Hi to everybody,
about 1 year ago I bought a 1996, low hours (about 1,5k), Marquee 8500 AC; it worked with no problem until 2 days ago, when I watch a whole film and, as usual, turned it off.
Yesterday evening, when I turned it on, can't have any picture from the projector, internal test images included. When I turn on the projector, it sounds normally, I can see filaments on the back of each tube going orange, but still I have no picture. I tried a full reset from the chassis with no results.
The projector is connected to a PS3 via HDMI and Moome internal card at 1080i.
Any idea?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

You should here a distinctive crackle of high voltage coming up at Power-On, if the noise is absent you likely have an H Deflection or High Voltage power supply problem; are there any red lights lit on the back panel? Also, try reseating the H Deflection board.

At Power-On, I can hear the usual noise (as before the fault), coming from fans and electronics. And no, there's no red light on the back panel.
I will try to reseat the H deflection board (the PJ is ceiling mounted, so a displacing is possible).
Thanks for your interest, Tim.
