Optoma GT1080 Darbee DLP Projector Color Wheel Replacement
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2024
- I had someone send in their Optoma GT1080 Darbee with a lamp error and making a horrendous noise. The index mark had fallen off the wheel and the rest showed evidence of running too hot. It looks like there had been dust inside at one point which is very common for many projectors.
I verified the color wheel issue with replacing the index mark and then I actually had a used/good wheel to try to be 100% sure. Once I talked to the owner, I purchased a new color wheel, which I installed about a week later. Thankfully due to the magic of video, you get to see it all at once.
The only other thing I found was that the lamp assembly was using a known "not good" lamp inside. I re-used the housing with a good Osram bare lamp.

Thanks for watching \o/
Jeez man! I never thought that trash lamps will cause such a huge plastic discolouration.... Another awesome video from Master Frank. Thanks a lot for sharing my friend!
Soo much heat! That IR block coating keeps a lot of the heat out. If it get in there, you start cooking things, plastic first, metal second. Never a good thing. Metal and plastic taste terrible cooked. Or raw for that matter.
Could have been my after market lamp that cooked my DMD in my Acer X110 after only 1 year. Wouldn't have supprised me, didn't have a clue back then though haha.
Its amazing how hot these projectors can get, having just one fan surprised me. Another simple fix, cheers Frank.
Somewhere on a VHS tape there is a video of me and a few friends cooking or at least re-heating a cheese steak sandwich with a halogen studio lamp. This was back in the early 90s in our TV production club. I recall it heated the sandwich thoroughly and almost melted the chair.
@@FixitFrank Nice electric bills to match I'd imagine.
You are a god-send. My GT1080 Darbee was making clicky sounds and failed to start 3x before powering down with red error LEDs. New bulb didn't fix it. I followed your video, pulled out the color wheel, cleaned it, and noticed the black tape was dried and partially flecked off. I re-purposed some of the black tape that was already within the projector (covering some ribbon cable connectors - assuming those aren't strictly necessary), cut it to size, and placed it on top of the missing portion. Boots up fine. I'll let it run as long as this fix works, but at least now I know how to replace the color wheel when the time comes. Many thanks!
P.S. I promise not to buy Amazon bulbs from now on. That's another take-away I got from your video. ;)
Awesome!! Great job!! That tape should hold up fine for now. It may come off again, but at that point you can get a new wheel or try some "stove/engine" paint and draw the mark on with that. The only thing it does is break the IR beam for the index sensor. Any matte finish, higher temp handing material would work. I would not use electrical tape personally but I have heard of people using it and it working. I think the glue gets too soft when it's hot personally.
Thanks for letting me know the video helped out! That is exactly why I post these!
Thanks for making this video, great to be able to follow your steps when it came to replacing a grinding colour wheel on my 1080e!
Using your video I able to replace the color wheel in our Optima 1080. Thank you for the video and the detail expressed in it!
This comment made my monday. Thank you so much!
Where did you get your color wheel for the Optoma GT1080? I got one off of Amazon which says it was meant for this model but it was too big -- albeit, it looked used so may have been someone returned their broken one or something... but do you have a place where you got the right size from?
@@utsaxc We got it from Amazon.
Projector Optoma Color Wheel for Optoma HD141X HD180 HD25 HD26 HD230X GT1080 Smart UF55 UF65. Have had no problems with it since I put it in.
@@carltontrimble61 okay, that's the same model I bought. I think someone switched out their old one and returned it and then I ended up getting it because the one I got looked used and was the wrong size. I'll try again.
@@utsaxc Good luck. Amazon is usually pretty good about exchanges.
Thanks, your video helped me repair my projector.
I think I've made the same mistake in lamp purchase. The new one just doesn't seem to be bright.
The original had 2700hrs, so I'll put that back in to compare.
You're very welcome! I hope you are able to resolve the brightness.
