EP 757 Intermittent powering down

Hi,
I've got an Optoma EP757 projector that works fine for about 10 mins then just seems to automatically switch the lamp off & power down. There are no warning lights flashing or anything and if I restart its fine again for about 10 mins and does it again. Any help appreciated.

Regards.

    I have a EP 757 also and have the same problem after about 20 min. a mesage apears "Over tempeture shuting down" I sent it in to optoma an they wanted to change out the DMD Board and change out the Lamp for $850. I declined the repair, the image is fine!!. Can a lamp that has a hundered or so hours on it run hotter ? Lamps are around $300 so I would like to know Before spending that much, any sugetions?

    I have the same problem but I can extend the watch to time to about 90
    minutes if I crank up the AC and cool down the room. This problem
    didn't kick in until I had the projector for about 1 year (intermittent
    use - probably about 100 hours). I've tried blasting the unit with compressed air but no luck. Should I open the unit up? What should I look for when I do (specific instructions please).

Pls check if the lamp is not so old that is giving the same problem. If lamp is almost new, then you can have a check with the Ballast unit card and then the loose connection in the Power supply or may be overheating and tripping.

Check fan bearings/speed and airflow for restrictions like dust.

Optoma EP757 displays green image when input connected. Initial splash screen displays fine. All colours are the way it should be but as soon as a video source is connected, it displays the image in...

I would suggest replacing the type of cable you are using. Changing the type of connection, such as S-Video or VGA or something other than what you are using, may resolve this issue as well. Because the splash screen comes up normal, this tells us that the issues lies not with the device but with whatever it is you are connecting it to. Comment back if this does not resolve the issue and we can move further.

Good Luck,

Cooling fan problem projector

I have a similar issue though mine isn't quite as extreme as yours. Got a couple things you can do.

1. clean out the projector with compressed air. You might have dust building up on components that is trapping heat.

2. Your fan might be burning out. Needs to be replaced. I'm still working on trying to figure out what tipe of fan it needs.

3. The temperature sensor might be going bad. This one is less likely and most complex to solve as it depends on how the system measures the temp. I haven't checked in detail yet.

4. Replace the whole unit or send it in for repair. Both options will be costly...

Optoma EP 738

You can test the power source if you are getting any power input from the power cord itself. Plug in your power cord and use an eletronic meter on the other end to see if you are getting the proper voltage (110/120) reading. If not, then the power cable is bad in itself. IF you are getting power from your cord, it could also be a fuse inside the Optoma and/or where the power plug on the Optoma meets the actual power source is out of alignment or may also be not making the proper contact to the main circuit board on the Optoma. Hope it helps....JGUAM
