BENQ W1070 Disassembly - Changing Lamp and Cleaning Blower Fan After Light Exploded

[@LibertyG100]

As everybody else in the comments, thank you! Even 7 years later, your videos keeps helping people! ;)

[@GaborHuszar]

People like you make the internet great. Had the same problem but would have never dared to take it apart without your guidance.

[@kamberkalia4513]

I’m still nervous to take it apart LOL

[@johnm9709]

Absolutely brilliant and such a perfect and unselfish antidote to all the vile hate on the internet. This is exactly what happened to my projector. I followed your instructions despite being a bit daunted by how complex it looked to do. Found the fan, opened it up and removed secveral chunks of bulb glass. Working once more. Very satisfying thanks to you taking the time to post up this. Thanks once more.

[@jasonholding459]

Just wanted to say thank you like so many other people here. This was exactly my problem and I was ready to bin the projector. With little experience and watching the video I did pull it all apart and there was a lot of dust and two glass fragments in the fan. Great video and this should give me another 4000hrs of viewing. Well done.

[@bobschulz2105]

Just had mine fail in the same way - bulb burst, replaced, fan failure. Followed this video and I am back in business. Many thanks!

[@uglyflag5487]

Thanks for the video. My BenQ is up and running again. Had a problem with vertical, white lines, but I gave it a few good bangs and now it works perfectly!

[@AlfredSterphoneIII]

Thank you times a hundred. This gave me the confidence to dive in and fix this issue. I would have never known where “fan 3” was.

[@koks70]

I had the exact same issue and your video helped me a lot! I would not consider myself very skilled when it comes to technical stuff but now I feel like Howard Wolowitz... :D I just finished reassembling the projector and so far it seems to work! Thank you very much!

[@OscarBaulo]

As many others have told you before, Thank you very much. After eight years and a half, my bulb has explode and, I had the same "blower" issue that you explain in your video... thanks to which, i have just fix it, and (once cleaned of little crystal pieces) my projector is runing again... Thanks again, I hope it lasts for many more years

[@NewbComputerBuild]

Thank you for the kind comment and I'm glad it's running! Since this video, I'm still using mine and so far it hasn't happened again, so I hope yours lasts just as long.

[@RamClaw]

Thank you so much, fixed my W1070+. The bulb exploded 6 months ago but we removed it for cleaning, when we reinstalled it. It came up with the same error code after 3 minutes. After taking the fan out and cleaning it. The projector worked as good as new. Thank you!

[@RobertSirre]

Thanks you very much for your encouragement. I was in the same situation: exploded lamp, fitted a new one (Osram bulb only), after which the projector would not stay on for more than 3-5 minutes. I did not really encounter much debris in the bottom fan, but I clean out all parts anyway. During the first assembly I forgot to connect one cable, but after second attempt all seemed to work fine. I'd say all in all this took me about 1-1.5 hours.

[@ecreipecnahc]

Great video! Just got done cleaning out my w1070 after a bulb popped. A couple comments.... 1. The black "strap" on the corner of the PCB sits on TOP of the PCB. I noticed when you re-assembled you put it underneath the PCB. I doubt it is a problem, but just thought I should point it out. 2. A 5mm socket works perfectly for installing and removing the hex head screws around the VGA and RS232 ports. Thanks for taking the time to make this video!

[@NewbComputerBuild]

Great feedback! I hadn't noticed putting the black strap on top of the PCB, so great catch. And yes thank you, a 5mm socket would have been much more efficient than using the small pliers I used for those hex screws, great to know for anyone who's going to take their unit apart.

[@alejandroalcantara4065]

I can't thank you enough for this great video! Obviously it solved my problem at the first try, and I would have never managed to dismount the projector by myself. Big thanks!!

[@Johnrick90]

Thank you! You saved my projector! Really. I thought my hope was lost after asking for a replacement lamp and that one didn't work either..❤

[@jaredhumphrey]

I was about to give up on my new bulb until I saw your video. My blower had glass stuck from the explosion. Thank you!

[@mikep95133]

You saved my bacon!! New bulb was shutting down after 3 minutes. Found 5 pieces of glass in blower !!! Thanks !!!

[@NewbComputerBuild]

Glad to have helped!