Friend y really appreciate you're video 😃 In my case the colour wheel was fine ... But the adhesive was toast 😅 and make the same noise .... I make a trick and I no use a new adhesive .... Y just use a black permanent marker and for de moment works well done .... Today is 12/12/2022 .... I'll to tell you if this mark works .... Thanks my friend again for this video. Excuse me for my terrible grammar. From Bogotá Colombia 😀
Grammar is perfect! Nice work my friend!
Knock-off lamps. You get what you pay for. Keep away from them everybody. they do more harm than good. I tried the transformer tape but I still had to superglue it. High peed and centrifugal effect then to throw the tape off. You need to leave the tape for 24-48 hrs for the adhesive to cure and bond solid rock. Good video again. I have quite a few oem new c wheels. Let me know if you need any.
I tested the door switch on my darbee39 it wasn't it. not sure why c wheel or fans don't come on at all.
Como se limpian los filtros?
Thank you, I just swapped the lamp and wheel
Nice job!
What a coincidence, today I received a replacement fan for my gt1080darbee, the original fan was spinning "fine" but when I installed the new one, I noticed this one does adjust it's rpms after powering up, something the original fan wasn't doing anymore, so far the new fan has resolved the "fan locked" message that would pop up after about a minute of powering up the projector.
For anyone experiencing weird behavior on this model with their settings/lamp hours being reset all the time, in my case I eventually started seeing a fan locked message after powering up, this led me to replace the fan which fixed both the fan locked message AND the settings reset issue. Weird stuff.
It is impossible to get replacement lamps and parts for these so what choice do we have?
for the gt1080 darbee? they seem to still be around in the aftermarket. optoma is out of the lamp game though as far as I know. www.purelandsupply.com/optoma-projector-lamp_gt1080darbee.html for example.
Thanks for this. Struggling to open up the filter cover to clean the dust - apparently have to do this every three months. But also ours is making a terrible noise for about 5 minutes when we switch it on and we are trying to figure out why. ANy ideas?
You're welcome! I am willing to bet your color wheel index mark sticker has fallen apart. I have a video on an hd26 (short) where you hear the noise. If you check the shorts videos it's in there. If that sounds like yours then it's almost certainly the same thing. It's also super common. If you want to share a video of your projector making the noise I would be glad to check it for you
Frank thanks so much for your reply. It sounds pretty much the same - just took a vid now where could I send it to? Appreciate it
If you want to email it, send it to my email or you can upload it to youtube and paste a link for me. Whatever is easiest for you.
Is it possible to replace the fans in these projectors with something quieter? My room layout makes it necessary for my sitting position to be pretty close to the mounted projector and it's pretty loud. Watching your video makes me think I could easily get into the projector to access the fans.
hi, unfortunately its not an option. optoma designed these to be as quiet as possible but still move enough air. There are other specs to replacing fans that need to be met and so far all of the other options(noctua especially) will not work. Noctua fans don't move enough cfm(which is why they are quieter) and they do not have the same error reporting mechanism. Computers have a lot more room for variance in fans which is why you can switch them around. Projectors on the other hand have very specific cooling needs and if you change them, it almost always causes issues. Your best bet for noise would be looking into building a hush box. You can put noctua fans in those and that would work but you can't swap them into a projector. it will just throw a temp error and sit there.
I considered making a hush box that was open on the side opposite my seating position so I didn't have to mess with sourcing special glass. Do you have any tips for building a hush box? My ceilings are pretty low so I will have to keep it low profile. I was thinking about using AC infinity fans in the hush box to help control temps. I like the image of the optoma and the throw ratio is perfect for my room. I'm pretty locked into that throw ratio too so it's heard to just buy a different projector. @@FixitFrank
I replaced the bulb in this same projector, I turn it on and the bulb will turn on for a second then it will stop. Is this a color wheel issue or a bulb issue? The fan sounds normal and there is minimal dust. I have had it for 4 years without any issues
I would start by checking the color wheel for that index mark. Also check the sensor for dust covering it.
The color wheel controls the lamp. If the projector senses any abnormal behavior by the color wheel, it will shut down.
