- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- This Optoma UHD60 projector had a new lamp assembly installed but it would not work. After a replacement lamp had the same response, the customer sent it in for an exam. The issue was a common Optoma issue where the index mark of the color wheel flaked off.

Hello Frank
I've been watching your videos for a long time. Thank you very much for the great videos
I learned a lot and your videos also helped me start my small business.
I solved this problem with the sticker a little differently 😁
with a black acrylic pen.
I simply paint the sticker after a total of 3 layers.
Stickers that I used came off after a short time.
Once the paint is dry I do the next layer.
works really well and doesn't come off again.
greetings from Germany
Seriously? My videos helped you with your business? That is super cool!! I really like your idea with the sticker. I have done that with stove paint(high temp paint) but acrylic sounds interesting and much easier to deal with. Thank you so much for the tip and I am honestly amazed that my videos could help you like that. It's the first I have heard this and It really makes me happy to hear. Thank you again for letting me know.
Cheers Frank. Always interested to see the insides of different machines and how to make repairs.
Much appreciated Karl! More laser units are coming up
Great video. For me and lots of others that is still substantial amount of noise from color wheel, I have UHD40 and it is mounted overhead. When I manually turn of color wheel throught the service menu there is it just fan noise which is berable but with color wheel on, it just sucks. If it is off you do not have fluid picture in HDR mode. Thought that this replacement of color wheel will made me do it but it is actually the same noise what I have. It needs a hush box unfortunately. Thank you for video.
That's rather odd, 5 segments wheel. I haven't seen them in Optoma projectors. 23:42 the gloves are the hindrance for putting the index tape on, of course Frank is aware of that. Great job. Nicely done.
Great video. Used this yesterday to fix my UHD65 which had become very noisy. I broke one segment in the colour wheel while fixing the screws in the motor but superglued it back in and left it overnight. Has worked for an hour but time will tell! Now as silent as a mouse.
Superglue failed an hour later. New wheel on order!
I've had that work on occasion. I think the centrifugal force is just too much. I think you will find the new wheel is quieter too. They get noisy slowly so you don't really notice always. It was totally worth a try!
Thank you, i have seen that the Optoma UHD60 4K is now in a price range (where i live) that its affordabke. Maybe my next projector after my Epson ^^.
Another day, another faulty Optoma! Great video Frank!!!
I will start calling them Floptoma projectors! It really pains me to see what optoma has devolved into. I havent seen their laser stuff yet. I am holding out some hope that the lamp stuff was just a means to an end. But Im not holding my breath.
Your awesome my friend thank you for being so confident and extremely good with instructions on what to do. You gave me a newish projector again 😊
That is honestly a huge compliment! Thank you
You have the best videos. I cleaned my Panasonic PT-AX200U LCD Projector and you gave me good guidance on how to take it apart. I went a little far in cleaning everything with the optics but eventually got all the glass aligned. There may be some slight green in the picture but hardly noticeable. I ordered a new lamp from Projector Central for $162. It lasted 6 months and then had this weird flickering I thought maybe it was a bad cable or power supply but it was the lamp because when I put in the old lamp it was fine. They sent me a new lamp and now the picture is perfect again. 👍 whew. Next projector I hope to get laser but maybe this will last me for many years??? Not sure.
Hi Steve, thank you so much! Nice work on that. LCD alignment is no fun. That is impressive that you got it working. Nice job!
@@FixitFrank just wanted to let you know I appreciate the help. Your the one that gave me confidence to take it all apart was not easy.
Another great video! Thanks Frank
Glad you enjoyed it!
appreciate the video
Hello Frank!
Thank you for the video of the uhd60 teardown.
I hope you can advise me of how to correct an issue that I have with the lens. I have recently changed the old lens with a new one due to burned coating. After the exchange when I focus the projection image one side is getting de-focused/blurry. Is there anything that I am missing as I did return everything back as it was originaly. I hope you can give me an advice, I am quite tech savvy but seems that this one I can't solve on my own. Do I need to adjust somethning else?
Cheers from CND!

I have an Optoma 4k550 and the connector that connects to the wire from the bulb was burnt. Can it be replaced and if so do you happen to know what type of part I would search for? I can't find anything online.
I don't know if it has a specific name. I also suspect it's not something you can buy from a normal electronics supply company. They tend to be pretty specialized. That said, I would suggest emailing Pureland supply's support email and see if they can help. (support at purelandsupply.com ) As long as you are in the USA, they should be able to help you since they sell lamps.
