Finding the correct lamp

Although their bargain prices are tempting, these cheap knock-offs will damage the sensitive mechanisms in your Acer H5360 projector.

    Good morning,

    My Acer H5360, Model number H7P0901 does not turn off anymore.

    When trying to turn on, light blue flashes and there’s a bit sign. After reading the manuals and some posts, I guess this points to a lamp life problem.

    I have some doubts since it’s slightly different error message as explained in the manual. I don’t get steady red light. In the other hand, I never changed the lamp and the projector is quite old already and it has been lately extensively used. Also, the lamp has a strange angle and some kind of black stripes.

    My questions are the following:
    Will it be enough to replace the lamp or shall I replace the lamp module?
    Is there any other mean to make sure that the problem comes from the lamp?
    Is there a mean to manage the projector (access the menu, settings,…) from an external source even if the projector does not turn on?

    Also, any other help or tip will be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance and congratulations for the extensive information available!

      Hi Pablo,
      You should replace the entire lamp module. The lamp has reached end of life and has probably burnt out so the projector has shut off to protect itself. Some people just replace the actual bulb and reuse the plastic cage. However, if your projector is an older model you will probably only be able to find the whole lamp module. In this case getting a generic lamp will be ok for an older model. Start off replacing the lamp in order for the projector to turned on
