PMac76 Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 Hi all, Our Optoma HD141x lamp blew today. When I researched it, it mentioned changing the lamp when a warning appears. That warning never showed on start up, and I never figured out where to look for lamp hours despite searching through all the menus. I’m just wondering if there’s a point to spend money on a new lamp if it’s likely to have damaged something when it blew. Any thoughts would greatly appreciated.
Quark Posted November 12, 2020 Posted November 12, 2020 It's possible there was other damage, but it's far from a certainty. Damage from glass fragments on a restart are more likely. I'd suggest gently cleaning out the broken glass with a vacuum and trying a cheap replacement lamp. If that works, spend some extra $ on a genuine lamp (the cheapies tend to be duller / become dull / unreliable. I'm not familiar with Optoma, but most projectors have lamp hours in the same menu as the firmware version etc. You should reset lamp hours when replacing the lamp. 1
