Optoma hd65 doesn't turn on

The same problem i have was posted in your site on March16 2010 but couldn't find a solution to it:
(as posted in your site)
I have exactly the same problem with my Optoma HD65. When I turn it on the fan starts but the bulb does not light up. The fan goes through a couple of high speed/low speed cycles and then stops and the red bulb light comes on.

I thought it was the bulb the first time it happened but after letting it sit for a while powered off it started again. The next time I went to use it though it wouldn't start and it hasn't started since


Any suggestion?
Thank you

I've had the exact same problem with no good solution. New bulb, same problem. If I let it set plugged in overnight it sometimes works. But I think we all know it's an Optoma design flaw. My unit is only two months old and I'm sending this piece of **** back.

Possible cause is overheating.
Do you hear the fan working?
What happens when you use the lowest level light output?
Does it run longer?

Also possible cause is a faulty temp sensor.
AC wire connection may not be firmly pressed in socket.

SOURCE: need to somehow hook up speakers to hd65 optoma.

HI there the normal way to sort this problem in most installations is to run active speakers straight from the sound card on the pc /laptop that is running your presentation and nothing to do with the projector

skytec make a good range of quality active speaker available on the net

MY OPTOMA HD65 KEEP TURNING OFF AFTER 1 TO 2 MIN. OF USE THE FAN IS RUNNING WHAT ELSE COULD BE WRONG WITH IT IT IS ONLY 1 YEAR 4 MONTHS OLD ..IT ALSO HAD A NEW BULB

Try cleaning the filter. If the area where it is installed is enclosed this will also cause over heating.. Make sure you have adequate air flow in the place where it is located and clean the filter.

Optoma hd65 projector new bulb wont turn on...cant reset timer!

I think it's a lamp driver issue from what I've seen others have gone through. I also read that if you go through the sequence of unplugging, plug back in, wait 20 seconds and try to turn on, multiple times, it will finally kick on and work. I just got mine to turn back on by doing this and waiting through the fan cycling without the light turning on. After the 4th sequence the light flickered. After the 7th sequence it finally turned on and is working. Now I can watch the Super Bowl and will look into replacing soon.

Need to somehow hook up speakers to hd65 optoma, since it comes with no speakers. This would just be a business presentation so a good speaker component is fine but it doesn't have to be home theatre...
