Hi Birendra,
It sounds like your lamp timer was letting you know how many hours where left on the lamp. The other problem could be your color wheel. I would recommend heading over to our forum where there are our experts who can help you narrow down the problem. You can be reached at http://www.fixyourdlp.com/forum/.

When I checked the lamp before cleaning it..the lamp hours it’s said 530 equivalent lamp hours… I don’t know what that means. But the lamp is new and hardly used.. And one more while cleaning the lamp I took out all the parts of projector dusted and cleaned the lenses as well and I did put them back together as it was checked all the wires carefully attached it and the next whe I power on the projector the problem started., it turns on with power flashing green and after some time the speed of the fan increases as the power and lamp led turns steady red stays there for a moment and then shuts it’s self off.. Plzz help..

Hi Birenda,
It sounds like your lamp is finished and needs to be replaced. It might be the dust made the lamp life shorter since all those light are indications that the lamp has reach end of life. How old is the lamp in your projector? It may be time for a new one.

Hi Gerrit,
Did you reset the lamp timer? If you didn’t do this last step then the projector won’t turn because it will think the lamp is still the old one and has reached end of life.

Hi Martin,
This sounds like a counterfeit lamp problem. Many counterfeits don’t have the right calibration or right material. They can cause the projector to heat up very quickly and cause the TEMP LED light to come on. The solution is to replace the lamp with a Philips guaranteed lamp. The other to check is that your filters are clean and not clogged because this can stop the air circulating in the projector will cause it to overheat.

Hi Ayub,
Have you reset the lamp timer on the projector? Until that is reset to zero, the projector will think it’s still operating with an old projector that has reached end of life. You should also check that the lamp has been properly installed with the lamp screws properly installed. Also check the lamp cover is secure. If you bought a counterfeit lamp, you may be having issues with it’s connectors not being able to work with the projector. Hope this help.
