Hello, good day. My problem is relationship my sony xga vpl - ex7 not turn on. Only lighting the lamp/cover.

i am also looking for this answer, it looks like people try to make a quick buck on ebay selling this http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-PROJECTOR-AIR-FILTER-FOR-3M-Projector-FIT-FOR-3M-PROJEDTOR-AIR-FILTER-/180827230857?pt=US_Remote_Controls&hash=item2a1a249289

But im going to just go buy some thin foam type stuff and keep my old frame and glue or attach the new stuff to my old air filter frame and that should take care of it.

GOOD LUCK

isert the lens cover properly

where it the RESET located? I do not have any on my VPL-EX7

If it blinks with 2 flashes, it's overheated. Check the filter unit.
If it blinks with 4 flashes, a fan is not working properly. see if any fan is not turning on, and check why.
If it blinks with 6 flashes, it's a system internal failure.

Try a different source ie a laptop and see what happens.This sounds like a source problem.

check that the cover is secured properly and the little switch inside the init is activated by the plastic protusion on the inside of the cover, when installed correctly

pudiera ser que los ventiladores que tiene no esten trabajando por lo que calienta y se proteje debe serrevisado por un experto

does the "lamp/cover"-led light up? i had the same thing happening, the lamp either broke or is about to break and the projektor won't turn it on again to protect itself. if its very urgent, open the projector pull the lamp out and put it in again, it might work for 1 or 2 more times, but it is very likely to explode (usually not breaking the projector but for sure not good for it).

good luck!

Hi,
After replacing lamp, connect projector AC power cord and turn the projector in standby mode.

Press following keys on control panel for less then 5 seconds each..
RESET, <==, ==>, ENTER.
That will reset lamp timer in projector.
Thanks.

the cover switch is probably not fully made.
Ensure that the cover tangs are pushing the pin
on the miniswitches.
Try putting slight pressure on the fan or lamp cover to see if the lamp/cover light
stops flashing.
you will need to do a restart on the PJ to check this out
