3.3 Start-up Sequence Troubleshooting

C H E C K
P O IN T
Always check the Epson Insider web site for the latest Support Bulletins for this
product. Support Bulletins provide up-to-date supplemental information on how to
troubleshoot and repair the product. Go to http://www.epsoninsider.com.
The following troubleshooting steps can be used with most Epson video projectors:
1. Plug the projector into AC power and listen for the power supply fan.
1.1 The power supply fan runs constantly while the projector is plugged into a live AC outlet. If the
fan can be heard running, then the power supply in the projector is probably working properly
(with very few exceptions).
1.2
If the fan does not begin to run when the projector is plugged in, check and replace the Power
Supply. See Section 4.2.18 on page 82.
2. Observe the P Power Status LED.

2.1
Immediately after plugging the projector into AC power, the P Power Status indicator LED will
briefly flash in an amber color, then will turn solid (constant) amber. Once the P Power Status
LED is solid amber, the projector has checked main board functions and loaded its basic
instruction set from ROM. In general, the main board is functional at this point and is not likely to
be a cause of failure in the projector.
2.2
If the Fan is running but the P Power Status LED does not light or does not stop flashing, the MA
Board and Optical Engine need to be replaced. See Section 4.2.11 on page 73 and Section
4.2.21 on page 88.
2.3
Once the Power Status LED is amber and not blinking, the projector is in sleep mode - it has
performed power on diagnostics. The projector is ready to be powered on with the [Power] button
on the remote control or the control panel of the projector. This will activate the power-on
sequence from the ROM instructions.
3. Press the [Power] button and listen for intake and exhaust fans. The intake and exhaust fans start operating in high speed mode as soon as a power on request is made. This means the power on process has
started properly.
4. Observe the P Power Status indicator. If the power status indicator is blinking green, the projector is
warming up and trying to strike the lamp.
4.1 If the projector can be switched on with the Control Panel, but not the Remote Control, the
Remote Control batteries need to be replaced.
4.2
Conversely, if the Remote Control powers on the projector, but the Control Panel does not, there
is a problem with the Control Panel on the main unit. Try reconnecting the SW (Switch) Cable, or
replace the SW Board Assembly. See Section 4.2.8 on page 71.
4.3
If the Fans do not pick up speed when power is turned on, there is either a malfunction of one or
more fans, or a malfunction of the MA Board.
Observe the Status LEDs. A properly functioning MA Board can indicate a fan error on the Status
LEDs: the mo Lamp Temperature indicator LED will flash red at 1 second intervals, and the P
Power Status indicator will remain solid amber. If a fan error is indicated, check or replace the
fans. See Section 4.2.14 on page 79, Section 4.2.20 on page 86 and Section 4.2.24 on page 91.
4.4
If the fans are slow and no error is indicated by the LEDs, replace the MA Board and Optical
Engine.

5. Watch for light output. If there is no light output after approximately 40 seconds, observe
the mo Lamp Temperature indicator. See the table below for error indication definitions
and take the appropriate remedial steps in the order provided.

it is not broken, reinstall it.
6.2
If the Lamp Cover Switch is broken, replace it. See Section 4.2.26 on page 93.
7. If the mo Lamp Temperature Indicator is lit solid red, then there is a lamp failure, lamp
switch error (Lamp Cover Switch, Lamp Thermistor), or Ballast failure. Check and replace
those components.
7.1 See Chapter 2, Section 2.9.1 on page 35 for an overview of the switches and their
locations.