I'd start with that. check the wheel. You don't have to take it all apart, just remove the color wheel sensor and see if the sensor is dusty and you can also see if the wheel lost its index mark or not.
I suspect your issue is color wheel related more than lamp related. If the old lamp was not that old, you may be able to return the new lamp. If it was nearing the end of life, keep the new lamp and save the old for a spare.
I have multiple GT1080 Darbee's that are all experiencing powering off/overheating issues. Do you offer your repair services to the public? I would love to send them to you for repair if so.
Yes however I'm in the middle of moving locations. I don't have public info listed at the moment but if there is a way I can contact you or if you can check back on this comment next week (Monday). I should be able to get us connected.
Hi Frank ,What color wheel would you suggest for a Optoma gt1080 DLP
It depends on the version of the GT1080 if I recall correctly. I believe there are 3 variants and 2 use the same wheel and one does not. What I would suggest is remove it and take a picture. Then send that picture to the folks I use (gydz@timeprojectorlamp.com) and they can get you a new one. Otherwise, I would search ebay for your mode of GT1080 and add color wheel to the end.
Hello frank my UA-cam and Netflix symbols are usually red now they look orange is it the color wheel needed to be replaced if you can help me out it would be highly appreciated. TY
Hi Rudy, that does sound like a color wheel. Did you replace the bulb recently? And if so, did it still have the weird color prior to the new bulb?
I changed out my color wheel because the color is off. The color is correct but the spinning is super loud. It is possible that I got a defective color wheel?
Maybe, but I kind of don't think it is likely. I would check to make sure there isn't a wire or piece of tape or something that fell near it when you put it together. Double check your rubber washers on the back to verify one isn't pushed through and making it a little cock-eyed. I personally have never seen a new defective color wheel, but I would be wrong to say it is impossible. Go back over the projector and see if you can verify the source of the buzz. You can start it up without the lamp and the cover off to the side. I do know that foam under the wheel and the plastic around it can be warped and loose from heat. I have definitely seen the foam come loose and push against the wheel.
Rule out everything else first. Like I said, I wont say it is impossible. But it might just be a piece of the projector a little too close to the hub or the wheel.
I'd expect to hear more of a grinding than a buzzing if the hub was bad. If its buzzing/humming loudly look for stuff interfering with the wheel. If its grinding/scraping looks for metal near the wheel and if not, then take the wheel back out and hold the back while you start it up and hold it. You will know 100% then if its bad or not.
after thought: I did have one that the little metal bit on the end of the light tunnel somehow warped or shifted and was rubbing. I buzzed it back with a dremel (maybe half millimeter) and it was fine after that.
Good work by the way! Worse case you replace the wheel again. Either way the projector will be good as new.
@@FixitFrank It did end up being a defective color wheel. I put the old one back in to see if it produced the same sound and verify if the plastic washers were properly aligned. I couldn't get the old one to replicate the same sound so I got a replacement and it's back to working good as new. Thanks for making this video. It saved me a ton of money.
35:12 Where are my oreos?????? He he!
Double Stuffed or regular?
@@FixitFrank BOTH!!!!! :) :)
hey mr. frank, could you please help me?!! I just have two questions and you seem like an expert so i’m going to shoot my shot. So, i have an optoma HD39Darbee 1080p. i’ve had it for a couple years and use it for gaming. my problem is that it makes the room incredibly warm (with open, good airflow), so i was wondering if attaching a metal heat sink to the bulb top plate would help cool it down, and if that makes sense? ADDITIONALLY, could I upgrade the bulb if I wanted to??? like are LED bulbs better, or is there anything i can swap it for to make it better!
Projectors are hot. They make a good amount of heat. Adding a heatsink won't work. It's still making heat. And no there is no bulb upgrade. LEDs are far less efficient than arc lamps. Watt per lumen your current bulb is far brighter than an led of the same watts. You're only cooling options are for the room. Adding any cooling fans to the projector will just push the heat into the room more. That's why adding a heart(can't do that anyway) to a bulb won't work. The room is heated by the projector. You need to cool the room not the projector. That's how heat loading works. It's a little confusing to explain (I'm not a thermodynamics guy) but an Aircon or window fan is your only real option. Sorry I wish I had a more useful idea for you.
