They seem to be compatible as some sellers are selling the 275W version for the XR10X.

hi,
for resetting the lamp hour do the following

1. Plug the power cord into the AC socket of the projector.
2. While simultaneously holding down MENU/HELP, ENTER and DOWN ARROW button on the projector, press STANDBY/ON on the projector.
3. "LAMP 0000H" is displayed, indicating that the lamp timer is reset.


ok

You should consider using original lamp from sharp before some generic lamp destroys the ballast or power supply of the projector.

yes. it's an AN-XR10LP/1.

reset the lamp timer. unplug it and plug it back in. hold down the enter, down, and menu buttons, then press the power button.

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!

first, make sure you have the correct lamp. the lamp for the xr-10x-l looks like the xr-10x, but the plugs are different (common mistake). make sure you have the AN-XR10L2/1, not the AN-XR10LP/1. to reset the lamp timer (with the projector plugged in but off), hold down the enter, down arrow, and menu buttons and press the power.

you need to reset the lamp timer see http://www.ercservice.com/PDF/Lamp-Sharp-XR10-XR20.pdf

I sent mine in. They changed the bulb and cleaned the unit. The one thing they did suggest that seemed helpful was to upgrade the firmware. They did this as part of the service. That may be your problem, but I don't know that the firmware is upgradable. Yes indeed, they do charge an outrageous price!! I went through Sharp because they would guarantee the work, and I didn't want to buy two bulbs.
