NEC MT1040 Bulp repair
I own a NEC Multisync MT1040 Projector. The lifetime of the Bulp is
aprox. 2000h But after about 1000h the lamp get very dark an there is only little contrast left. Is it possible just to change the bulb an not the whole frame? Where do I get information and the bulp? Do someone know anything? Please answer in newsgroup, cause I don't check the email. Thanx, Reiner |

Where do I get information and the bulp? Do someone know anything? Reiner, Lamp life depends on many things including how well the lamp was made in the first place. Don't forget to clean the filter often. If clogged, it makes the lamp run hotter than normal, and that can shorten its life. A few other things to keep in mind: 1. any time you turn the projector on, let it run at least five minutes before you shut it down. 2. Don't unplug the projector for several minutes (until the fans stop) after turning it off. 3. As with any high temp lamp, never touch the glass with your fingers (skin oil will cause damage). If there is a "generic" number on the glass, you may be able to find a replacement by doing a search on that number... but you will likely not save much money that way assuming you can find just the bulb. Try www.bulbman.com for a replacement. I have a service manual in .pdf format if you need it. It's a big 'un... about 12 Megs. Ray -- My return addy is spamblocked. To reply, remove the zeroes. |

You'd save over $100 just buying it directly from NEC rather than bulbman. There are a few other distributors that have it a little cheaper, but even if you can find the lamp without the frame, the vendors that might have it will likely be more $. I have not found these lamps less than about 10% below NEC's pricing. A good resource for crossing lamps, BTW, is www.donsbulbs.com You can also find a list of vendors at www.projectorcentral.com Leonard |

Thanx, Reiner Sounds like the unit was started frequently, the rated lifespan is for relatively long run cycles, starting up is very hard on these. I've heard of people replacing just the bulb but it takes some doing. Best to do some research online for this one, it's not a trivial matter and the lamps can be dangerous to handle. Optical alignment is critical and many characteristics of the lamp will effect this. |

By the way: I couldn't fix the problem. I had to gave the projector away. The problem was what I sugested - a fuse. But I couldn't find the fuse within the projector, even with the manual. Nevertheless thank you again. Reiner |

I also am searching for a copy of the service manual for a NEC MT1040G data projector as I have one with problems (I have spent a lot of time searching the NET, all to no avail). If anybody has a copy electronically, would they be able to advise me as to how I can obtain/download it. Many thanks in advance. Regards Jim. Last edited by radio jim : March 8th 05 at 12:44 PM |
