try spraying just a very small amount of WD-40 and try spinning it again. If it then does work then use the 3 in 1 again. WD-40 will probably clean the gum out of those bushings but it is not a proper lubricant so that is why you need to use that 3 in one or any good quality lubricant like gun oil.

If all else fails then you probably have a bad fan motor and it will have to be replaced. Just so you know I have had this same problem, usually with air conditioning fan motors and most of the time the lubrication method that I just described worked very well.

Good luck,

Marty

I hav e a vivitek 1080hd projector and it turns on for a couple of seconds then shuts off. it blinks a code of 62. 6 blue blinks of the power button then 2 red blinks of the ready button

That code indicates a fan-2 error. These projectors generate a lot of heat and depend on air circulation to keep everything cool. Make sure nothing is blocking the vents on the projector. Check the fan for lint and dust. Make sure fan spins freely and is operating correctly. Keep projector away from any other heat sources. Hope this helps.

Unplug the power cord from projector
--> HOLD down (keep holding down) the right key on the keypad (top of the projector) and Insert the power cord back to the projector
--> The "Power" and "Ready" LED light should blink TWICE and unplug the cord from the projector (while still holding down the right key)

Dell 1209S Projector, tries to turn on, and the fan comes on for 30 seconds and then goes off again. It tries this several times and then the light bulb icon comes off and it doesn't do antything else

Lamp is burned out or makes a popping sound.
When the lamp reaches its end of life, it may burn out and may make a loud popping sound.
If this occurs, the projector does not turn back on. To replace the lamp, see on page 38.
LAMP light is solid amber If the LAMP light is solid amber, replace the lamp.
LAMP light is blinking amber If the LAMP light and the Power light are blinking amber, the lamp driver has failed and the projector will automatically shut down.
If the LAMP light is blinking amber and Power light is solid blue, the color wheel has
failed and the projector will automatically shut down.

Source not found I am using an Acer Aspire One

Make sure you are using ports other than the USB port. Vivitek Service indicates that at least some of their projectors do not use the USB port for input. "The USB port is not in input port. This is used for service only. Please use another input port such as RGB input. Regards, Vivitek Customer Service

Hope this helps.

Projector screen displaying "Searching" message. Does not recognize computer. Worked with one of your associates (Guru?) and we tried a number of solutions but none worked. She asked that I come back to...

If you are connecting to a laptop then you may need to hold the function button down and press F1, F2, F3 etc. there should be a sign with the latop on there and a sign with an external device (monitor,PROJECOR)
hope this information was useful to you.