Hi Frank. Thanks for your video on the UHD60. Only 418 hours on my projector. The HDMI stopped working on both of the ports. VGA input works great. Any ideas? Do you a have a link for a motherboard replacement? Checked cables/ refresh rates and different input devices...
418 hours? Dang. that's awful. Optoma really dropped the ball on this series. They all have these issues. The HDMI chip probably is the problem. You don't want to replace the mainboard. They are stupid expensive. There is a chance that just the TVS diode array failed and is preventing/protecting the chip or the chip itself failed. Your best bet (aside from replacing the projector) is to have the TVS diodes checked on the HDMI inputs and have them replaced if they are bad and possibly the HDMI chip itself. Mainboard would easily be $5-700. HDMI chip and TVS diode replacement should be well under that. Id suggest using HDMI surge protectors in the future.This seems to be a very common failure on these.
@@FixitFrank Thoughts on projector that is comparable? We were very happy with the uhd60. And thank you for your quick response.
I'm not great with what's newest and greatest. But I'd suggest contacting or checking with the folks at projectorscreen.com. They're who I ask and the folks there know the nuances of what's good for your uses. Personally I prefer Sony or JVC over anything else but BenQ has some offerings lately that sound like they're worth checking out.
Hello, I have an Opthoma UDH 60
Just like this video, I'm having trouble finding where the big fan is connected. I can't find where to connect it. Can you help me? It was someone else who took it apart and I can't find where the cable for the large fan is fixed.
looks like it plugs into the mainboard on the top. I think I show it in this video but not clearly. itll be a 3 pin connector.
hello. I would appreciate it if you could tell me where and how to purchase the new color wheel for this product.
On Amazon, only the color wheel of HD20, etc can be searched.
yeah amazon is a huge disappointment for parts. I get them from a company in China. They ship DHL and take paypal. Gydz@timeprojectorlamp.com let them know I referred you.
Hi there, question for you. I damaged the outer-most lens of the UHD65 version of this projector, but I'm having a hard time searching for the part name to replace it. What is the putter most lens called? Do I need the whole "tunnel" assembly?
Yeah you need the entire lens assembly. It's supposed to be sealed and from experience these are a huge pain to reassemble. You might find a used good one but a new lens is going to be difficult to find. I use a company in China called Time electronics. gydz@timeprojectorlamp.com is their contact info. They'd be my first contact.
Hey@@FixitFrank thank you so much for taking the time and effort to reply and provide legitimate help!
Hello I used your video to help replace this component. It worked mostly. But now it is projecting white vertical lines on the left half of the screen.
Do you have any idea what that means?
Hi! most likely one of the flex cables to the dmd card is not seated right. these use 2 dmd controllers to drive the dmd chip and if one half is not right, then it usually points to a bad connection in the LVDS circuit and in these that tends to be the 2 flex cables or one of the other dmd connectors.
Fix it frank o have an optoma Uhd30 that has a single bright white speck center of screen . Any idea what this could be and can I send it to you to fix ?
Frank - Got one of these, been running like a champ for long time but bulb was long past it's prime. Replaced it.. was fine, but the fan was starting to make an awful racket. Well it's not got solid red lamp light and flashing power light - manual says that's a lamp failure, but both the old and new lamp do the same time. Possible it's actually the fan that has failed? Still seems to turn without issue, but it was making quite a racket before it al went south.
what you heard was probably the color wheel starting to tear itself up. If it was a fan, you would get a temp light warning. My money if on the index mark on the color wheel or a segment that came loose and now the wheel is jammed.
@@FixitFrank Sounds like a likely issue. It's stopped completed, and just before it was a racket. After seeing how those marks can come off I think you're right on the money. I'll see once i get it open here today or tomorrow.
@@FixitFrankI Welp, was not the mark, that was there and still solid. The wheel turns, but when I cleaned everything up and put it back in to test (Before full reassemble) that thing screeches something awful then stops, then shuts down with the lights :p So sounds like the motor for the wheel itself may have gone belly up.
they use an oil bronze bearing so that also makes sense. If you are in the USA, I actually have a pair of new UHD60 color wheels. If you are interested let me know and we can figure out how to connect.
@@FixitFrank dang, already ordered one off eBay! Hopefully it's the issue.. i don't know what else could make such a racket down there.
