How to repair the lamp of a projector in 30 seconds

[@murphyking79]

Holy crap!! I was SO UPSET my EPSON quit working. I watched your video was like, what do I got to loose? Gave it a few light smacks where the lamp is. Plugged it back in and BAM it started working again!!! Thank you sir!!!

[@emilanghel1796]

Thank you sir!! The best video ever, i fixed my lamp !

[@jf5-mars334]

No way !!! i tapped on the plug and it fixed my benq 1070 , was unable to use since a years , had 3 replacement lamp , thank you sir :)

[@lu1tgs]

Seems like magic!!!! its works!. I have a New EPSON X39 that stops working after a few hours. I was devastated becouse the waranty period loosed in pandemia. Looking for a cheap new lamp i found this incredible video. Thanks a lot for your generosity

[@umeshhcl]

Yes, may be it's due to luck and don't know for how long the lamp will work, but I seriously want to thank you as it did works for my projector lamp. At-least I am sure now that my projector lamp has the problem. God bless you!

[@dimawood007]

Mehmet, thank you! God bless this man and his family!!! :)

[@sendtozakir]

One of the greatest super fix. Wonderful. Could not believe that expensive lamps with this technique. Thanks a lot to all guys saying this worked. With this belief i kept trying and finally multimeter stopped bipping.

[@고지환-z1z]

It worked!! I'm using epson 2150. It happened just second day of. You saved me... Thanx a lot.

[@israelestrada3718]

Master, it's works to my optoma EH400, Tnks a lot, you are the best

[@RBoone]

I was skeptical, but it worked!!! I have a working projector again :-)

[@josemanuelrufo2592]

Thank you so much , it works with my projector. God bless you .

[@HarilandeR]

You saved me 100 dollars, THANK YOU very much!!

Cuándo la lámpara no enciende le damos unos golpecitos y lámpara nueva??

[@arunapriya891]

It's working tq so much sir god bless you always 🙏🙏

[@zanamuhsin979]

It worked for me as well, I really appreciate you.

[@paulodias9425]

This actually worked for me as well, the lamp was also allowing resistance between the 2 contacts, measured it up while beating it and it's working. Thanks a lot!!!

[@lazarovaldes434]

Wow it worked for my Epson 2250 with only 347hrs on the lamp. Thank you sir!!!

[@atolchappanno5384]

Thank you brother. for your vedio.

[@Sjrick]

What setting is his multimeter on ?

[@eddythoughts5221]

Just put it on diode (continuity option) 🔊

[@kalolkalol7289]

juat one question: Can we just tap that without a multimeter? Will it work?

[@commercialconcepts2198]

GOD BLESS THIS MAN

[@nr104b]

One of the crazies things I have ever seen on youtube. I actually works, but I don't know why. Lamp experts: who can explain what we just saw??

[@QuickMotoZ]

I got a Benq TH685i and followed your procedure and oddly it worked. The lamp hours for this projector are 235 and it can run up to 4,000 at normal life. My question is why did that fix it? An what causes that lamp to fail like that?

[@prajapatimobilesolution9771]

nice work sir

[@FourteenSupercars]

my panasonic vx425n xga fans are running but no display, the red light labeled lamp is flashing, it was working properly and start going to stand by mode then it stopped working, i would really appreciate your help

[@maniek79]

very good english mr mehmet

[@rawan3435]

Thanks you have saved my money 5000

[@wookie0dud]

Hi, I have hitahi cp-cw300wn. O wathed movie on the ceiling when projector suddenly turned off. Just goed blank, power stopped, ventilation stopped. Died somehow. Earlier i settled projector upright to watch a film on the ceiling. I created some small gap u der it so it could breath. Gap was 1.5cm from the floor with size of projector itself. I simply settled it on two books and created this gap. Now device does not turn on. Only reaction is visoble when plugging device to power. Power and temp lights blinked on right during plugging and device remain "dead". Got any solutions to recommend? I would repair it but i'm not sure what to do with it. Any idea? Thanks! And good day!

