Sharp LCD Projector Problem...

[escalade182]

I have a Sharp, XG-E1200U, projector. The unit turns on and proforms a self test...

The problem is: After the self test is finished, a white screen appears...

For some reason, the system wont allow me to enter the menu screen. I have tried this with an xbox:s-video, dvd player:s-video, computer:computer input. But seeing as how I cant access the menu screen, I cannot tell the unit to find the input source. Does anyone have any advice/solution? I have 2 new bulbs but each one expresses the same issue. Any input is greatly appretiated.

Also. The LAMP indicator LED is on, sometimes flashes. I know your going to tell me my lamps are bad but 2 of the lamps are new. I already tried the factory lamp-time-counter but it has no effect.

Everybody likes pictures...except for the bandwith.

Here is a better picture of the unit itself.

maybe your fans need cleaning

I dont know... I just cleaned out the filters and the fans...maybe some sawdust got sucked up into the unit though. I'll check it out.

Fixed... a cable connection wasnt secure...shoved a washer in there and everythings perfect....

mp3car.com at 110"


...I love this projector....up to a 40' by 30' apparently while still obtaining a sharp image.

Lights off

BTW....I'm perfectly in focus....unfortuantly my camera's only 2.0 megapixels...

I'm in the process of building a gaming/theater room in my basement. The new screen should arrive tomarrow but heres some pictures of a 120" bedsheet/orange tarp(to block light)

what I learned: drywalls a ***** to do single-handedly.
