It seems like it is working.
I still have a hard time getting back the white color, though.
It is very hard, to have a perfect connection, at the three LCD screen ribbon cables. They are super thin, and they don't have a tab, that can be grabbed.
I have went back to the Harmony app, deleted it, re added it and while I was pocking around in the app, I have realized, that I had to change the assignment, from the hub(RF) to the remote(IR).
Suddenly, it started working(controlling the projector).
What made it actually to work: I hit 3D Format, went down two steps in the 3D format menu and hit OK on the remote. All this blindly(no image), of course.
Suddenly, I had a 3D Top and Bottom image. Side by side it was OK as well, but when I selected Auto or 2D, the screen went back, like initially, with the top bar image.
It seems like, I have to leave it, in one of these two setting in the 3D menu, to have an image.
I don't know, if this is normal or not, but everything else seems to be working.
Thank you very much, for convincing me, that my problem it should be from the remote.

When you have a full screen image do you also now have the menu?

Yes I have it.
What is weird, that I can't select 3D Auto, or 2D. If I select these two, the picture goes back to the thin top bar view.

I have rushed a bit to soon.
Something is still not right, and everything is coming from the 3D.
To have an image, 3D has to be in one of these state: side to side, or top to bottom. 3D has to be off, otherwise will show the combined images, which is blurry.
The problem is, that if I switch off 3D, I have a single clear image, but it is shifted to one side(missing the right side of the image), if it is selected side by side mode, or is shifted up(missing bottom of the image), if the top and bottom mode is selected.
Image has a yellowish hue as well.
If I hit Reset All, it goes back to that top thin line. Why would be that, the default setting, I don't understand.

To me, it seems like this projector, is stuck in 3D mode. I don't know how is that possible. In the 3D menu, if I chose Auto, or 2D, it goes back to no image, only that thin bar at the top. Even if I reset the whole projector, still goes back to that state.
Yesterday, I have tried Avatar 3D and it looked pretty good, but I was hoping to have some more active menu options, to maybe get out from this 3D state, but I couldn't do anything.
I don't see any image positioning, overscan, progressive adjustments, etc.
What controls the 3D? The iris moves every time I make a change. Iris has anything to do with this? Maybe the lens, in front of the bulb is not located properly?

I would not say it is stuck in 3d since it changes out of 3d. It is more like there is a problem with 2d. I am still thinking it may be a setting being off in 2d mode but since you can not see the menu when in this mode it causes a problem. Because you may have to be in that 2d mode for a setting to change but it is hard to make changes in that mode without the menu. I would study the 2d menu that is shown in the user manual and if there is a menu selection that you think may cause the shrunkin picture try a blind select with your remote in 2d mode with a signal running.
Also I would like to see a picture of the info screen when in 3d with a full screen picture.

Do you know, what the Status info means? There is always a code.
I will try that as well.

Here it is, the Info page:  I also have an issue, that the right side has a blue "shadow". If I adjust the blue LCD ribbon, to go away, the next time I restart the projector, it comes back. The more I remove the ribbons, the worst are getting. There is nothing that I can grab, to handle them.  I couldn't do anything else with the 2D. I'm trying to find a remote for it. There is one on Ebay, for the 3020, which doesn't have the wireless HDMI feature. I have made an offer for it, and now I'm waiting to hear from the seller. I don't have the wireless transmitter, anyway. |

It's getting worse because the glue on the LCD panels mount is failing from repeatedly being worked on. I can see the blue LCD is misconverged on your projector, as well as having a weird hue in the blacks of the projected image. You can clearly tell this was someone elses project that failed miserably. I wouldn't even waste time with it, since the convergence cannot be redone unless it gets sent back to the factory, and there is an obvious mainboard failure. On an Epson, a mainboard failure is NOT worth repairing, it will just occur again. The yellow tint you see is li,kely one of the LCD panels or polarizers failing, which is a **very** common problem on Epson projectors. There is a reason you only paid $20 from the service center you got it from, and that's because they knew it was shot. At best it's a parts machine, and I wouldn't even use it for that unless you needed a ballast or a power supply for a known good displaying 3020e.

Thanks Jeremy for your input.
I have to mention, that I have removed the blue LCD. That is a no no?
You are saying, that my issues with the 2D not displaying, is a mainboard issue?

Yes, removing the LCD is a HUGE no no. As you can see in your own screenshot the panel is not aligned with the other 2, and there is no way to align it in the projector, it can only be done at the factory. As for your mainboard, yes, likely the mainboard has a faulty component, or it is possible that the firmware is even corrupted on it as well, it is sadly somewhat common on Epson projectors. |

From where could I get a firmware? It is impossible to find one online.
What do you think, that blue "shadow" from where is coming from?
I have also noticed in the menu, that 2D to 3D conversion is grayed out.
There is a service menu, that the LCD alignment could be done from there?