[@إسميشكور]

Thanks brother 4 the sharing and it works....🤗🤗🤗 May Allah bless you...👍👍

[@godslove2374]

Hai, I brought my EPSON pro ex9220 wireless 1080p projector in the year 2017 Last month the projector stopped working. right now it shows only the power button and status button blue light ON. WIFI light, temperature light and bulb light are not working. so may i know what happened to my projector. if i need to buy a projector bulb, where can I buy the bulb? THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.

[@dane4890]

Mr. Mehmet, why does my new projector show a little grren light when i am whatcing film? I have tried to adjust the Colors but it is still there?

[@KittyKAT666Meow]

Awesome video. Also if you are spending hundred of dollars on a new projector lamp you are over paying and getting ripped off. New projector lamps are sold online for $45.

[@NicChristie]

so, was it that the lamp wasn't working? or the projector was turning off after a few minutes?

[@PatsArcade]

Worked for me as well on a BenQ W1080ST with only 247 hours on the lamp, few taps and continuity stop. Would be great if anyone can explains how that can happen. I popped it back in and everything works well again.

[@KevinxJin]

Didn't expect it to work for me, mine had 750 lamp hour, but broke the other day. Bought multimeter yesterday just to try this fix, I banged it with my little screw driver, it didn't work at first, I grabbed a bigger plastic object and banged couple of times, then it magically fixed the lamp. Mine was Epson Home Cinema 2250.

[@TheGiggingGuitarPlayer]

Dang!! It worked! Why? Thanks!!!!!

[@dmonkrealofficial]

THE FONZ!

[@gladymaelauretedeoquino5804]

thanks man you are genius.....

[@jamesnathanielbueno5242]

It worked!! you saved me a lot of money!

[@angelotorres3849]

Thanks man this really works!!!

[@Bobby1990]

Jestem w szoku bo to działa!!! Sprawdzone na Epson EB-W05 lamp model ELPLP 96. Great, lamp is working again!

[@loleeta9009]

W tego rodzaju lampach wyładowczych elektrodami są dwie blaszki położone bardzo blisko siebie, a świeci łuk elektryczny pomiędzy nimi. Nadtopione kawałki elektrod mogą zrobić zwarcie i wtedy sterownik lampy je wykrywa i się nie uruchamia. Wibracje z uderzeń w lampę przerywają "nitki" robiące zwarcie i sterownik lampy znów może ją odpalić :) wszystko zgodne z zasadą działania i fizyką - przepiękne to jest :)

[@davesusek3330]

Could not believe it but it worked bulb read 0 ohms I kept tapping it suddenly went to LO. put back together and the lamp lit. Now I want to know why.

[@dvideos3271]

I have hitachi cpx 4015 wn projector it shows pendrive all files but when i click on the video it open same screen again. not playing video

[@AhmedTarek-vl4nw]

thanks sweet ,,, worked for me too :) ,, and i was wondering how can a hid lamp develop a short circuit , i searched the web for an answer but didnt find any ... i guess its a thermal protection (thermostat) and need to be reset .. dusty filters and fans can cause this and it could happen again also if the lamp life is ending.

[@MilanSharma-dp4uk]

Sir mera projector chalta hai par picture nhi dekhta bas thora thora dekhta hai uska kya problem hai plz suggest me

[@harounah1191]

thanks. it worked.

[@AmjadAli-fz2kc]

Great job broo.thanks

[@dubassgames3462]

Good job man!!!

[@MarioIArguello]

1) Has anyone had issues shorting of other components after the DIY repair in the video? 2) Has anyone opted to replace the bulb with an LED setup, instead? I have a great Vivitek 2D-3D DLP projector that if it wasn't for the $150 bulb that needs to be replaced, it is still a great projector. I am thinking of converting it to an LED light.

[@NameLast-wm5je]

good idea! Ill try to do that now

[@NameLast-wm5je]

yeah works fine. Just break open a 240V LED armature and jam that in there. Looks like most projectors have jumpers to stop trying to figure out if the bulb works

[@dntennakoon4834]

It's not a joke actually it's working🎉

[@ZakkWyldeYngwieMalst]

epson eh-tw5600 work😊thx

[@cristtrav]

WOW. IT WORKED! 👁️👄👁️

[@Bauke63]

Hard to believe this actually works.....did anyone use this solution without any other damage after?

