The video projector heats up too much, how to fix it?
Despite your efforts to prevent your projector from overheating, does it get too hot? Rest assured, in this troubleshooting guide, we explain the causes of this malfunction!
POTENTIAL CAUSES OF THIS FAULT:
e="text-align: center;"> WARNING
Before carrying out any work on your appliance,
make sure you properly disconnect it from the mains electricity supply.
There is a risk of an electric shock.
The air filter is clogged
The air filter, as the name suggests, is used to filter the air that enters your audiovisual equipment. Its role is to retain dust at the entrance of the video projector and prevent it reaching the components. However, a poorly maintained or not regularly changed filter can become clogged and hinder the flow of air through the unit. As a result, the device will overheat. We advise you to clean the filters regularly and change them if necessary.
Ventilation is insufficient
Projectors require optimal ventilation when in use because they naturally generate heat. If the air does not circulate properly in the viewing equipment, it will not be properly cooled. It is important to respect a space of at least 30 centimeters around the video projector to ensure good ventilation.
Find a spare part for your projector
The usage duration is exceptionally long
The video projector is not a television, it is intended for relatively short use/strong>. If the multimedia equipment has too long a running time (several hours daily), it can overheat. We advise you to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the optimal time to use your projector.
One of the components is defective
In some cases, it may be that one of the internal components of the device is the fault. To do this, it will certainly be necessary to disassemble it in order to identify which part is in question and replace it.
