Hi guys,
I have had my UHD51a running for a few years, but then it 'died.' I couldn't get it to turn on. I finally deduced it was the lamp, and ordered a new one. Today I opened it up to replace with the new lamp housing from Araca, and discovered that my old lamp had exploded. The PJ was inverted, so I don't think any glass would have gone anywhere dangerous. After replacing the bulb and turning it back on, my Optoma is in a reboot loop. I see the Optoma splash screen, but the blue circle never shows, and then the cycle repeats.
I found a post mentioning reboot loops being fixed with firmware C09, and tried installing that, but it didn't work.
I logged in here, and tried installing C18 from the link in the post above, but upon trying that firmware, I never get to the blue light going to red (I waited about 30 min
)
Tomorrow I'm going to try a C15 firmware I could find. I'll post back if it works.
If it doesn't, is there some sort of factory reset I could try? or another firmware to try? Or does anyone have another suggestion?
Thanks!
