Sharp XR-10X/XR-10S - CAN'T FIND THE RESET BUTTON
Hi, I just opened my Sharp xr-10x DLP projector today, which had no
power, no lights, no functions. A previous post worked for me...Remove
the 6 screws on the bottom of the unit (you'll need a longer phillips)
and the two screws on the back, toward the top of the unit. Obviously,
be sure to keep these handy for reassembly (I have two curious dogs and
a 4 year old to contend with). Then, to remove the housing...use a std
screwdriver and slightly pry the cover off from the rear of the unit.
This should losen allowing you to pivot the cover forward and then off
from the projector lens. If you need to reset your unit, the reset
button is near the lamp, not the lens (to the side of the lens). It is
a small red button--depress this. Next, you can connect the ac cord
and try powering up the unit. For me, I got a blinking red light but
could not power up the unit. I then opened up the lamp compartment on
the bottom of the unit (2 srcews) and remove the lamp. Next reconnect
the lamp...when doing so, make sure the two prongs fit the lamp--this
is the power supply. Then replace the lamp cover and retest the unit.
At this point, my projector powered up as it used to. Finally replace
the projector cover...from the lens then backward. Tighten all screws
and you, hopefully will be ready to use the projector again.
Keep
in mind, your problem may be the need for a replacement fuse or lamp.
The fuse should be available at an electric supply shop or a Radio
Shack store. I have seen replacement lamps for $190-$275 available
online.
Good Luck...Hope this helps you out. As I said, I just
completed this process myself today and am happy to have avoided the
shipping costs and $65 diagnostic fee + labor and parts to have Sharp
repair this. We are looking forward to 'movie night' on the 8' screen
tonight! Hopefully, you'll be enjoying your projector soon!
Solved my own problem with help from a previous post from 'fixya'
