Solutions to Projector Power or Shut-Off Problems

If the projector does not come on when you press the power button or it shuts off unexpectedly, try the following solutions:
  • Make sure the power cord is securely connected to the projector and to a working electrical outlet.
  • The projector's buttons may be locked for security. Unlock the buttons or use the remote control to turn on the projector.
  • If the projector's light source turns off unexpectedly, it may have entered sleep mode after a period of inactivity. Perform any operation to wake the projector. To turn off sleep mode, set the Sleep Mode setting to Off (Menu > Extended > Operation > Sleep Mode).
  • If the projector's light source turns off unexpectedly, the A/V mute timer may be enabled. Select Off as the A/V Mute Timer setting.
  • If the projector's light source turns off, the Status light is flashing, and the temp (temperature) light is lit, the projector has overheated and turned off. Check the solutions for this light status.
  • If the power button on the remote control does not turn on the projector, check its batteries and make sure the Remote Receiver setting is turned on in the projector's menu, if available.
  • The power cord may be defective. Try another power cord. If that doesn't work, disconnect the cord and contact Epson.
  • The cooling fans may run in standby status depending on the projector settings. Also, when the projector wakes from standby status, the fans may cause an unexpected noise. This is not a malfunction.
