Panasonic PT-AE4000U Problem

Hello,

I am very confused and frightened about what has been happening to my projector this morning

Here is the story

I turned on my projector with my ps3 plugged in to install a demo for a game. Seeing the demo would take forever to download, I turned off the projector to conserve lamp time as I was not planning to watch download bar get larger

After couple of hours, i attempted to turn on the projector to see if download was complete but the projector refused to emit any light out of the lens

This is a BRAND NEW PROJECTOR with UNDER 20 HRS of time on the bulb

The blue panasonic logo does not come up and I am unable to open up a menu as it does not project onto the screen

The RED indicator for TEMP and LAMP are NOT RED so Im not sure if the lamp is defective

I have turned it off and on repeatedly to see if that would work and yet the problem still persists

I am very shocked as it worked perfectly fine literally an hour before

Does anyone have any suggestions to do now?


Thanks in advance

Sorry for the misunderstanding

Let me clear it up.

The projector itself TURNS ON...it goes from standby to ON (Green light is ON)

The problem is that no image, not even the intro blue Panasonic screen projects. Nothing comes out of the lens at all

I Looked in manual and it really says nothing on if image does not pop up and because there is no error in TEMP or LAMP (red indicator doesnot turn on), I have no idea why it does not project the image

I have unplugged it from the projector and outlet and attempted to turn it on but yet this problem persists

Thats what I initially thought, but it still doesnt add up

I am unable to get to projector menu (which just shines onto the screen regardless of amp output) and there is no opening Panasonic title menu that comes up everytime the projector is turned on

It makes no sense that the projector is active but does not shine out any image (when it should shine a menu if prompted regardless of amp source)

I tried reseating the lamp and still doesn't produce an image. The fan is spinning and there is a high pitched noise coming from the projector if you stand very close to it. All the lights are green

PROBLEM FIXED! Hurray! I reseated the lamp one more time and all of a sudden I got a picture. I have no idea why it wasn't working earlier but thank god it working now! Thanks for your help everyone!