@@FixitFrank thank you! your response was plenty, that’s all i needed!
Do you have a parts link for the new color wheel? I think mine is creating a super high pitch noise, so I might just replace.
If it's this same model, you can email me. I have a few around, or you can contact the folks I use. Gydz@timeprojectorlamp.com , If you contact them, send a picture of the old wheel. That way they can make sure its correct.
Hello! A couple of years later but I’m looking too for a color wheel for this exact model. How could I contact you?
Como se cambia el filtro de polvo?
Optoma vende a menudo diferentes versiones en diferentes áreas del mundo. Es posible que los filtros no estén disponibles cuando este modelo se vende en el noreste de los Estados Unidos.
Hey frank i see that you retired, i was hoping i could send you mine to fix , can you refer me to anyone yoh trust?
I replaced both the bulb and the color wheel and im still getting the red as if im having bulb issues. The original issue was the original bulb blew and shattered, i cleaned the glass out of the inside.
I wish I was retired! I still have a pile of years ahead of me... I could look at it. Did you check the blower fan? Make sure it is free to rotate.
Any tips on where to look for a good replacement colour wheel for this model? Amazon is selling a few but the prices range from 25-125 bucks.
anywhere but amazon really. I can't stand them for projector parts. The vendors they use don't seem to be trustworthy, but amazon doesn't care because they get a piece of the sale. Voltarea on ebay(or his actual website), time electronics(gydz@timeprojetorlamp.com) or TSC parts(optoma). I wouldn't trust any projector parts from amazon. I have seen far too many that caused more problems than they solved.
Your video worked great for the tear-down and cleaning of my projector, unfortunately, the color wheel I purchased was mis-advertised as it was too large for my Optoma GT1080. Do you have any suggestions on where to get a reliable replacement for this?
Hi Albert! I do. Contact Crystal at Time electronics. Her email is gydz@timeprojectorlamp.com. They ship DHL and take Paypal so it's all safe. I've used them for a while now. Great company
34:24 I think it will work........ Fingers crossed of course...... MAYBE you should take cover!!!!!
@Denver Elon BOT ALERT!
I have exact same model, been running oem parts only and mine is even worse regarding the heat damage.
It had/has no large dust buildup and good ventilation around it. I cannot fathom how they can release such bad product on the market.....
I used to be a lot more positive about Optoma. Then maybe the last 2 years? Maybe more, they really have lost their appeal and their customer service. I have a video upcoming with a 4K UHD30 that had its DMD fail less than a week out of warranty. Optoma said they would fix it for owner... for $950.00.... He sent it to me and I'm sourcing a DMD now. His cost will be around 25% of their quote for a new DMD, less if he decides to go with a used but good DMD. I think it's time to put some pressure on companies in general to up their quality game.
@@FixitFrank ouch. I just replaced the colorwheel and lamp. Worked for 100h and the lamp just failed om me now. Hoppfully i can get the lamp on warranty was eyeing on the uhd35/38 because of 4k and low latency. But really hope i can make this one work until hopefully laser or led becomes standard for 4k.
Btw how did the DMD fail?
Also thanks for your videos. Great to have as a reference since the plastic crumbles just by looking at it wrong.
Most likely it ran a little hot. It's kind of dusty but in my opinion not that dusty. Heat seems to be the main cause of the failures. I read the datasheet from TI and 70c is the max temp the dmd wants. That was surprising to me. Makes more sense as to why the IR filters on the lamps are so important.
Why you changing it?
My Optoma wouldn't stay on. After 30sec it turns off and gives solid red lamp light and blinking power light. Lamp is a brand new. It started to do this with the old lamp, which is still working. Internet says it could be the color wheel or the dusty photo sensor. I cleaned them properly but still have the same issue. I think there is some kind of low buzzing noise from wheel, not sure. Do you think the wheel is the problem or what should I do?
