I replaced the lamp on my barco rlm g5 projector and need to know how to reset the lamp hours so the error message will quit displaying.

If your F35-WQXGA Barco projector is showing a critical error at startup with an IP address, here are a few steps you can try:

1. Check the IP address: Ensure that the IP address is correctly entered and that it matches the IP address assigned to the projector. You can verify the IP address by checking the network settings of the projector.
2. Check the network connection: Ensure that the network cable is properly connected to the projector and that the network is properly configured. You can try connecting a different device to the network to ensure that it is working properly
3. Check the projector's logs: The projector may log errors and events that can provide more information about the issue. You can access the projector's logs through the projector's web interface or by connecting to the projector through Telnet or SSH.
4. Check the network settings: Ensure that the projector's network settings, such as the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway, are correctly configured. You can check the network settings through the projector's web interface or by connecting to the projector through Telnet or SSH.
5. Check the network connection: Ensure that the network cable is properly connected to the projector and that the network is properly configured. You can try connecting a different device to the network to ensure that it is working properly.
6. Check the firmware: Ensure that the projector's firmware is up to date. You can check for firmware updates on the Barco website or by contacting their support team. You can also try reinstalling the firmware to ensure that it is not corrupted.
7. Perform a factory reset: A factory reset can reset the projector to its default settings and may resolve the issue. You can perform a factory reset through the projector's web interface or by connecting to the projector through Telnet or SSH.

Do let me know the result please.

If your F35-WQXGA Barco projector is displaying a critical error at startup, it could be due to a variety of reasons. Here are some potential causes and solutions:

1. Lamp Failure: The projector lamp may have reached the end of its lifespan, or it may have malfunctioned. Check the projector's lamp indicator to see if the lamp needs to be replaced. If it does, replace the lamp with a new one.
2. Power Supply Issue: Check the power supply to ensure that it is functioning properly. Make sure that the projector is receiving the correct voltage and that all cables are securely connected.
3. Overheating: The projector may be overheating due to a blocked air vent or dirty air filter. Check the air filter and clean or replace it as necessary. Ensure that the projector has proper ventilation to prevent overheating.
4. Software Issue: Check for any software updates or patches that may be available for your projector model. Download and install any updates as necessary to resolve any software-related issues.
5. Hardware Issue: If none of the above solutions resolve the issue, it may be a hardware problem. Contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician to diagnose and repair any hardware issues.

It is recommended to refer to the user manual or contact the manufacturer for specific troubleshooting steps and solutions for your model of projector.

I don't believe that you can purchase this lamp as a bare bulb through official channels. It is an expensive lamp + projector and buying cheap copies is likely to be a risky business, definitely not supported by Barco. Prices seem to start at around £3500 GBP (ex VAT) or $5500 USD (ex TAX)

If you are in the UK, here are the 1st two suppliers I found

Given the fact that it is such an expensive lamp you should be able to negotiate a competitive price. I'd get on the phone to any potential supplier and ask them for their very best price rather than buying off the net.

See the manual if there is a lamp timer that you will need to reset or maybe filter cleaning timer. Maybe it is time to clean the air vent filters.

Press the MENU button. Use the < > arrows to get to the OPTION menu. Press the ENTER button. Select LAMP RUN TIME. Press and hold the ENTER button for about 3 seconds. The 'lamp time reset' will display. Press OK and press the ENTER button. This will reset the lamp hours as well as turn off the projector.

the projector will not know that u have replaced the lamp!u will have to tell it that a new lamp has been installed
to do this go to the menu & find reset lamp hours option & do a lampo reset.the lamp hours will reset to zero & then the replace lamp message will nt appear!

You must normally use the remote control to reset the lamp time. If you do that through the menu options and reset lamp hours, it should be OK.

Hi there

You need to reset the lamp timer.

lamp hours can only be displayed by connecting two test points in side the projector. in normal operation, a message will be displayed on the screen when the lamp hours = 1090. when the lamp reaches 1100 hours, the projector will shut itself off. when you do replace the lamp, be sure to reset the lamp time in the setup menu (this is covered in your manual).
