you can get one through pureland supply for 128.00. the price of the bulb is pretty good since the price of a new projector is pretty expensive. I have had my projector for two years and never had a problem.

Try removing the bulb and looking at the bulb to see if it looks burnt or otherwise blown. If not, double-check your connections and re-install. If still no luck, you may (unfortunately) try getting another bulb before looking at other component issues. Make ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that you DO NOT TOUCH any of the glass parts of the bulb! The oil from your fingers severely decreases they life of the bulb. Hope this helps!

There are a few potential problems here. Check and make sure your HDMI chord works with other devices. I had a problem with my HDMI plugin after a power surge. The projector was not surge protected. I replaced my Optoma HD20 with this model. I understand that you can take this to an electronics store and have them fixed the HDMI port. This is really the only option other than replacing the whole unit.

Yes Sir. bought my projector in july 2012, replaced the bulb in about october 2013. It took me FOREVER to get the top cover off but I finally got it to pop off. Easy install , but do be careful. I could notice a brighter image right away, but the "change bulb" indicator light still flashes, I just ignore it. This is a great deal for this bulb, you're getting it for like 30% original cost. Good luck.

I am no expert by any means but that's what my old one was doing before I installed the new one. They say not to touch the bulb. Did u try reinstalling it? Maybe u got a defective one, I don't know. Maybe blow some air in there to remove some dust? Again I'm not an expert, but for me no issues.

It could be the ballast board or a capacitor issue. If capacitor looks bloated, replace. Might be a good idea to take it to TV or computer type shop for quote as you already spent half the cost of a new projector, on the replacement bulb. If it costs more than $200 to fix, I'd buy a new one and get the longest warranty you can. I have had my Acer for over a year now and no issues whatsoever.

There's no trick to it....just plug & play. Either you got a bad batch or there is a compatibility problem. Double check the compatibility & if it's the correct bulb then return them. And you may want to double check that the fixture is getting power by putting in an old working bulb (of you have one.)

I would make sure the bulb is connected. Otherwise, it should just turn on. If not, I would send it back. :)

Gayle, I don't know the answer to your question. I determined what replacement bulb to order from the existing one that had burned out. You might Google your projector and see if you can access the information that you seek. Sorry I can't help.

Thanks for your prompt reply - I actually already own this item! After years of use, the bulb has burned out and I'm tying to determine if it can be replaced. I'm disappointed with the short lifespan of the item, but I wasn't necessarily disappointed with the performance. With the proper room placement, focus of the lens, and assurance that there was no light polution, the item performed quite well. Until it died, of course!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/130913806826?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649I think, this should work if your projector does not have any other problem than bulb. I bought HD66 from Amazon on June 2012 and the projector failed after one year. I ordered the above mentioned Bulb and it worked for one day only. But, I do not think it was an issue with the bulb. It's the projector which had some fault I think. I bought a new projector after all these crap ! But, the above mentioned bulb matches all criteria for HD66.

Should turn on regardless of input hookup. It's it plugged in to good power outlet? If plugged in ready to go, you should have red LED on power button. It turns green when starting up. If you have neither, you have no power to the projector. If you get green LED but no projection, you have a setup issue (refer to manual) or a defective projector.

Hi, check eBay or Amazon.com! If not contact the Seller and let them know that the bulb arrived broken and to send a replacement. Insist on it because the last thing they want is a negative review. Good luck!