[@jaxgardener2262]

Oh please don't be a troll it's not my projector 😂

[@ClaudioZaneeti]

Thank man, it works !!!

[@jlcoria3402]

Si funciona, probado con un Epson Home cinema 2150,de un día para otro simplemente no prendió la lámpara, con menos de 800 horas,y sin ningún indicio de que se hubiera quemado, intenté eso y ya volví a prender

[@linussamani3791]

It might work, but you does not re-install in the projector as a proof. The reading on your multimeter also shows 1, which means discontinuity. Continuity should have a value close to zero. The zero at the beginning and the beep could mean continuity. Correct me if am wrong. My projector's lamp does not work as well but i am worried this temporary fix may bring further problems than just the lamp itself.

[@allinonetamil9180]

Super bro

[@neelneel6440]

WHAT IF POWER TEMP AND LAMP ALL ARE FLASHING RED IN EPSON EB-X14

[@bigted1953]

then you have to call a tech in India directly , be put n hold, and listen to sitar music ( which actually is pretty good)

[@eadge1999]

Perfect

[@jaysont5311]

I can't believe it worked! I really don't know why

[@nareshkale5867]

Thanks sir it's work Thanks

[@chessguru900]

The projector lamp is a high pressure mercry HQI lamp and in a healthy working condition even when brand new it should show open circuit. This guy is talking utter nonsense in here.

[@OriginalMergatroid]

He showed he was testing the lamp and it was shorted. Then he banged on it and the short went away, showing an open circuit. My question is, how could you ever trust this lamp again? Also, a shorted lamp can blow a ballast board and a power supply board (I['m working on one right now where this exact thing happened). I would never use a lamp this happened to.

[@OriginalMergatroid]

This is not a very smart thing to do. If your lamp is shorted, it can blow your ballast board and your power supply board. One of our customers bought a lamp from Amazon, a cheap POS, and it blew his ballast and his power board. I did not know he had bought a cheap POS lamp, and I installed new ballast board and new power board, and it blew the new parts too. Since it was an expensive projector, we ordered an OEM lamp, and replaced the parts again and it works fine now. I would never reuse a lamp that tests shorted. Do this at your own risk.

[@kingofslotsmillion3263]

Mergatroid Mania this is my vivitek model number D557wh. My projector turns on but the bulb dosnt. I thought you cant check a projector bulb with an ohm meter? How can I troubleshoot the igniter or the bulb .

[@OriginalMergatroid]

You can check a lamp for a dead short using an ohmmeter (that is, a short to DC) but you cannot check anything else with a meter. I have seen cheap lamps arc to ground and blow the ballast board. In the case in this video, if the lamp had of arced after his "repair" it could have blown the ballast board. Perhaps people in some areas may think it's worth the risk, but I am working on clients projectors and will not risk blowing an expensive board to save a cheap lamp. The only way to troubleshoot this is by substitution.

[@otallono]

most of the time the cheap lamps on amazon are exactly the same, it's sometimes a hit or miss but more often than not you'll get a good one. There's no reason to suggest someone to spend $270 more than they have to on a projector lamp. I've had oem lamps last a couple months or flicker. So oem lamps are also hit or miss. Yeah, I'll spend the $30 instead of $300. Just read the reviews, it's amazing when you see people buying the lamp that doesn't have any reviews or poor reviews. Buying the one with the best reviews even if it's 4 star, you'll have a better chance at getting a good lamp. Again, oem lamps can also be bad.

[@billfry8779]

1. Yeah this wasn't the best way to do a reset an thermal locked bulb, but its common. 2. Unless a huge unprotected surge arcs to the machine, no PCB in the history of the world has, "blown". Not to say a passive component didnt pop due to improper load. Videos like this, and comments like yours do not help actually educate people in this situation. When buying bulbs be sure to check the small details. Do your research!!. As with anything under repair, a slight change in temp, ohm, or mAh outside operating specs can harm a device on a long enough timeline. There is also a chance it could be fine, forever. #RightToRepair
