NEC VT47 Lamp type VT70LP will not power up 2 red lights spear Lamp not working

Hi all I have (2) NEC VT47 Lamp type VT70LP, one of the NEC VT47's stoped working so I took the lamp out of the good (2nd) NEC VT47 placing this Lamp into the (1st) projector that had failed to power up.

The problem is that the other lamp did not reset the lamp red light plus the system still will not power up also will not reset the lamp red light.
the two 2 red lights displayed are Power and Lamp.

I run the system with no lamp but all this did was make the status light flash 2 or 3 times and then stoped flashing I then put the good lamp back in but still no change as the Power and Lamp light still glow red

Is there some kind of bios reset jumper in this projector at all or is the system dead.

You can download a pdf of the manual from here:

www.support.nec-display.com/dl_service/data/user_manual/ENGLISH/VT670/vt70s_manual_e.pdf

Also here:

Thanks for your time all any help on this would be ever so greatfull.

    For VT570/VT47 Press and hold the power and the exit buttons on the remote control simultaneously for a minimum of ten seconds. When the lamp time clock is reset to zero, the lamp indicator goes out. Hope this helps! :] [end Quote]

    Thanks for that Gigatech and Jaime867 page 55 did the trick I can not belive that, missed that info on how to do that as I read the Manual 4 or more times and still missed it LOL :)



    mn-tortoise page 50 this would only work befor the lamp has gone over" 3000 Eco" force shut down . Because the system had gone into force shut down mode I was not able to use the menu function. Thanks for your input :)

    Thanks for your help and input all, you all done a top job 10 out of 10
    Thanks all SprinterOz

When the lamp exceeds 2100hoursof service, the projector cannot turn on and the manu is not displayed. Do the following:
For VT670/VT470 Press the help button on the remote control for a minimum of ten seconds.
For VT570/VT47 Press and hold the power and the exit buttons on the remote control simultaneously for a minimum of ten seconds. When the lamp time clock is reset to zero, the lamp indicator goes out. Hope this helps! :]

Did you reset the Lamp Hour Meter through the menu? Check page 50 in the manual for more info. That should turn the lamp light off.
Hope that helps.

Status light is blinking red, power button orange nec vt700

Hello
Look at the number of blinks of the status light.
[1] If it blinks at one cycle (0.5seconds On and 2.5seconds OFF) : Lamp cover error or lamp housing error. Replace the lamp cover or lamp housing correctly.
[2] If it blinks 2 cycles (0.5 seconds ON and 0.5 seconds OFF): Temperature error. The projector is overheated. Move the projector to a cooler position.
[3] if it blinks at 4 cycles (0.5 seconds ON and 0.5 seconds OFF): Fan error. Fans sill not work correctly.
[4] If it bliks at 6 cycles (0.5 seconds ON and 0.5 seconds OFF): Lamp fails to light. Wait a full minute and then turn on again.
[5] If it blinks continous (Red): Lamp has reached the end of its life. Lamp replacement messege will be displayed. Replace Lamp with same type and number. After replacement reset lamp hour. OK.

Blinking status light

Replacing the lamp with an old one was helpful for me. Good news: the projector itself not faulty. Bad news: I have two projectors with the same issue at the same time (the lamps were replaced also at the same time) after only 400 hours of running.

NEC VT47 lamp won't light

According to the manual, yes . . .probably gone past the recommended hours of lamp use. Press the OFF or the HELP button on the remote for 10 sec, this will reset the lamp hours value and allow the unit to come on. If it don't, NEC will tell you that it has to be sent to a repair center.