7.3
To replace the Ballast, see Section 4.2.18 on page 82 and Section 4.2.19 on page 84.
8. If there is light output, look for video output. If there is no video output, check the video source selection on the projector, the cables connected to the video source and the video source itself.
8.1 If the wrong video source is selected on the projector, change it to the correct input selection.
8.2
If there still is no video output, test the video source by connecting it to another output device. If
there is a problem with the video source, no output will be seen on any display device regardless
of cables or settings used.
8.3
If there is a problem with the cable, the video source should fail with all display devices that use
that cable type.
8.4
If the video source works with another display device there is a problem with the video input
ports of the projector. Check and replace the I/F Board (Section 4.2.13 on page 78), and if there is
still no video output, replace the MA Board and Optical Engine (Section 4.2.11 on page 73 and
Section 4.2.21 on page 88).

output from the projectors internal speaker.
1.1
If there is no sound, first check that the [AV Mute] button is not muting the sound, and that the
volume is not turned completely down.
1.2
If there is still no sound, connect another speaker device, such as headphones or external
speakers, to the host computer audio to verify that the fault is not with the source computer
1.3
If the projectors speaker appears to be at fault, open the upper case and reconnect the speaker
cable to CN1701 on the MA Board. See Figure 3-1 on page 55 for a diagram of connectors on the
MA Board.
1.4
If reconnecting the cable does not solve the problem, replace the speaker.
1.5
Replace the IF Board if there is no sound from the new speaker.
1.6
If there is still no sound, replace the MA Board and Optical Engine.
2. Once the speaker is working, test the volume adjustment, tone adjustment and [AV Mute] function correctly. If not, replace the following in the order below, checking the results at each step:
IF Board
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for Video and S-Video source equipment. Remember to independently verify the
functionality of the source equipment by connecting it to other display devices capable of sound output.
Also remember to press the [Source] button on the projector to select the appropriate test source.
4. Connect external speakers to the projectors audio output connector. If no sound is output, replace the
IF Board.
3.4.4 Control Panel

1. Test the following buttons on the Control Panel:
1.1
The [Power] button should turn the projector on and off.
1.2
The [Menu] button should cause the menu to be displayed by the projector.
1.3
The [Source] button should switch between Computer/Component Video, S-Video and Video input
sources.
Troubleshooting
53
1.4
The [Esc] button should, depending on where you are in a menu, either cancel the current
function, or return one level up to the previous menu much like a back key.
1.5
The [Enter] key should select a menu item.
1.6
The [Keystone] buttons should adjust the image vertical display angle distortion.
2. If any of these keys fail to work, check and replace the following in the order below, checking functionality at each stage:
2.1 Reconnect the SW Board Cable to CN400 on the MA Board. Remember that CN400 is a locking
connector, and be sure that it is seated firmly in the connector before re-locking it. Check that the
other end of the cable is connected properly to the SW Board (Control Panel). See Section
4.2.8 on page 71.
2.2
Replace the SW Board.
2.3
Replace the MA Board and Optical Engine
3.4.5 Remote Control Operation

1. Check the functionality of all buttons on the infra-red (IR) Remote Control. If the buttons do not
operate normally, check and replace the following in the order below. Check functionality at each stage
before proceeding to the next.
1.1 First, verify that the projector operates normally using the on-board Control Panel.
1.2
Check that the Remote Control is being operated with a clear line-of-sight to the projector, and
within the specified range of 20 ft. Test both front and rear IR sensors on the projector.
1.3
Check whether functionality returns if the Remote Control is operated very close to the projector.
1.4
Replace the batteries in the Remote Control and repeat steps 1.2 and 1.3.
1.5
Replace the Remote Control and recheck. Check the remote control with another projector to
verify that it operates normally.
1.6
Test whether there is any difference in functionality between the Front IR sensor and the Rear IR
sensor. Check the cable connections for each. If the cable connections appear to be OK, replace
the sensors:
The Front IR sensor is on the RC Board, connected by cable to CN603 on the MA Board. See
The Rear IR sensor is on the IF Board Assembly, which is connected by cable to CN600 on the
MA Board. Connector CN600 is on the underside of the MA Board, so removal of the MA Board
will be necessary to check the connection or replace the IF Board Assembly. See Section
4.2.11 on page 73 through Section 4.2.13 on page 78.
2. If the above repairs do not solve the problem, replace the MA Board and Optical Engine.

