Thanks to Cato Lauvli catolau@gmail.com for the new intro!
Thanks for this! Just replaced my color wheel and now my HD26 is silent again and brighter with a crisper, cleaner image! Well worth it !
Thanks brother. You saved our family projector and saved us money we didnt have to spend.
Important work, my friend.
Great video. it gave me the confidence to easily install a new color wheel. My original lamp exploded after 4000 hours, so I ordered a new lamp and color wheel. FYI, you don't need to completely remove the lamp enclosure you can just remove the screws and pull the lamp enclosure up an inch to remove the color wheel. The projector is now brighter more colorful and quiet again. Well worth the $80 lamp $40 color wheel and a couple hours of work.
Ken Reilly I have the same projector and would love to know what and where you got the bulb so cheap?
@@FernandezF13 I got mines from Amazon for $87 and it works fine 👍
Always excited to see new videos from this channel!
Ditto
Same! Also, Trent Reznor props.
Glad I searched to see if anybody else did a video on this before I made one lol.
Just changed mine as it was making the same noise! Managed to get a colour wheel from eBay for £30 and works great
Thanks loads!!! I have a HD141X, and by the looks of it, it's the same color wheel enclosure! I'm definetely going to by a new one and replace now to see if I can make it less noisy!!
Thanks a lot!
Roberto Hradec please let me know how it went I have a HD142X , it should be the same I hope
@@ralfsanta2064 I have an HD141X & got a $30 replacement color wheel off of Amazon. Went in w/o a hitch & is whisper quiet again.
Just wanted to say thanks, followed this pretty much step by step with my Optoma GT1080 (Non Darbee Edition) and it was a simple easy fix.
hey Matthew, could you please direct me to where you purchased a replacement wheel? Hoping to fix mine as well. thanks!
Do you have a link to the color wheel, I have a 1080 as well that just went out
Thank you, this video was a huge help and now our projector is silent once again!
Thanks for this video! I was able to pull apart my 1080 model and replace the color wheel, no more obnoxious noise!
Thanks so much for your videos. I gained the confidence to repair my Game gear.

Thank You So much for making this video! Was able to fix my HD141X following your video and replacing my color wheel.
Got an Optoma HD141X that's about 5 years old now. Replaced the lamp & had this same noise happening. I'm glad it was easy to replace the color wheel, since it's whisper quiet once again, but I question the engineering of this model. The plastic mounts are next to screws that get super hot from the lamp & have started melting. Another screw hole mount for the color wheel assembly, also plastic, snapped after becoming super brittle from the amount of heat in this chassis. Everything still assembles back together w/o issue & it still works without a hitch. At the time I got it for 50% off of Newegg, which originally listed this 1080p model for $1200. I'd be pissed to have this bad of a design, if I paid that much for it. As is, I'm irritated that even a $600 product (due to Cyber Monday discount) wasn't really thought out properly & seems to be engineered to fail only after a short amount of time. Will probably go w/ another brand after I get my money's worth out of it.
Very common problem with DLP projectors. Replaced the wheel in my Benq awhile ago.
Going to try to see if this works for my 1080GT. Opened up projector and it looks like color wheel ribbon is partially melted. Just got a new one coming this week. If it works, it is great. If it doesn't, at least I tried spending $40 to save a $800 investment and learned a lot along the way - to never buy another Optoma projector again. Got a 20+ year old Dell MP2100 and it still works with no issues...
So I have the optoma EH341, looks basically the same as yours, I think it might only be sold to companies so it's hard to find info on it. So last time I tried to clean a projector I destroyed it lol used an air can to get dust out and it got inro places it shouldn't have. The inside of this newer one (new to me) is covered in dust, I can't find any filter on it and the manual shows the same projector as mine but with spots to take off to access filter, but for some reason mine has no spots that come off like it shows (literally 2 solid pieces of plastic encase the entire thing, where is your filter and how do you access it? And what is the best way to completely clean this thing out without risking damaging the mirrors, color wheel, bulb and projector? Thanks in advance man great video
Awesome! Thanks for such an informative video. Looks to me like my Optoma GT1080 is the exact same steps and layout, so I am going to attempt this as soon as a new color wheel arrives. Definitely think this will fix mine as well! Thanks again for the tutorial!