Hi Frank thanks a lot - this video helped us so much. We have the exact same problem with our AcerV7850. Quick question what happens if we accidentally plug on the projector lamp backwards? We don't have that obvious tab and the plug goes in both ways. Thanks again
Fortunately you don't have anything to worry about. These are AC lamps. Worst case, it wont light. You wont hurt anything though. Make sure its fully seated and put the door back on and you should be okay.
Perfect. Thanks a million, super helpful.
Awesome video Frank !Excellent job. I have a few questions and I was hoping you may be able to help. I have an Epson 1080ub that has developed a few dust blobs. I was wondering which screws are needed to be removed? There are 2 one the bottom buried deep and some on the back. My second question is I have a JVC rs 45 that I bought used. It came with a lamp installed and a spare. Both of which are extremely dim. I read that lamps were an issue with this model when it first came out . I’m thinking on buying another new lamp but I’m concerned it may be something else. Ballast maybe? Thanks so much and keep up the great videos. Cheers!
Fantastic video! Thanks Frank!
Could you help me with the questions below?
I have an Optoma UHD65, I open it to change the lamp and I saw that the same piece also begin oxidized. Do you know if it is a chronic issue on UHD models?
I have this projector since 2018 (5 years only), I use it little, but I already need change the lamp 3 times, this last time the lamp duration was less than 300 hours. Would you have any susplicions about what might be happen?
The last lamp burned had a kind of bright whit dust on the top of filament.
My projector came without air filter and I couldn't found it to buy. Is there some alternative for that?
Thanks a lot
Thank you great video
I have same problem with My uhd60 but cant find any colorwheel anywhere ?
Do you still have one spare ?
I am from denmark

it would be really expensive to get from me. contact the people i used. gydz@timeprojectorlamp.com. i suspect you can get a much better price and receive it quickly.
Okay thank you for repying to me i Will try to Contact Them and see

@@FixitFranki Tried fixing mine , there was NO marking tape on mine so i put some smal Black tape piece on and it work BUT after 1 Hour the lamp red light came on and it Will not start again
So Think i need a new color wheel
Does you Think the same ?
Thank you
definitely the new sticker probably fell off. Unless you can find some black kapton tape, most other black tapes will melt and fall off. That wheel gets pretty hot from the lamp.
Found your video quite helpful when I changed out my color wheel on my uhd60 a few months ago. I seem to have an issue now that the projector turns on and off within 60 seconds after turning on. Changed out the bulb and still the same issue. Any ideas off the top of your head what I should try next and if not would I be able to pay you to give it a go?
I would see what the LEDs are flashing. If they indicate bulb/lamp failure, I would check the color wheel sensor. Its also possible its the lamp itself(I dont know how old it is). I tend to replace the lamp first just to rule it out. If you go that route make sure you can return it in case its not the problem.
@@FixitFrankI tried putting in a fresh bulb and still not working. Also is their a way I can rewire the cable that goes from the power button on the side? I seem to of pulled it out last time not sure how but the side where it shows power and bulb lights do not luminate. If possible I would pay to have you give it a go and would make for another video if you decide to do it that way. If not do you have anyone you suggest who I can send it to for it to be fixed?
I'd be happy to look at it. Is there a way I can get in touch with you? I had to take my email down as I was getting slammed with requests and while I like to help, I just dont have the free time unfortunately. Or if you want to check the community page, I put a link to a facebook group that I admin. I can connect there if you want.
Hi Frank, awesome video! I found out that my colour wheel also was missing the black label tape. I managed to replace with small piece of another tape but the motor still keeps loud noice and I believe its time to replace the wheel. Could you point me to correct item ? Any recommended place to order in EU? Many thanks!
sure! I would contact the people I used. They ship worldwide. Gydz@timeprojectorlamp.com they ship DHL and take paypal. Let them know I referred you!
Super, thanks for quick reply ! I'll ask from them and let them know. @@FixitFrank
Great Video thanks for sharing. I have one of these with EDID issue any idea how to reset EDID or where to find latest flash for UHD60?
oh man. I have had a rough time with those. I'm trying to get my hands on a good unit that I might be able to dump the firmware from. I can't seem to find it with Optoma USA. I wonder if Optoma in Europe might be more helpful?
@@FixitFrank I bit the bullet and sent it in for firmware upgrade/evaluation hopefully fresh firmware and eeprom reload will fix it my serial number was all 0000's. I could get only the roku startup logo to show on hdmi2 and on hdmi1 i could get to the menu but couldn't play video it was a weird one. I wish I could find service manuals for these Optima's. Thanks again for your great videos!
