    Dell 2300MP

    I decided to create new thread, separate from my original thread about Hitachi projector.

    This Dell 2300 MP was dropped during its cooling cycle after i finished using it. Now when I try to turn it on, the temp and lamp indicator lights stay lit while fans keep spinning.

    I was told that the lamp may be bad. I decided to take out the lamp from its housing and connect it to a different projector. When I did that, the projector turned on and the home screen appeared. For obvious reasons I did not have the cover closed so after few seconds of home screen display, the lamp and temp indicator lights come on. The projector continues to work though.

    Now going back to dell. Since the lamp is working in different projector, could there be something else that broke when the Dell hit the floor? I should also mention when I take out the lamp and try to turn on the projector (while hold down the little cover switch) I still get the same two lights as you can see on the picture.



    I posted pix of hitachi power supply unit in my other thread.
    Thanks for your help!

      I would check for any broken solder joints or loose connectors, especially ones relating to a temperature sensor or lamp detection.
      Please do not PM me with questions! Questions via PM will not be answered. Post on the forums instead!
      For service manual, schematic, boardview (board view), datasheet, cad - use our search.

        I was trying to search the web for technical drawings/repair manual for this projector since I do not even know where the sensors are located. I was not able to find anything besides the user manual Do you know of any websites that may have something like that?

I'm trying to troubleshoot/flowchart the "internal projector error" on my newly acquired Facebook Marketplace bought Epson 5040UB projector (3LED, not DLP).

          1) Power on
          2) Blue power indicator lights and the lens cover motor opens the lens cover, light fan noise heard

          Dell E6400 PT434 type Battery Charging Stuck at 1%. Battery Pinouts?
          by Bowline
          My question pertains to understanding the control circuity inside a Dell PT434 type battery used in Dell E6400, E6410 and other Dell notebooks?

          Does anyone have a circuit diagram for the inside of a Dell PT434 battery and/or a description of how the control lines work to control this battery?

          My reason for asking is I have a battery which I cannot get to charge beyond 1% in a Dell E6410 or E6400.
          The LED bar graph charge indicator on the battery shows one LED lighted when the info button is pressed.
          I have tried multiple different Dell power adapters. My Dell...

          Dell Precision 5530 15" died to blown chip. Replaced chip and now only get momentary fans, lights, no screen or boot
          by joesmoe91
          Hello,

          My Dell Precision 5530 turned off suddenly when I was running Matlab and wouldn't turn on, show any lights, fans, and/or any signs of activity at all. I opened the case, removed the battery and looked at the board with a thermal camera while the AC adapter was connected. I saw that PU1252 was >120C so figured the chip had died on me Got the part number off the attached schematic (see Mouser link below) and replaced the chip. After replacing the chip the board (connected to AC adapter) was able to briefly power on, spin the fans a little bit, and turn on the front led lights....

          Dell Pro 13 Plus PB13250 Bios Unlock
          by Akhlz001
          Hi,

          Could someone help trying to unlock this BIOS, seems that Dell have changed the layout of new Dell Pro 8FC8 bioses from checking HXD - 4000 bits do not need changing, only 2000. However after FF the section starting from '01000' upto 2000 bits and then soldering the chip back it seems that the microchip on the motherboard is recovering the bios back to original settings after first boot. Has anyone found a way to crack this extra layer of security Dell have implemented? Seems both HP and Dell have upped bios security to match Lenovo by implementing extra measures on a separate...