Many thanks, this great video help to me a lot of in order to repair my projector, greetings from Spain
Just another voice to add to the thank you's :) projector back up & running & good as new. ( though I admit I got an electronics friend to follow your instructions & do it for me )
All you needed to buy was a $3 aerosal dust can and sprayed the color wheel bearing to get the dust out and alcohol for the glass. Mine was vibrating but after cleaning, it has been working for over 2 years.
Thank you so much! This video was incredibly helpful and allowed me to fix my projector with the same issue !!
You probably did not need to replace... I just opened and cleaned my wheel which did nothing apart from remove some dirt. Still had the same problem, what I had to do was replace a missing sticker on the wheel that allows the unit to determine where the wheel is at. If you look at spare wheels on ebay you will see the sticker I am talking about. And the fix was to take some of the black tape that holds the wires above the wheel and cut it to size of the missing sticker going by the old glue shape size. I then used some contact adhesive spray on the black tape only and then stuck it in place and I now have a working projector after a year of it sitting collecting dust! Oh and not everyone has contact adhesive, I am a carpet fitter. But you could use regular glue if you give it time to set.
Thanks. That solved my problem. I just need to get spray contact adhesive! Cheers
thanks, I didn't know what the color wheel was until now.
Thank you my brother,
Could you tell me where to buy the color wheel? I have seen many suppliers by ebay but I would appreciate it if you would recommend me the best one for
Thanks! They helped me change my color wheel today.
your colorwheel has some brownish burnt on crud. Mine has that too. Two little burnt/melted on cruds. I think they make it out of balance, and cause that noise. And it figures I just broke my replacement while trying to get it all reseated. I think I figured out what angle to take for my next replacement (nearly $30 down the drain).
It is quite unusual now to see sloted screws used in mass produced customer equipment !
on my optoma the color wheel doesn't go away, need to apply a lot of pressure to take it away? I unscrewed everything and removed the lamp holder and fan, but not the color wheel bracket
do you cook a lot with the projector on? maybe grease from smoke got cooked onto the color wheel
That wasn't too complicated. I've always been intimidated by mine, never taken it apart. I've read stories of people trying to replace the DLP chip, only to wind up with problems with the mirrors being stuck on white and apparently it would get worse.
I say thank you for the video very much. I would love the HD26 from cleaning to see video. Where I find it or you would be able to charge a video like this?
Thanks!
Where to get this part??
I am looking everywhere.....please help!
Optoma part 17S220F060 YJ1531 sumito G 95 AWW 20661 105C 60V VW-I-F
Thanks for the interesting tear-down video. My bulb blew so I installed a new lamp. Now shows a solid red power and solid red lamp. The manual isn't clear to me on this, any suggestions?
there is a metal safety lever that needs to be pushed. Make sure that is pushed by the lid going over the lamp. if the lid is not placed it will not run it. You may push that with something to test the projector.
What does a contact sensor look like in a hd141x??
Thank you for the video - I have an optoma GT750E short throw projector has a bad color wheel (same noise as yours, one piece of glass came unglued and fell off the wheel) 1) can that be reglued onto the wheel? 2) Where can I get a new wheel? 3)In the process of opening the projector I tried to unclip that flat ribbon cable to the "controls" and the end (clip) came off (fell apart). Where can I get a new ribbon cable?......
This worked thanks so much !!!
My optoma eh501 flashes orange (power button). All I did was open up the top to look inside and now it wont turn on. Any idea on what I might have done to it? Everything looks attached and in good condition. (The reason I took the top off was because the ac power port had issues, it was very sensitive and if the cord moved at all it would lose power).
Hi mate! Thanks for the video, it really helped me check whether my lamp explosion had damaged my color wheel. Thankfully, it hasn't, but I now wonder how I could clean the wheel. Do you know if I can use isopropyl alcohol (aka isopropanol) and a microfiber cloth? It is what I generally use to clean my computer parts, but I don't know if it can be used on the projector's color wheel.