I got mine to turn on once after I cleaned it, it showed the Optoma screen. Mounted it back to the ceiling and it didn’t work again. It acts like it wants to start up. Turns red and the fans turn on then shuts off. Any ideas?
Not really. I don't know what you did inside so it's hard to say. But in my experience when it happened to me, I usually ended up finding a wire not seated right or loose something. Basically go back over your work a few times. I'm sure you'll figure it out.
I'd take one of your uhd60 color wheels if still available?
Hi! There are some available. Here is a link. www.purelandsupply.com/projector-parts_uhd60-colorwheel.html
Hi FixitFrank, I'm having a couple of issues with my uhd60. First the dreaded stuck/hot pixel, 2nd all the way the left edge there is like a discoloration from top to bottom about an inch wide. Any tips or advice on how to fix?
Thanks in advance.
The pixel thing is definitely a DMD issue. That might be why you see the discoloration. However that might also be the light tunnel/integrator. I'd have to see a picture of the discoloration to know more specifically.
Do you have an email so we correspond some more?
@@FixitFrank Hey Frank, not sure if this is too late to dive into the comments on this video but I had some wild discoloration/blockiness (specifically in reds) over 2 years ago and a local shop has had it ever since and keeps telling me they're "working on it" but "can't seem to figure out what part is broken". Is there a way to correspond with you? Thanks!
Hello Frank, Where can i but a colour wheel?
www.purelandsupply.com/projector-parts_uhd60-colorwheel.html these folks have it but I am not sure if ship out of the USA. I'd ask them first.
@@FixitFrank I managed to get it from Ebay for a lower price. A big thank you for the video again Frank. Without your video the repair would have been very difficult. Fixed the issue. Looks like new again from day 1. Cheers Frank. Any videos on Optoma HD32x?
What kind of tape is this? Is it a specialty tape?
Kind of. It's a higher temp resistant tape. Electric tape won't work.
my projector nec np40g status light blinking 4 times what problem sir
I believe that is a fan error. Check the turbine/blower fan that feeds air into the lamp assembly. They can get jammed from an old lamp burst. I think there are 3-4 fans inside this model. One of them is causing this error. Be sure to verify all fans are free to spin and not blocked by debris or bits of glass.
Great video!!!
I have a question,
I have optoma uhd65 , left edge is yellowish dark 1”
What can be the reason.
I'd have to see a picture, but my gut says you have a light tunnel that collapsed or shifted. Do you see what sort of resembles a prism on that edge?
@@FixitFrank thanks for your time))
It is not the whole edge, it is the middle or centre of left side/edge. It is dark and yellowish. And it is gradually.Is there a way i can send you a picture?
Yes! You can email me. Frank@fixfrank.com Sorry, you message was bumped to my held for review area. I dont know why youtube does this.
@@FixitFrank no problem)) I sent the photo of yellow edge

Please canon projector ke upar video bnao repairing ki
Projector warning show kara raha hai
I would but I can only show videos when I have a projector. I don't have a canon to fix. I can only work on what people send. I don't have money to buy projectors just for videos. I tried that and it cost me too much that I do not have. If I get a canon, I will record it.
I have a Runco LS-3
How do i contact you to set up repair?
I'm sorry I can't take in those to work on. Parts are impossible to get and they are just too large to deal with.
My UHD60 was all good till it went out, its not the bulb and had no power going to the bulb so i pulled the power supply out. At 44:19, there is that color wheel sensor with the 2 yellow wires, where does the other end connect to? I just cant see where it plugs in to. Can you help? I doubt i fixed it, replaced 4 of the mosfets but figured ide put it all back together and see if i got lucky.
that is a thermal breaker that shuts down the projector if it gets too hot. I think it goes to the mains supply but I cant remember.
@FixitFrank yeah, my dumb as* finally found out where it went. After all back together still dead. Color wheel kicks on, fans kick in then red light saying bulb. It's not the bulb, I have no 12vdc coming out of the socket (and i had the switch taped down for the door safety) , which led me to pull the power supply out. Saw some videos about a mosfet going out. I replaced the 4 in a row, but still nothing. Found a used power supply on ebay but waiting for crappy optoma to get back to me on how much a bran new one is.
@FixitFrank me again.. so I ordered a new power supply from optoma for $68 bucks, had it all back together, and the same thing happends. So as far as I know, only reason I'm not getting and power out of the socket going to the lamp is 1: the switch to the hatch which I know works and 2: that thermal resistor is burned out / open. I get a small resistance on it. I'm assuming as it gets hot the resistance should change but it doesn't. You think or seen those go out?
