Hi guys, please can you offer any advice. I bought my projector about 7-8 years ago and it's suddenly stopped working.
When I turn it on it has a flashing blue light on the back LED and no light comes out the bulb.
I recently bought a new bulb as I'd not used the projector for 2.5 years and it had been in storage. The projector wouldn't produce an image, the image was distorted so I bought a new bulb but it still didn't work. So after watching YouTube and reading online I saw many people say give it a clean as it could be dust on the DLP colour wheel. So I cleaned out all the dust and there was quite a lot of dust inside! Then suddenly the projector was working great again!
I watched Terminator Dark Fate Tuesday night this week and used the projector for about 5 hours. The next morning I turned it on and we watched Frozen 2 with my daughter and all was great. But then I went out the room and came back an hour later whilst leaving the projector on and the image was gone.
So since Wednesday morning it's not worked since. I tried plugging into different power sources in different rooms of the house and I also tried leaving it off for a while but it's made no difference, it still won't boot up.
I looked at the manual online and it says a blue flashing flight indicates "Power on (Warming)" but I'm not sure what that means or what that's trying to tell me?
Do you guys have any idea about what could be wrong? And any tips on how to fix it?
The projector is Optoma HD33, I love this projector, it cost me £1300 and it's the best electronic device I ever bought so I'd love to get it working again.
Thanks in advance.
