Projector switching after 5 seconds

I'm hoping somebody will read this and be able to assist.

When iturn on my projector it turns on as per normal(green light), however about no more than 5 seconds the fan cuts out and the projectors flashes a white screen and turns back to standby mode(red light).
I'm not finding anything like this on any other sites?

The globe is under 1500 hours
cleaned out the vent
everythings plugged in correct.


Can Anyone shoot some ideas at me?

Could be a weak lamp. Lamps can fail at ANY time, regardless of hours used.

What make and model. 1500 hrs on some projectors is all you might get out of a lamp. Could be a bad fan the projector will shut off if a fan does't come upto speed. Does it flash any error code look in the manual and see what the lights might be telling you.

Still could be bad lamp. I've seen projectors power up, and then shut down in a matter of seconds. It was usually the lamp. However, as rekbones said, it could also be a problem with the projector. Knowing what you have is very helpful.

Yeah there doesn't seem to be a light sequence, and I lookd up the manual online and nothing jumps out there.
Might just have to get someone to look at it frown.gif
