Official Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 5010 / 6010 thread - Page 102

If you haven't already, try the "reset" on the alignment menu and see if it goes away?

I suscribe to the "3 strikes and you're out" theory of component problems from manufacturers. If you have gone through 3 units all of which are defective in some way, I would demand to get the newest equilivant model or get my money back and just move on....a Lemon law so to speak. The fact that you are on 4 or 5, is just ridiculous... I feel for ya..

With that being said, I did a home theater install for a friend and I too noticed that the very bottom row of pixels on his 5010 was of a green shade. Although, in his case, it seems to only be noticeable with the alignment grid test pattern. On normal viewing material, it does not appear to be an issue for him. I don't believe you will be able to fix using the software based panel alignment adjustment in the projector. If after you reset the alignment adjustments back to factory default, you still see it, most likely it is a mechanical panel alignment issue. But, depending on far off it is.... is it only about 1 pixel, or is it more? Epson may consider it to be in spec.. Only they can tell you I guess.

After one year of no problems with my 6010, unit wont start. Power light is blue and the light below it ( ceiling mount) flashes blue. I pulled the a/c power a couple of times in hopes it would reset but no response. Fan is running and the lens cover does not open. Any ideas other than getting a replacement from Epson?

Are you trying to start it from the Remote or the power button on the projector?
My 6010 would not start from the remote sometimes and turning it on from the projector pwer button would cause a failure with a fast fan. Unplugging it then plugging it back end seemed to fix it for awhile.
the Firmware update seemed to have solved the problem

It would not start with either button. I unplugged it fro power a number of times and let it sit without power overnight. Still had the problem. Then when Epson said I would get a replacement.I tried it one more time before I took it down and of course it started and hasworked ever since.

I its not necessary to reset the alignment to go back to standard settings. Simply disabling alignment will do the trick
Your settings will remain stored and you can easily compare between the two.
