A friend of mine got this DLP projector. It seems the projector lost all of its setup memory, ie it shows 1 hour of lamp time, but what is worse it seems it forgot the phase angle setting for the color wheel as well, can anyone help how to access the service menu?

Hey gjaky, What do you mean when you say "Phase angle"? The service menu can be accessed by going through the user menu to an option that should say "Service" which after selecting service should prompt you for a 4 digit password. You must be careful when entering the password, you get 3 tries, and if you fail to correctly enter it, will lock out the service menu, which can then only be accessed by a unique code given to you over the phone by Barco (who owns PD now), if you are the original owner and have proof of being so. As for the code itself, I don't know it off hand. I myself had to access the service menu for a Christie variant of this projector, and was lucky enough to come across the service manual which I don't have anymore. If you can get the service manual, you can get into the service menu. Sorry I couldn't be of more help gjaky! If you guys wanna get rid of that projector I would be willing to pay shipping & packing costs + what you think is fair for the PJ itself, should you guys not have any luck. (I could always use PD/Barco DLP PJ parts machines!) Good luck, let me know if you do figure it out (I would be interested in knowing the code myself  ) |

Also if it "forgot" its memory, then the battery on the mainboard may have died. I'm pretty sure it has a battery, a lot of PD projectors do.

Ok I am just an information forwarder... But in the meantime with the help of the local Barco distributor he got the super secret service code so he could set the color wheel phase angle, the machine projects a nice image now. There is still some issue with the projector though, but that does not affect the actual picture pleasure: no outside communication is working in the unit: no response from the remote, no response from the RS-232, and neither from the LAN, odd. My friend lives quite close to me so sooner or later I want to check it out, as it is said this projector can have 7500:1 on off contrast with iris closed up, that is something worth to check. No to mention we will aim to try the newest generation of vibrating mirror (quasi UHD) device with this projector (this guy already have a vibrating mirror device in front of his 720P 3 chip DLP DPI TITAN projector, running at virtual 1440P resolution). Maybe I can get back with the service code later as well. PS. My friend got a backup cineo as well in the meantime, which works without an issue  |

It's great that Barco is willing to support these projectors like that. You'd be surprised how many companies will say no, simply because you are not the original purchaser. They do have a beautiful image, I have several of those here as well (many made under various models, the "Cineo" is the HT market version). You can get that 7500:1 CR, but at the expense of its glorious brightness with both lamps on, and color properly calibrated. Still, for HT, Its a beast of a machine. It just doesn't have the "inky blacks" that so many worry about. If you would be able to provide the code, that would be ***really*** awesome of you! I can't tell you off hand why the communication stuff wouldn't be working off hand. My guess is whatever caused the color wheel index (which is the phase angle you speak of) to reset, probably reset those functions as well in the Service menu. Not sure, but not unlikely either. |

But I have no way to get access to the service menu to get it adjusted so i wonder if you could give me some help. Thanks so much in advance. |