[@jeannetteswan9017]

We had the same issue, but instead we turned our vacuum into a blower and blew into each vent opening. There were shards of glass and dust that came flying out. I would try this first before taking the projector apart. Thanks OP for the video and insights!

[@Kumari_44]

I was literally thinking of exactly this before taking it apart. I’m terrified that i’ll fuck up in putting it back together. And i say that as a person whose not even too bad at doing stuff like this usually.

[@julienturetti9459]

Sir, thank you for the vid.After more than 5000 hours my lamp exploded, i replaced it and had this heating issue. Checked the fans on the special menu and the third one was like "off". Teared the projector down thanks to your video, did a good cleaning of all the fans, found out some glass pieces were in this blower and blocked it, and i'm pleased to say my BenQ 1070w is as good as new =)

[@NewbComputerBuild]

So glad to hear it!

[@jogig3586]

Thank you! My lamp also exploded and i had the exact same issue. Glass pieces were literally stuck in this fan and blocked it from turning. But thanks to your video i was able to fix the projector. Thx

[@NewbComputerBuild]

I'm glad the video helped! Hopefully your projector is working like new :)

[@Dancing_Cow_909]

I was able to use this video for my BENQ MH630 Projector. Almost everything was the same throughout the process, aside from some wire connectors for fans and such. Much appreciated!

[@chrisbeardsley534]

Very helpful and solved the very same problem, amazed at how much dust was throughout the projector, gentle hoover worked well.

[@micdaotoronto]

I had the same problem and couldn't find any solutions until I see the video clip. Thank you very much

[@tinchoinvestmentsllc9449]

Thanks for the video. I had exactly the same problem. The lamp exploited. I changed the lamp but the projector was overheating after about 5min of using it. I had a piece of glass blocking the blower (fan 3). The fan was stuck with the glass debris. After cleaning it and reassemble the projector is working perfectly. Thank you!

[@paulychada]

Thank-you so much - A quick check in the secret menu (Menu then Source+Enter) proved that the inside fan was not spinning and your guide gave me the confidence to open it up and remove the glass in the fan. Mine was a HT1075 but the projector is near identical. THANKYOU!

[@dj9294]

Oh man, I can't thank you enough. My bulb also exploded and I had glass in the blower fan. I was able to follow your video and solve the problem. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video, you saved my ass.

[@NewbComputerBuild]

You are very welcome.

[@TyresOFlaherty]

Thank you for making this video. My bulb popped this morning, so while I wait a few days for the replacement, I'm going to give this a shot, I don't want to take any chances with the new bulb.

[@NewbComputerBuild]

Not a problem and I wish you luck and almost guarantee there is glass in the blower fan. And if not...at least you can get the clumps of dust out :)

[@TyresOFlaherty]

Didn't get as many pieces as you did, but there were 2 good chunks of glass in there. Thanks again for the video! Now I just have to wait 2 more days for the replacement bulb to get here, but now I know it'll be protected by cleaned out fans

[@NewbComputerBuild]

Awesome to hear, and even those 2 chunks of glass would have stopped the blower from spinning. Glad to have helped.

[@TyresOFlaherty]

Dang it.....put the bulb back in, and now the projector won't even turn on. No lights or anything at all when I plug it in......any ideas?

[@TyresOFlaherty]

Got it figured out. Back in business!!

[@LostInSpace500]

Just followed your Video and repaired my W1070. Thanks a lot for putting this online! Damn hidden Fan3 - they really could have made that more accessible. What also helped me was how to get into the Service menu to check the fan-Speed. Just select the last menu item (info) and press 3x up+down and then enter. In the Service menu on the 2nd item you can find the fan Speeds.

[@NewbComputerBuild]

I agree, damn hidden small Fan3. Also it's surprising how even that small fan can affect temperature so greatly that the unit overheats within minutes. Wow and thank you for the tid bit on how to check for the fan speeds, I didn't know that either. Glad you got your W1070 all fixed up!

[@aposapes]

@@NewbComputerBuild hi bro i have same problem on my w1070 projektor the lamp overheating so mach like a pan is this solution for me to? OR I HAAVE OTHER PROBLEM?

[@Riddiculousness]

Amazing, this fixed mine also. I din't have broken glass but just dusty fans in the end. If you have replaced your lamp and still the lamp light goes red (despite the new bulb), do this video!