4:56 ATTENTION: DO NOT REMOVE THE TO SCREWS THAT SIT HALFWAY IN AT AN ANGLE AT THE GREY PART JUST NEXT TO THE COLOR WHEEL. THEY HOLD SOMETHING IN THE LIGHT TUNNEL THAT IS NOT MEANT TO BE ADJUSTED
I have a BenQ MX722 which was making a rattling noise on starting up, but working, for about 2 weeks. Then today the projector stopped working at all and the lights indicate CW start failure. Is there a way I can fix without buying a whole new color wheel?
any advice about a dozen or so dead white pixels? i think i would need to replace the DLP chip but i have no idea what part # or where to get this for the HD26..
Great video! But where to buy those parts?
Thanck you son much Merci pour la vidéo o top très bien expliqué
Where can I find the color wheel for this exact model you are replacing?
Theres no way i would be able to put my projector back together again if i dismantled it like this. Great video though, looks like ill have get a pro to fix the noise in my one.
Same thing with my old Toshiba. The picture was terrible though. Contact cleaner and oil fixed it.
Thanks! Cool Video.
@gametechus hi, great content on your channel! Would you be able to provide a link to the color wheel? Thank you
Can you please do a video on removing the 2 dust filters. The manual does not help. Thanks.
Where can I find the color wheel? I ordered the lamp from Amazon? Any suggestions
Hello will you please help me! I changed the color wheel and I think I put it all back together, but when I turn it back on, it shuts back off and the lamp indicator is a solid red color.
mocfive were you able to fix it? I got the same error
What is the fan size? I am thinkin of replace it with a Noctua fan..
I have the HD26. What's the part number for the color wheel ?
Easy to assemble
I have a couple new project lamps. Still trying to figure out what I want to do with them.
Thank you very much for this video. I found color wheel on internet to buy. In some cases there is written this "Usage: Signal detection point is under the blue color(5mm); Before installation, checking that the position of the black stick point is the same as your color wheel, Or manually pasted to a consistent location" . Can you help me on this Usage Tip please?
I am using your video to replace my OPTOMA HD141X color wheel. Thank you very much for your support.
Спасибо, всё очень понятно и наглядно
Hi can you help me sir The problem is I have optoma 26 The Bulb was not work we changed new Bulb But the problem is not solve when the power is on first three second Bulb is on after the Bulb off then after 4 or 5 second again the bulb onl and off so please give me a soluation

merci beaucoup pour la vidéo
hi can u help me i just change my gt1080 lamp and now the lamp stil not coming on the projector blink blue for about a min the Blue light is on, and I can hear the fan is running.
Fan stops and it repeats like three tmes then it power off and the red light (bulb icon) is also on.
Did you find a solution for this problem?
Great fix, but it amezes me that the color wheel does not have color green in it since red green & blue are the basic colors to create all colors, but in this color wheel i do see color yellow & orange aside from dark pink and blue but no green, so how is color green achieved? Did someone else on youtube had wondered this too.
I don't know the specifics of the function, but somehow or other, it matters whether something is reflecting or projecting light. If you mix yellow and blue crayons, you get green, even though something like a monitor doesn't work that way. It's weird.
Markworth well for what i know is that with paint if you combine blue & yellow together ,you will get green,but with light green is a basic color so if you want color yellow,you need to mix green & red together ,so if this color wheel uses yellow & crayon blue together to get color green, that will blow my mind.
BTW there are color wheels with only red,green and blue colors on it but don't give a wide color spectrum i suppose.
Also there are camera sensors and monitors with red,green ,blue and white in in for true white thus a wider spectrum.
On more budget models they probably cut some colors to make it cheaper. It can probably combine the colors by taking the blue and yellow and ultimately combining it through the projector. So while yes it won't do the best greens, this isn't a problem.
short the optocoupler, get it running with out a super hot lamp in there and jam a LED in it.
como ficam as cores quando o disco de corem não funcionam?
o meu está com as cores opacas. suspeito que seja o disco. as cores estão OK. porem, desbotadas.
Paz.
I have two optoma projectors and one of them the EP739 has the same problem.
Does anyone who owns an Optoma HD26 ever had the power LED turn pink? I went to use my projector yesterday and when I plugged it in the power button LED was pink and the projector would not turn on at all. Does anyone know what it means?
I have flickering while watching this video ,short sad story
What site did u get the color wheel from? I've been looking for one for my optoma w311
Ebay and aliexpress.