1. Abnormal noise
1.1 Check for foreign objects around the Exhaust Fan, Intake Fan and Power Supply Fan.
1.2
Check whether the noise is being generated by the Power Supply (e.g. pulse transformer
vibration, etc.) or Ballast, and replace them if necessary.
2. Projector overheating
2.1 Check and replace the Air Filter.
2.2
Check the Exhaust Fan, Intake Fan and Power Supply Fan. Clean or replace as necessary.
2.1
Check and replace the Lamp Thermistor or Safety Switch.
2.2
If none of the above fix the overheating problem, replace the Optical Engine and MA Board.
3. Smoke or abnormal odor

3.1
Check cables for charring or discoloration. First, correct the cause of the overheating problem,
and then replace all discolored or damaged cables.
3.2
Burning dust causes abnormal odors, so be sure the air filter is clean and undamaged, and make
sure the Intake Duct is clean. Check for excessive heat.
4. Power Supply Problems

4.1 Determine whether the problem is being caused by components inside the power supply unit, or
whether it is being caused by some external factor. To determine this, check factors such as
output voltage, internal temperature, appearance of components, odors and smoke.
4.2
If the cause is judged to be an internal problem, replace the power supply unit. If the newlyreplaced power supply unit also has a problem and the symptoms are the same as before, then the
cause of the problem is probably some external factor. Eliminate the external factor that is
causing the problem.
4.3
If the power supply unit is recoverable but is not working properly, for example if high
temperatures are causing the thermostat to shut down the power supply, or if the overcurrent
protection circuit has tripped, then there is no need to replace the power supply unit.
4.4
If the power supply unit is not recoverable and is not working properly, for example if an
overcurrent has repeatedly blown the fuse, replace the power supply unit.
4.5
If there is a problem with the power supply fan, the power supply will shut down after several
minutes of operation, and the LED indicators will switch off. If that happens, replace the power
supply unit.

4.1.3 Projector-Specific Service Precautions

C H E C K
P O IN T
The Optical Engine and Main (MA) Board are paired together as a single service
part. Neither is available separately. For service that requires the replacement of
either the MA Board or the Optical Engine, both components must be replaced
together.
The component parts of the Optical Engine require mechanical installation
positions to be adjusted in relation to each other. In addition, the control circuit
also has its own unique characteristics, such as display signal output drivers, that
differ from projector to projector. There are also unique differences in each optical
system mechanism, such as in the light valves.
In order to obtain the optimum display, it is necessary to eliminate these
differences in electrical and mechanical characteristics as well as to make
mechanical adjustments. The various correction values are set at the time of
shipment from the factory and are stored in ROM on the MA Board.
Always replace the Optical Engine and MA Board together as a matched pair.
Do not disassemble the Optical Engine.
Do not replace the component parts of the Optical Engine with parts from other
Optical Engines.
60
Tools and Equipment
Points to Note When Working

Detailed points to note are given in each section, so be sure to read each section thoroughly before
beginning the disassembly procedure. Below are several general points which should be noted.
When you disassemble the projector, the dust in and around parts such as the fans and air filter may get
transferred to other parts such as the light valves. This is likely to have an adverse effect on the quality
of projected images. Accordingly, check whether any of the fans, ducts or filter parts are dusty or dirty,
and use a vacuum cleaner to clean them first before carrying out disassembly work.
The Optical Engine and the circuit boards are very sensitive to static electricity. Store them inside staticproof bags once they have been removed from the projector.
When you perform any of the following operations, check that there is no dust or dirt on these components or on any lens or glass surfaces before installation. If any such contamination is found, clean it off
using isopropyl alcohol.
Optical engine removal
Lamp inner unit removal
Air filter removal
The speaker unit contains a permanent magnet, so keep it away from any storage media such as floppy
disks and magnetic cards.
The Optical Engine is very sensitive to vibration and shocks, so handle it with care.
Do not disassemble any components (such as the power supply unit) which do not have express disassembly procedures described in this Service Manual.