I find that when they get that bad it's worth changing. Cleaning is always worth trying first. However if you changed the lamp assembly recently, I would make sure the lamp assembly has a good IR cut filter. Search my channel for the IR filter video. It explains why.
Hi, what dmd chip does this gt1080 projector have? Because I have the problem of white dots, thank you very much
There are a few possible part #s. Your best bet is to remove it and check the number. I think its a 1280-6138B but there are other numbers. I tend to only go by the part # on the chip itself to be safe.
Hi Frank, I have this projector that I was using for about 3 years. The bulb, as far as I can tell, went out. The colours would keep on changing when turned on and then the projector would turn off when with the lamp light flashing red. I tried to replace the bulb with an original OSRAM bulb but the project wouldn’t even turn on now and flashes the lamp light again. It did this with a different bulb as well.
The original bulb when I took it out. The white rubber where the connector tie to the bulb was brittle and not like rubber. Don’t know if this was just due to heat of the bulb. The cooling fan seems to be running fine and the projector is clean from inside.
What do you think it could be? I saw another video from you where you replaced the motherboard could that be the issue on mine one too?
Hello! It sounds to me that your color wheel is the issue. The flashing colors and lamp shut down are a dead give away. However, be sure to either use your original lamp assembly and replace the bare bulb (Osram) or with a full assembly from a reputable seller (not Amazon). There is a special optical filter on the lamp assembly lens that cheap lamps do not use. It can cause lots of problems. The glass on the lamp assembly should have an obvious reddish color to the glass. If it's greenish it is not good. Must be the reddish tint. Do a search on my channel for HD26 color wheel and you will see the steps. The hd26 and gt1080 are identical in that regard.
Hi Frank is the color wheel in the Optoma GT1080 the same as the color wheel in the Optoma GT1080 Darbee?
Thanks dalton for asking! And reffering me to his video, im going to probably buy the tape he is reffering to and try that out. Waiting till tommorw so i can make sure i have a pair of gloves.
I cannot for the life of me get the top off, i got both clips opened but right by the bulb area it wont come off, no matter how much force, the only thing i can think of is that some of the plastic may have melted it, only thing i can think is to have one friend on one side and me pull from the other but worried ill break something
Hi Felton, I don't think so but let me double check. They use different lamp assemblies for sure but I'll double check on the wheel.
Black high temp paint works too. Stove touchup paint for instance.
Which clips are being a chore for you?
It looks like the clip right next to the bulb shield , is it possible that it melted in place?
I have the same projector a few days ago I got a message that I need to clean the dust filter but I don't know how to do it or where it is, could you help me with that?
Hmm. Some models did ship with filters. It would be on the side if its installed. If not, you might have a fan problem that is manifesting as a filter. Check the menu and see if there is a 'filter timer' you can reset. It might be a model that was meant to have a filter but then was decided not to ship with one. They only ship with filters in areas that are known to be extra dusty.
@@FixitFrank Thank you very much for the help I don't see any part where you can see a filter. in the menu I will reset to remember filter change.
Optima eh415 help please.
Whats the problem?
Hey Frank,
Great video! Very informative. I have this exact same model projector and recently replaced the color wheel (with the help of this video). The projector worked fine for about a day before it started to make a loud electrical hum. After about a minute of humming, the lamp automatically shuts off and a service message pops up. Any thoughts on what went wrong? Should I try reinstalling the color wheel and hope for the best? Does the color wheel need to be synced in some fashion? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!
An electric hum is not something I can recall experiencing. Is it possible it's a mechanical cause and it sounds like an electric hum? If you can share a video where I can hear , that would be great. I have a few theories but they are dis jointed so I'd like to narrow it down.
@FixitFrank I uploaded a short 30 sec video of it to my account. Please take a look whenever you are able. Thanks!