Those thermal breakers are just open and close. It's not a thermistor. It's a bimetal switch inside that thing and it just pops open once it reaches its threshold. Are you sure it's not the bulb? You said you replaced the mosfets in the ballast but what voltage were you getting to the ballast? you should be getting 380DC on the power input to the ballast from the mains supply. If you are not getting that 380, the power factor correction circuit isnt running.
@FixitFrank yeah, i took it to work. Measured like 6 ohms. Put it over a heat gun and you can hear it switch open and went into mega ohms. Cooled off and went back down to 6 ohms or so. Guess my UHD60 is junk, just tested it after confirming and still nothing. Color wheel spins, fans kick on, then bam just a red blinking bulb light. Tried 3 new bulbs so it can't be bulbs. Plus I checked output and nothing. Owell, time to get a new projector. Thanks!
Hey I need that exact wheel how do I contact seller there is no link
you can email me. I sold them but I did get a few more. Just havent updated the description. frank@fixfrank.com

Hi Frank- great video; I followed it to replace my colour wheel on my UHD30, but when I turn it on, the fan, lamp and c wheel all start but after a few attempts I get the red lamp failure lights- do I need to do something to "reset" things after changing the c wheel?
UPDATE: Having cleaned the colour wheel sensor and reseated the colour wheel sensor ribbon and the control panel ribbon the red lights have stopped, but I still have a problem. Now when I turn the projector on the lamp, fans and colour wheel start up initially but after about 30 seconds the lamp turns off and the main blower fan goes into idle mode- with a blue power light only showing on the control panel.
Any ideas gratefully received!
have you replaced the lamp assembly recently with a cheaper option? Some use the wrong IR cut filter glass and will cause this issue. also the index sensor wires can break at the PCB but the glue holds it so it looks connected. I'd check that.
@@FixitFrank thanks so much for your reply Frank, I have seen on the forums how busy you are. I have not touched the original fan/fan case and the lamp looks good (no white residue or bumps). I inspected the wires where the sensor attaches to the PCB and they are not broken - although there is a tiny (2mm?) cut on the pink wire where I can see the bare wire; I put insulating tape around it but it made no difference. I presume it's not as simple as pulling that wire out of the socket, cutting the end off and putting it back in? Can't seem to find a replacement index sensor online....
Ok. After yet another evening of poking around looking for possible problems (the only thing I found was a jst (I think that's what I called) connector block seams loose at the far rear left side of the PCB) I am going to have to reluctantly admit to feet and send my projector off to optoma - I will let you know if I find anything interesting! Thanks for your suggestions.
Final update. As I feared would happen, having paid Optoma £100 to collect/return and "diagnose" my PJ problem, they have asked for £571 to replace the motherboard. Obviously not economically viable so will be selling it for spares. My confidence has been shaken a bit in Optomas and think I will try an Epson/Benq/Sony (Epson EH-TW6150 looks like poss the only one in my price range). Thanks all
Frank, I was told you could help me fix my JVC dla-rs25-u. It had a purple streak on the screen so I opened it up to align the mirrors and I think I ruined some of the glasses in the optical block while trying to clean them. When I put the projector back together I turned it on and the projector was completely yellow. Some guy said that I should ask you for help because he said you could source me out parts or something. Thanks for reading.
I think we're speaking in email. If not, my parts contact can probably get that for you. Gydz@timeprojectorlamp.com can likely get the parts you need.
I have the wrong color wheel in my h7850 dlp projector, it needed an optima uhd 60 color wheel but I purchased a fake knockoff color wheel from ebay probably for a 720p projector maybe it's just scam item setup to trick buyers since it has the same hardware number and claims to be compatible when it's not, And the segments are completely different.
www.purelandsupply.com/projector-parts_uhd60-colorwheel.html Its available there. I wonder what they thought it was for? If it was by the number on the cable that might be why. I have had trouble with those numbers.
@@FixitFrank thanks I bought 1 just now.
@FixitFrank next im getting a new 4k dmd 350 pin from Texas instruments, I just have to wait until the support emails me if they have any compatible ones on thier website but it's taking a long time since acer h7850and v7850 are discontinued since 2019.
I just found out the optima uhd60 uses the same parts as acer H7850 4k projector so the same shape lense assembly, dmd chip ,lamp housing just 1200 lumens less brightness .
That makes a lot of sense. I know a lot of Acer and Optoma share lamps. Glad the link worked out! Let me know if you run into trouble.
