I installed a new lamp on my pro350 optima projector. When I turn on the light goes green and immediately turns red: no light from lamp. How am I suppose to reset lamp timer if no light to see projection?
Hi Joy,
Two things can be happening:
1. The lamp was not installed properly. Try taking it out an re-installing making sure all the connections are secure and that the lamp screws are not too tight.
2. The lamp maybe a counterfeit that wasn’t properly calibrated to the projector’s optics so the projector can’t read it. Where did you buy the lamp? Was it from an OEM manufacturer? I would contact them and ask for a new lamp or a refund.
Hope these suggestions help.

Hey buddy, I changed my lamp bought the original one from amazon and change the bad lamp. but when I try to turn on the projector the green power light is flashing on and on and on but never turns on the projector. any ideas what it can be?
Hey Georgio,
First, did you reset the lamp timer to zero? If not, the projector thinks the lamp is still dead and will not turn on. Also check that the lamp from Amazon is an OEM lamp and not counterfeit. That can also be a problem with fake lamps claiming to be compatible and then not working. Try the lamp timer first and then check the lamp company and return the lamp if it continues to fail.
