My NEC v260x projector has a steady orange light, a green status light, and a red lamp light. All are steady (not blinking). I have replaced the lamp light housing. No changes. It will not power on at all.

steady orange means projector in standby mode
red light 6 times is a lamp error.
either the lamp is old and wont start up or the ballast power pcb is not working.
can you hear the sparking of the high voltage trying to strike the lamp.
if you can then the lamp may be dodgy.
can you borrow one to test it out

Your lamp module may be at the end of its life.

there should be a status for the lamp light; check to see if this one turns red. If it does count the consecutive blinks if it is 6 then replace the lamp

both lights flashing green indicate the projector lost power while it was running (didn't get to go through shutdown procedure). if the status light blinks 6 times, the lamp is failing to strike (one time means the cover is open, 2 times is a temperature issue, and 4 times is the fan). if it comes on and shuts off a short time later (less than 15 seconds), the ballast is going bad and needs replacing. if it didn't come on at all, it'd be either the ballast or the colorwheel. if the lamp light was red, it would be the lamp that needs replacing. nec won't sell parts to anyone who is not an authorized nec service center, so you'd need to contact one to get the part (although they may not sell it to you). but good luck!

Hello. First check the lamp! From your description, it sounds like the projector is telling you that the lamp needs to be replaced. In "eco mode", when the power is green and the status is steady orange, that is the error message. In "high brightness mode" the status will be steady red. Hope I helped you.

Reset the lamp and try it.

try pressing and holding the enter button on the projector for about 30 seconds - this resets it. It worked for me!!

Try pressing the HELP button. Don't release and press the power button. The LED lights should blink. Release then try to power on again.
