The “Lamp Failure” message appears

If the “Lamp Failure” message appears, one of the following issues is occurring:

l

The lamp is overheating, likely due to blocked air vents.

l

The lamp has reached the end of its life.

l

The projector has an internal problem.

g

To resolve the “Lamp Failure” error

1. Restart the projector (see Your projector stops responding on page 62).

2. Check the remaining lamp hours using the on-screen menu (see Adjusting projector settings on

page 24).

If the lamp has more than 2000 hours of use, it’s near the end of its lifespan.

3. Replace your lamp module as described in Removing and replacing the projector lamp module

on page 51.

4. If replacing the lamp module doesn’t resolve the issue, put the projector into Standby mode,

disconnect the power cable, and then contact your authorized SMART reseller.

l

There was a power outage or a power surge.

l

A circuit breaker or a safety switch was tripped.

l

The projector isn’t connected to the power source.

l

The projector has an internal problem.