I was wondering if it is the color wheel that needs replacing if I see black and white after the projector overheated once and shut down. I do hear a noise everytime it starts up but I assumed it was the fan. Appreciate your help if you know what's wrong. Thanks!
If you have a GT1080 or similar chassis, I would be very suspect of the color wheel. It seems that this series has that as a known issue. So much that I keep wheels in stock now. If you are around the 5 year mark or past that, then I would be highly suspicious of the wheel. They are roughly $40 so it is reasonable to replace and I suspect that will solve your issue. If you want to link a video of the noise, I can see if it sounds like a wheel issue.
@@FixitFrank thank you for your response. How can I purchase one from Canada?
@@FixitFrank I opened up the projector and the color wheel is shattered.
That will do it! I'd check eBay first since you might find a seller in Canada. If not, email my friend Crystal at Time Projector. Gydz@timeprojectorlamp.com She is really good and they ship DHL and take paypal. If they can't help you can email me. I think I have at least one if not more new wheels around for that model. It should be $40-60US on average. You could even try Optoma directly. I have had incredibly good experience purchasing from Optoma. You dont have to send the projector to them. They will sell you a wheel directly without having to be a service center which is nice of them to do.
Hi Frank what do you think of this particular model? I need a few for using with flight simulation. It's pretty popular among many simmers due to the low cost. Id love to run 4k but 1080 is less taxing and we are using 3 in an array with a 3080 video card. I saw below that you think Optoma's quality is lacking now? What would be a better option?
It's weird. When Optoma works they are good. It's like the design engineers were over ruled by bean counters(I'm sure this is a surprise to everyone...). The GT1080 seems to be built pretty well for the most part for a projector in that price range. They will have normal failures like lamps, fan and color wheels but the newer UHD series is the one that seems to be a lemon. I haven't worked on all of them yet but the folks I've talked to with them all complain about the dmd failing and the main board overheating.
Being that you want a gt1080, the only thing you might want to try is some extra fans to get more air moving through. Having three close together (sims are so cool) would increase the heat but I don't think anything is inherently going to fail like the newer projectors. So far every gt1080 I have seen had a normal, consumable part fail. No main boards(well one but it was a lightening strike) just fans lamps, scratched lenses and color wheels.
@@FixitFrank Thank you. I think I'll find a used one and just replace parts as needed. I'm use to under the hood work and can solder if needed. Looks like the main replacement parts are all plug and play anyway. I still have an old InFocus IN-72 720p projector too that was great for it's day. I've been wanting to see if I can get a color wheel and lamp for it.
You should be totally fine then. There is nothing that should stop you. Also, the curved main lens is the same lens used on the old Smart UF55 which can be had pretty cheap. See the xmas miracle vid I posted on one of these. that was a trip...
Hey man I received the new color wheel and installed it, now all of a sudden after putting it all back together, no power, any advice?
Never mind it was the the one cord not being pushed into enough, i now have power but the same issue before the new color wheel was installed it goes from blue right back to red and doesnt make any noises. Its acting as of i havnt swapped out the old color wheel for the new one
Did you replace your lamp anytime recently? If so, was it from Amazon? a bad UV/IR filter can cause these symptoms or a dirty/problematic color wheel index sensor.
Thanks Frank for this amusing video. My Optoma HD39Darbee also makes such a high noise when I start it up, but after a few minutes the sound is silent again. My lamp is 1000 hours old / new? What I don't understand is why you put a piece of tape on the color wheel, is this also on a new color wheel? Why does the color wheel make such a high noise? My color wheel therefore makes that high sound for a very short time and does not disturb me. Is that noise getting worse and when should it be replaced? Where did you buy that color wheel (if I ever need to replace it)? I think I will have to do it myself because sending it to you is not a good idea, you are in the USA and that takes way too long i think .... Thanks in advance.
The old color wheel had its index mark fall off from the heat. I replaced it with a new piece to make sure that was the issue and not something else. That is how the projector knows where the color wheel is during its rotation. The high speed noise was the motor trying to find its place but being unable to.