GameTechUS thanks!
I was able to get a part number 10s788h010 from my color wheel but none available from aliexpress 😣
hi Rica, whether you got W311 color wheel? i have original color wheel for this projector, contact me freely.
sxrd211 Optoma had the color wheel
I installed the new color wheel but the sound is even worse than before! I don't know what I did wrong
I have Optoma TW 605 ST. Replaced bulb, disassamble and cleaned inside gently with air pressed from compressor. Assambled everything but have light coming inside somewhere... One big bright spot and many smaller... Anyone can help?
they really look all the same from the inside
I have a optoma hd141x, I've followed all instructions but I get the red lights come on and no bulb light
I've replaced the bulb and the colour wheel
Please help!!!!!!!
There's a contact sensor to test if the casing is closed. If this isn't pressed the led will be red and it won't start up. Just make sure you close it properly and it should work. Might be another issue as well, like bad cable connections.
Can anyone help me? I had my optoma HD28DE and it just shut down. 2 (power and lamp) lights are red.
At first I thought it was the fan because it was loud before it shut down. However, I have been researching this for a long time time and wondering if it's just the lamp or the color wheel... or all 3 (lamp,wheel,fan) how can I test... who can help me ?
Oh no , my UHD 55 has started doing it .
how long color wheel hang on before need to be changed ?
if the segments was damaged or picture is discolor or motor make noise, you need to replace it.
at any time, it is possible to broken the segments, it is very fragile.
once motor goes bad, it will make noise, or picture discolor.
about its motor, as its offical data, it can work about 20000h, actually, it will make noise or discolor after 3- 4 years. please make sure your projector work under clean condition, it will be good for expanding service life.
hi I also have the gt1080 projector about 6 months ago it started getting noisy after 2 years daily use coming upto 40.000 use i too thought it was the cooling fan but discovered it is the colour wheel i also repleced the lamp and cleaned the colour whell using isopropyl alcohol i can not find where to purchase a new colour wheel from can you help ?
hi billy, whether you got GT1080 color wheel? i have original color wheel for this projector, contact me freely.
sxrd211 hi and thank you for your reply after I left this comment a few weeks later all the focus went on the projector and picture became very foggy I dismantled the optical array and cleaned everything very carefully but never got a clear picture again so ended up buying a new projector the same one again as it happens now I have the old one for spare parts as all the electronics work fine i think it just needs a new optical assembly .
perhaps you need to align light tunnel or condenser lens. unncessary to replace whole optical assembly
sxrd211 do you sell the bulb too?
exelent
Wow they don't make these last. I bet they want you to toss it once a lamb goes out.
Hi, if you still have this projector, can you make a tutorial about how to clean the lens (inside) mine have dust spots inside, dont know if is the dlp chip or the lense, and dont have optoma support in my country ☹️
Can you please make a tutorial, to remove dust inside the lens?
removing dust from inside the lens? That is nearly impossible.
56 BUCKS?!
i was quite astonished aswell :-D
HOW RUN IN SERVICE MENU?
I fixed my projector, I have an HD 141x model and it looks the same under the top. I replaced my color wheel, and now when I turn on the projector, the power button will be blue for a little bit. Almost like its trying to start up. Then, two red lights will come on. One red light by the power button, and one light by the lamp button. Does anyone have any ideas on why this is the error I keep getting? Very nervous because I don't want to get a new one.
Most likely either the power cable to the lamp isn't plugged in right or the ribbon cable isn't plugged in right.
Kimi Kentner I have the same problem after replacing the color wheel. Tries to start up but then two red lights come up. One red light by the power button and the other by lamp button. Were you able to fix this??
Same here. I've tried re-seating the ribbon cable attached to the lid quite a few times, and can't seem to power it back up. 2 blinking red lights (power & lamp)
Fixed the two blinking red lights. Looks like the cover sensor (the little metal clip near the lamp and color wheel that he clamps down when testing at the end of the video) wasn't being pressed down far enough when I closed the case up. I added a home made widget to the top of the switch to make sure it engaged and that seemed to do it. I also made sure the lamp power and the 2 ends of the ribbon cable on the inside of the cover were inserted and snug.
Sorry, but U destroyd lamp/ C-wheel whit magic eraserer !!
