on Sony VPL-ES1 Projector
Refuses to turn on (not even a red led!)
The projector refuses to turn on. It's had problems in the past where it's 'On'-light wouldnt light up until a few minutes after being plugged in. Then it'd light up red and pushing it would turn on the projector and the light would turn green.
Leaving it unplugged for longer period would cause it to take longer before the red led would turn on and you could use the projector.
Now, however, it takes 'forever'. My real question about it is: what are the symptoms of a broken lamp ? Will it stay ENTIRELY off, or will it at least light the red led ?
Reason I asked is because I took the device apart and measured parts of the powersupply; seems the first-stage PSU works fine and produces a nice 300+Volts DC for the second stage which, as far as I can make out, powers both the lamp and the logic-board. Seems that there's no power at all coming from there.
Anyone seen this before, perhaps ?