Another happy viewer. Thanks for saving me the hassle of trying to send it in for repair.

[@NewbComputerBuild]

Glad to hear it :)

[@xa-xii4865]

@@NewbComputerBuild Was there mercury in the bulb? If so, did you expose yourself to it? Residue mercury still present will evaporate in the heat and the fan(s) will make it an airborne hazard. Best to run the projector outside for 10 mins and let it cool sufficiently.

[@supdudebro13]

You rock! Just solved the same bulb explosion / fan issue thanks to youtube saviors like you.

[@pjtucker3170]

Awesome video! Same here with the popped bulb. Took it apart and blew it all out. Fan speed now operating at target setpoint and projector functioning fine. Thanks for the assistance!

[@MickeyKnox]

I disassembled my projector as you did in this very video - in fact I had my laptop on the table while I did it and watched your video. But I have to say it's not that complicated - once you lose the fear before it, it's pretty straight forward (and backwards when you re-assemble it). Unfortunately it doesn't fix MY problem, I still get the LAMP-error, so my hope is, that I bought a bad lamp and get a working one in return. But no matter what the future will bring, I have to say, I'm pretty proud of myself that I did it (and it didn't explode on the first test) because 2 weks ago I would have never thought that I would be able to do that without destroying the entire thing :) So thank you anyways :)

[@GizmoMaltese]

Did you get a new bulb? Did that fix the problem?

[@MickeyKnox]

yes, but it's still broken ... must be something more difficult :(

[@JohnCranberry23]

I have the same projector and my bulb exploded a few weeks ago. I got about 3500 hours. But I decided to by a Chinese ebay cartridge for $70 rather than $300. It was flickering after 2 minutes and after a few experiments I found that it works only in Cinema Mode. If I change the option to Normal or Bright it flickers. Weird. I also had to clean a the shattered glass out of my unit too. Glad to hear that yours blew up too.

[@KevinMetz]

Thank you! I also used this to fix my projector. I had no idea the exploding glass would do that.

[@victoor10]

Can you provide the link to purchase this lamp.

[@bradwhite6857]

[@ianbrown5365]

I’m having trouble getting the front panel off and your video skips out actually getting off. Could you please help as that’s the bit I’m struggling with. Thanks a million

[@MickeyKnox]

OMG ... my light bulb exploded last week, I ordered a new lamp and ... have the same problem. Projector starts but within a few seconds a get the LAMP signal and nothing happens. So, it looks like I have to do the same as you did, thanks for the video because I really was like buying a new one and throwing away this one. But now I think I have to try this first ... I mean, after all, I can't make it any worse, can I? Even if it doesn't work (or I'm too dumb to get it reassembled) I'm at the same point as "I have to buy a new one" but THIS NOW is a chance to save a lot of money and getting back the projector I love so much. Another question ... the fans at the side of the projector - aren't these "normal" fans that will also be used in computers? Haven't you thought about changing them with better fans (more powerful, more silent etc.)? Looks like there is room for optimization :)

[@schneekettchen]

Thanks for this video. Finally, my beamer is also running again, same issue :)

[@NewbComputerBuild]

Of course!

[@amfsd]

I read that one should use a special mercury vacuum to get the glass pieces out. Couldn’t really make out what you did to get all the class out... any sort of vacuum or did you simply “shake” the glass out? Thanks having taken the time to make this video. Have yet to find out if I will have to go through this once my replacement lamp arrives...

[@NewbComputerBuild]

I did this a bit ago, but honestly, I just shook. They all came out. I would not recommend spraying a dust can in there, that's where the danger lies as dust can get caught in the color wheel.

[@amfsd]

Newb Computer Build - ok thanks. Ended up shaking and vacuuming the inside and in the meantime my lamp arrived. Installed the lamp and all working well (so far). Have the feeling the projector is a tad bit louder than before however...

[@andiejackson5954]

Hey how can I do a quick fan fix? The bulb keeps overheating.

[@NiklasW86]

Was also greatly helped by the video but due to sloppiness/tiredness I must have missed some ground connection or something so the projector was completely dead after reassembly. I had to do the complete teardown again and reassemble it very meticulously, and then it worked. So please be careful to note which screws go where, which metal is supposed to touch and so on.

