Compaq MP2800 DLP Projector
Hi,
Can anyone help me out with fixing a fault on this projector. The projector powers up fine and works for approx 5 minutes then shuts off, fans still run then the light comes back on after approx 2 mins and it goes through the cycle again. The bulb is fine and has been replaced. Its not getting overly hot so i don't think its actualy overheating. If anyone can offer some insight or has a service manual they could email me, I would be very gratefull. Thanks in advance, Jon |

Compaq MP2800 DLP Projector
I apologize. I work on projectors day in and day out and anytime someone
brings me a Compaq or a Dell with a problem like this I have no clue. Usually send the thing to the factory. Computer companies like that wont provide service manuals or tech help unless I pay or become a service center. Do you get any status lights? Do you hear the color wheel inside spinning or stopping or starting up. Have you checked the filters and made sure there clean?

When turned on first the colour wheel spins up and the projector works fine, the fans spin up and evrything is fine for 3-5 mins. Then it shuts off (colour wheel, fans, light) the power button flashes orange. ( I think if its overheated all the buttons should flash but this doesn't happen ) then after approx 3-5 mins it starts itself up again and the cycle repeats. I heard similar problems with other makes too but never found a cause, Thanks jon "James Sweet" wrote in message news:1YOxb.342455$Fm2.344939@attbi_s04... "red" wrote in message ...

Compaq MP2800 DLP Projector
Hmmmm... I do not have light codes, so I am unable to troubleshoot. What
sucks is that your looking at about $200 repair for something that is PROBALY relativly small. While it is on check what settings you can. Lamp hour reset, auto power, power save. Maybe it needs a signal for it to stay on. Sorry I can't help. "Jon" wrote in message om... "red" wrote in message .. . I apologize.
