I couldn't find anything related to my problem with the 'Search" function, so....


My old projector, a Sharp XV-Z1U, stopped working after the requisite 2000 hours, and the red "LAMP" warning indicator was projected on the screen.


I replaced the lamp with a new one, but the "LAMP" signal still shows on the screen.


Does anyone know what I have to do to fix that?


Thank you!

You need to reset the lamp timer. The instructions should be in your users guide. If you can't find it ... a quick call to 1-800-BE-SHARP should have you up and running.


By the way, I hope you didn't throw away your original lamp. It will still work and may serve as a good backup. The timer in the projector was the only thing that shut your lamp down if it shut down at exactly 2000 hours.

Thank you!


I'll try that and post my results.

Ericbres,


Nothing in the manual, but a tech at the number you supplied gave me another number (not toll-free) and THAT tech gave me instructions. Also, I saved the old bulb, so it's running off that now.


Just in case anyone else needs it:



TO RESET THE “LAMP†TIMER:


Turn the master rocker button (on/off, not “powerâ€) to “OFFâ€.


On top of the unit, simultaneously hold down the

Volume “DOWN†button and the bottom-most “DOWNâ€

‘adjustment’ button (in the gang of 4 buttons) while

turning “ON†the rocker switch.


This will reset your lamp hours to “0000â€



Thanks again, Ericbres.

Great news!

And thanks for taking the time to come back and post your results.

Now any of us in the future can dig this up with a quick search.