[@Nibroclib]

The inlet fan connector detached from the circuit board during my disassembly. Can I repair by soldering or is it time to shop for a new projector?

[@YannRodrigue]

Do you think it would be a good thing the replace the fan while you're at it? I mean since your taking the thing apart. I was thinking about changing the fans for ultra quiet Noctua fans. I'm just not too sure about the required RPM and voltage of the fans.

[@NewbComputerBuild]

Hey - glad you like the video, and it's tough to tell why your unit isn't powering on at all. I'd first check if the new bulb is plugged all the way in? Also make sure the top lid is attached properly as it needs to push down a black button below it to trigger the power buttons to work.

How many hours did you guys have on the bulb when it "exploded" ? Mine is on 3200 ish hours now. I have always used eco mode. Maybe 100hours on regular mode.

[@acalora123]

So my lamp just popped. The pj mounted on the ceiling and I'm not too keen on taking it down. If I pull the lamp out, will I be able to check visually and see if there are glass shards that have come apart and lodged themselves inside the projector?

[@NewbComputerBuild]

Unfortunately the only way to tell is by taking the projector apart. Mine was also on the ceiling when my bulb popped, it should be easy to take down. Even if you pop the cover off and take the broken lamp out you have no way of seeing inside the blower fan since it's covered in the back of the projector. If you are hesitant on buying a bulb before knowing for sure, I would just take it all apart and shake the blower fan out, and almost guarantee glass shards will fall out, both from my experience and from everyone I've heard from.

[@jazzmeltsface]

no need, just put the nozzle up into the fan, whilst the projector still mounted upside down, put something in the little hole to keep the projector on, blow it out. shards of glass will come out so wear glasses. just did it then, fixed. edit: firstly take the lamp mount out, forgot to add that. gl

And one more question - how to clean lens as it looks like mine has dust in it? That part with zoom ring...or thats only done by professionals @ benq centre?

[@NewbComputerBuild]

I'm not 100% sure on this one. It is not recommended to use compressed air (which I did do) for this reason as it moves a lot of dust around. It would depend on where the dust is. The best I could find is the guys in this forum: www.avsforum.com/forum/68-digital-projectors-under-3-000-usd-msrp/1668122-benq-w1070-dust-spots-inside-lens-fix.html

i like videos where they talk... you know.. the process on how to fix things :)

Tyvm for this great video and links. My bulb exploded some days ago and i've yet replaced it. Thankfully, it seems all fans are working right (checked in page 2 of service menu, after pressing MENU,ENTER+SOURCE at projectors button panel). After two or three hours of use it seems everything's ok. Anyway, as I've read that high operating temperatures could be the cause of lamp explosions I checked which temperature was the lamp operating at, and saw it's working around 280-300 degrees (F). I tried to get info on the recommended or desired operating temp for the lamp but couldn't find anything. Which range of temperature do your projectors are getting?

Hey, currently got a bulb at around 3500 hours (pretty much all on eco) should i swap the bulb out for a new one or keep using it till it explodes/5000ish hours

[@Kumari_44]

I rock lamps until the wheels fall off and i get as close to that 5000 hours as possible before the lamp literally stops working. But its a very bad idea though. Yeah you can easily get up to a year+ of lamplife once the ‘replace lamp’ image starts showing. But by doing so you risk the lamp exploding and spreading glass everywhere. My first one didnt. But my second one did. Boom! Lamp 3 was working for a few months until all of a sudden, not working. Long story short its likely bits of that glass finally found its way into the blower fan. Tldr; dont be stupid like me just to skimp out on spending money. replace your lamp when youre supposed to.

Question: Cant you remove Projection glass part out - take out lamp and blow that fan from front side without disassembling whole projector? Or that part of the projector is fixed and better not to disassemble? Anyways, great video!

[@NewbComputerBuild]

Good question and I thought the same as you at first. My first try I took compressed air and shot it into the blow fan by just taking the lamp assembly out, but it didn't work. The blower fan has very thin blades and the glass from my bulb was lodged into them. There was a considerable amount of glass shards that came out of my blower fan when I took it out and tapped it against my desk. I think its worth a try before taking it apart, but it most likely won't do the trick.
