PROJECTOR WAS WORKING; HEARD A ''POP'' NOTHING ON SCREEN; RED LAMP LIGHT CAME ON. HAD TO UNPLUG UNIT TO TURN IT OFF. SHARP XR20X OR XR10X/XR-10S multimedia projector

Hi Stephen,

Do you hear any fans starting when you turn on the projector? Try unplugging and then plugging in the projector. Make sure that the lamp door is secured as the projector will not start if it is loose. You should also reset the timer for your projector. The manual can be found on the site of www.allprojectorlamps.com.

the xr20lp is 275W, 2300 lumens
the xr10lp is 220W, 2000 lumens
see spec at
http://www.sharp-world.com/products/data_projector/xr20xs/spec.html
They seem to be compatible as some sellers are selling the 275W version for the XR10X.

Reset the lamp timer.
1,Connect the power cord.
2,While simultaneously holding down "menu","enter" and "down" on the projector, press "standby/On" on the projector and keep all four buttons pressed down until the lamp indicator starts blinking green.
"LAMP 0000H" is displayed, indicating that the lamp timer is reset.

Have a nice day!

I opened mine up hit the red reset in the front and now all good. If ur red light is blinking make sure ur lamp compartment is shut properly, if not the red light will blink and unit won't turn on.

It is mother board problem.Reverse side of the board 5 pin ic not giving 12 volt.pin no. 1 input 12volt and pin no.3 12 volt out.it might be damage

It seems front fan or color wheel damage

maybe your Sharp XR-10X are damage so you want to know what will you do??

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!

this is something which sharp didnt foresee!!!!!!!!!!
sharp has two identical models
sharp xr10x & the newer model xr10xl.both the lamps look alike , however both have a different rating & reverse connector!!
i.e both cannot be interchanged!however if u have the old xr10x & if u try to fit the new bulb which is lower in wattage, it will explode in 20 mins
if you have bought a used projector , then u wont know if someone has interchanged the ballast!!
as this model was discontinued 2 years back!!!!
so confirm the model , it is mentioned under sharp name or at the bottom
good luck

Hey, XR10S and XR10SL is the same. The Lamp is SHP93 if for Replacement.
