It could be the ballast board or a capacitor issue. If capacitor looks bloated, replace. Might be a good idea to take it to TV or computer type shop for quote as you already spent half the cost of a new projector, on the replacement bulb. If it costs more than $200 to fix, I'd buy a new one and get the longest warranty you can. I have had my Acer for over a year now and no issues whatsoever.

Not sure what is wrong with your unit but I have the same one and all I do is hold the middle button for 4-5 seconds and light turns off completely.

Have you tried powering it up while connected to AC power supply? Did any lights blink at all? Also, sometimes the power button needs to be pressed in a specific way to really make it work.

I just moved the panel around until they stopped blinking. I haven't had the problem for a while. The lights do not come on without me toggling the on/off switch though.

Make sure the unit is charged and all 3 lights are blinking. If not blinking or only one light push and hold the power button. It is very tiny. Finally wait 20 or 30 minutes for server to recognize the device

buy a new unit. for the price of these new if you have a few of the LEDS go out you should just buy a new unit. they are not worth messing with. I have 3 lamps go out on mine after a few hours. they sent me a new one.

I'm definitely having issues with my power switch. Tried to leave a review about this and amazon rejected it! Its a nice lamp but the power switch is obviously an issue amongst many including myself.

Sounds vaguely familiar. If you press the button, does the light turn on at all? Have you tried removing the batteries, waiting a few moments, then reinstalling the batteries? If it's the problem I think it is, I think it's the light's circuitry going into a protection mode. When you charge the light, do you plug the charger cable into power source, then plug the mini-USB plug into the light? Or do you connect the light to the cable first, then connect the cable to a power source? If the former, then I suggest switching to the latter to avoid the problem. I suspect it's an issue of the powered cable touching part of the light it shouldn't if you're not inserting it "cleanly" into the charging port, tripping a protection mode.

That happened to me about a month ago. Amazon was great and advice me to return the defective product. I bought a different brand of lamp now and it's been working great. Good luck.

That happened with mine also. For me, holding the power button down for a ridiculously long time worked and it powered on. 99% of the time, it turns on easily now. Only once since then has it failed to power up normally. Holding the power button for the prolonged time was successful again. Best of luck!

I have the same problem. The light in front is on and the power button is pushed one way and it still dose not work. I have the same problem and mine has been on charge for several day's and it still does not work, and the button is in the right place.

That's why I replaced mine. Lightning damaged the unit, and according to the manual if resetting it doesn't fix the problem, then the next step was to replace the logic board. Mine blink 5 times as well. Once I replaced it with a new board it worked (all wireless remotes will need to be reprogrammed to work with the new board, follow the manual on how to do that.) I can't say for sure if it will fix yours, best of luck.

Mine stopped working too and it made a loud buzzing noise... it should turn on after the power is turned on, I fixed mine by just bopping the side and it worked!

Could be the lamp for sure. Is not likely if you replaced the lamp with the cage as one. Can be caused by the Color wheel being bad as we'll. never touch the lamp and always replace with the cage if you touched the bulb with bare fingers wipe it dry with alcohol to clean the finger oil off it. Hope helps you!

I would send it back. I have had mine for some time and have had no issues with mine. Sounds like a bad light sensor. Good luck.

Interesting issue - when I first installed the lamp, the "power on/off button" seemed to work well. But after having this lamp for a couple of weeks, I am having the same problems as Mr. Chung reported. I still like the light output and size - but I am a little discouraged by the several tries it takes to turn on and then off. Maybe I reported too soon initially on my satisfaction with this.But the difficulty in turning on & off is an issue the manufacturer needs to correct. Tom McElroy
