    Sanyo Z4 Problem

    Has anybody else had a problem with the Sanyo Z4 Projector?

    I've had mine since January and have been really happy with the performance, it has very few hours on it and up until end of last week had been working fine.

    Now if I leave it on for about 20 minutes it powers off completley, no warning lights the fan stops, shutter stays open nothing at all works. If I turn it off at the back and leave it a few minutes I can get it back on. Just wondered if anybody else has seen it.

    Just send it back, we went through 3 or 4 Benq's at work before they finally sent us a " good one" :roll: . these projectors are built as disposable devices, but the trick is to make them fail just outside warranty and sometimes the manufacturer miscalculates.

      I'd just send it back and get a new one. With the fan stopping and not cooling the bulb, you're bulb will go bad a lot faster, so don't think it will "fix itself".

        I concur, send it back, that is definitely not normal operation, it seems like a lamp circuit failure.

        Peace and blessings,

          Hello all,
          I've had a Z2 since March, it was working great up to about 2 months ago. It has developed a problem that has gradually gotten worse, to the point where I asked Sanyo for service.

          The problem is this: whenever a high contrast image is on the screen for more than about...

          Bad bulb or ballast in PJ?
          by wildfire99
          I've got a problem that hopefully someone can help me shed some light on.

          I have an NEC HT1000 that's worked flawlessly for a few years now, with less than 400 hours on the lamp (it sat in storage for a while). I pulled it out of storage, and it wouldn't fire the lamp. I pulled the lamp,...