I bought this wheel from China. If your wheel starts to get worse, it is easy to change like you saw. Shipping it to me would be way too expensive in just shipping. You will be able to tell because the image will flicker colors and possibly shut down. Or if the vibration noise gets real bad. Ebay is still a good source, but if you are in the UK, you might want to reach out to ChessGuru. He may have some already. No need to import them.
@@FixitFrank Thanks for the clear explanation! I come from the Netherlands so England is fine to possibly order.
@@bronco9973 Please do not hesitate to contact me if you do end up replacing the wheel and have questions. I would be more than happy to assist.
@@FixitFrank Oke thanks😁
Hey Frank. First of all, thank you for your videos. Very helpful!
I have a ViewSonic PJD7820HD that seems to be fine upon turning it on, but after ~6 minutes, I get some serious color strobing. There is no unusual noise, nor any trouble codes as far as I can tell. Any advice?
Hi Mike, You're welcome! There are a few possibilities but going off of what you types, I suspect your color wheel is going bad, or the sensor is dirty, or if the lamp assembly was changed recently and it was a cheaper option, the ND filter on the lamp assembly is incorrect. There are some other possible causes but those are the most common I have seen.
@@FixitFrank Thanks Frank. I ended up taking it apart and cleaning the color wheel as one of your other videos demonstrated. (and i blew out the fans and everything too)
So far its been running ~30 minutes and no issues. I'm inside right now though. Planning on taking it outside in a bit to see if the heat makes the problem come right back.
Hi Mike, How did it pan out for you?
@@FixitFrank i used it inside for a couple of hours and it seemed good. I also let it run for 30 minutes outside while it was ~80° out and it was still good. I guess the final test will be when i get a chance to watch a movie on it outside hopefully next week.
Hey frank i checked the fans they are moving freely, do you have a business page or an adress i can send it too?

I've watched a few of your videos on how to fix some issues, I tried replacing the bulb and the colour wheel but still no joy. Mine made a similar noise to this one with the colour wheel making a loud noise, now it just seems to tick when it's trying to boot up and the light doesn't come on. Any ideas?
Sounds like the wire is plugged in upside down. Double check that.
@@FixitFrank thanks. By the way I wanted say the videos are brilliant, really easy to follow and I've managed to take apart a projector and put it back together (something I never thought was possible!)
In regards to mine, I've rejigged the wires and put everything back together.
Now when I turn it on the blue power light flashes, fan starts working, and I think I can hear the colour wheel whirring quietly, but the lamp/bulb never lights up. It does this cycle about 3 times then red flashing light on the power and red steady light on the bulb. I'm so determined to fix it now as I've invested so much time into it! It's become a personal battle now haha. Thanks again for your help and videos
Wish i could have mailed this to you a month ago, still hoping to do so asap , everytime i post my email adress on the comments, it gets deleted
Yeah, it wont let you for good reason. Scammers and spambots harvest emails from UA-cam threads so they block the addresses. That is why I posted the link to Imgur. Just go to the about page on my channel, look for the email section, click the "I'm not a robot" and then the email is visible.
photos.app.goo.gl/9sk3sdDJwQ8FnyXdA try viewing this. It shouldn't ask for you to install an app.
@@FixitFrank i wish i could send you a screenshot of my view of your youtube channell about me section, but it does not have that option only your paypal info and patron page, it’s basically the same thing as your screenshot shows, but no “email “ section
@@FixitFrank log out of your account, and go to your channel and go to about me, you should see the same thing im seeing, everything thats in your screenshot EXCEPT there is no “ details” section , in to the point where im just going to paypal you $1 so i can at least get your email lol
Following up
I have one of these with the same problem. What is your email so I can shoot you a message?
its on the about page, about halfway down. I think you have to be on PC though because it doesnt show on mobile. I'd post it here but dang scammers pick it up.
@@FixitFrank found it after I posted this comment. Sent you an email.
