I had a similar set-up with my G-15 inverted behind my rear wall for the last three years. The space is relatively small for the projector and when I first installed it, it would shut off constantly due to overheating. The exhaust fan side of the projector was about 6" from the wall, which was obviously not far enough.
I solved the problem by using an strong fan (about 6" diameter) and some dryer exhaust flexible tubing to vent the hot air away from the projector. I can give you more details if you are interested. My G-15 has not overheated in the last three years since I did this. The important thing is to somehow vent the heat away from the projector. Also, Dave from Whisperflow, who makes terrific hushboxes for these projectors, probably has some solutions you could try. You might want to drop him a line.
Hope this helps.

| Originally posted by mfrizzzz Came across a strange problem with my G-11. It's about 4 years old; has worked great...for the last couple of weeks, it has been overheating when I put it in the projector room ceiling behind my home theater; when I bring it down and put it upright on the floor in the rear of of the room, it runs fine. I added ventilation and a ceiling fan to the proejctor room to keep the heat down, but the projector still gets hot as hell, and shuts down after an hour or so. I also cleaned the fileter. Anyone have any ideas??? Has this happened to other with the G-11, G-15 or G1000? |
