I have an ASK Impression 880 LCD projector. I need to know how to reset
the lamp life warning. I assume it's in the service menu, but I don't

because the old ballast blew quite spectacularly a few months ago.

IIRC : There is a switch on the motherboard. Turn unit off (unplug),
open cover and set switch (only one on mother board) to opposite
position that it is in. Put cover back on, plug in and go. Thats
all................

Well, I took it apart, but I couldn't find a switch anywhere. I could
have sworn I remembered there being one, but I also used to have a very
similar, but slightly older, ASK projector and it could be that I'm
remembering it, instead.

Under the OPTIONS menu, there's a SERVICE option that I suspect is the
answer, but when I select it I get a little box that says "SERVICECODE?"
and I'm not sure how to proceed from there.

I need to figure this out because, without a reset, after another 50
hours the projector will shut itself down and become a very large
paperweight.

Sorry the switch information was for the ASK 960.
I have changed lamps in the ASK 880 but can't find any information on
resetting the timer. I seem to remember removing the lamp "tripped" a
switch. Maybe you have to go into a menu or something while it
displays the lamp timer message. You may have to remove the lamp again
and "trip" the switch. When it is turned back "on" the firmware will
sense the lamp change and you will have to either "agree" it has been
changed and push the correct button or "disagree" by doing something
else. Keep trying as you will figure it out. I figured it out and
didn't make any special notes. Good Luck.
