Pioneer PDP LX5090 fans not turning on?

[Dang]

As the title suggests, I've recently purchased this for £80 and all works just fine but I have noticed the top getting very hot and I would of thought the fans would of kicked in long before this temperature, is there anything wrong with the fans or is this normal? I've read only the little amount of info I could find on this issue and nothing has helped, any ideas are welcome, thank you.

I have the same set (Tom66's old one) same issue-well its not an issue they only turn on when the set is about to combust lol. The Tv can operate at that temp well with out any issues even when they do turn on they are very silent and you wont be able to tell.

Tom said to me that he ran this thing at full white with adjusted sus voltages to make it brighter ended up using over 600w the fans never come on then either. I might actually mod mine so they run from start as it does get very hot wonder if there is a setting in the SM to adjust the active temp but if its thermistor based this wont be possible and it would need hard wiring.

Thank you, I've read else about them not coming on but considering the age of this thing I think anything to help preserve the life has to be a good thing, it will be interesting to hear and see if this can be modded, or better still, adjusted in the service menu so they come on at a far lower temp, it must be hitting 60+ degrees Celsius I think, thanks again.

Yeah I might have a mess if I can be bothered lol if not just screw some fans to the top case and wire them in as well there is space. Also £80 fucking hell nice price ! I suggest you remove the back cover and hoover the set out as well as dust can cause it to run hotter. Also add me on facebook and I can show you the mods I have done to mine
