A month ago through Ebay I bought an OHP Eiki OHP-250M with 250W AC metal-halide lamp inside. I was glad about it not so long. Yesterday I could not start it.
When I turned on my OHP, I heard a high frequency noise made by high voltage board. Inside the lamp I saw a dim blue arc but lamp had not started.
I don’t know what trouble with. May be somebody had such experience? Should ballast make a noise if lamp is faulty? May be the problem is with a ballast? Or lamp cause it.
Please help me!

Lamp is UMI-250PE, metal-halide 250W (early by e-mail you said that it is AC type).
I don't have a multimeter... I cannot answer your questions...

It is simply. I did my DIY projector only from two parts. There are OHP and Infocus PowerView 820 projection panel. What is a reason I need to have a multimeter for?
Now my OHP is faulty. And I am disappointed that nobody can help me. I don't believe that nobody has the same OHP (Eiki OHP-250M or 2500M). It is not big deal to remove lamp, switch on an OHP and post an answer in this topic. I would be so appreciative.
simply way:
you buy my lamp,try to run it ,.
if the lamp can not work,return the lamp to me ,you lost shipping(5+5$) only.
OK?

For a start please say what kind of lamp do I need (AC/DC). Early you wrote me that my lamp and ballast are AC. But from one source I read that my ballast is DC. But I am not sure. It was japanese web page translated to English by Google.
I post here a quote:

Lighting device:
Fixed electrical switching ballast

where is the japanese web page ?
I can see some words, Chinese words are part of Japanese.
If you are not sure in DC or AC. yon can choose DC,
A DC lamp can be used in a AC ballast, it has 70-80% life.

Ah, you are a polyglot!
Try to translate it:

My lamp is marked as UMI-250PE. I found a bit information about a lamp UMI-250.

I don't know what is difference between UMI-250 and UMI-250PE.

Hi,
Recently I received a lot of email with a question where I bought my lamp (UMI-250PE).
I bought a lamp in Adelaide. Company - B&H Australia. URL: www.bhaustralia.com.au. You can find the nearest office there.
