    Check your Power

  • It is an obvious step, but if you haven’t tried already, check the power cord. Check if it is correctly plugged in and if the main power switch to the projector is turned on.
  • Check if the projector fan is spinning. This should give you a brief idea if the projector is receiving power.
  • Check Your Batteries

  • If you are using the Projector remote control to turn on the projector, you may want to check if the batteries have completely depleted.
  • Remove the batteries and rub it against your jeans for a few seconds until you see the surface is mildly hot. Insert the batteries and try to turn on the projector. If it works, you may need to replace the batteries.

    Check your Projector Temperature

  • All the modern projectors come with a built-in safety feature that prevents the projector from being turned on if it has overheated or if the projector lamp is too hot.
  • In the meantime, make sure that the filters are clean to make it possible for optimum air circulation. Without proper air circulation, the projector will overheat and refuse to turn on.
  • Also, check the projector’s LED indicators that will flash if the projector is overheating. Check the projector manual to identify the correct indicator for overheating.
  • Check your Projector Lamp

  • The projector still uses Lamps to project the image and the lamps life can vary depending on the projector quality.
  • Check your projector manual to check for the project bulb life. If the lamp has exceeded its life expectancy, you may need to replace the bulb to make the projector work again.
  • Your projector may also have an LED indicator to detect lamp failure.
  • Conclusion

    Most of the time, the “projector won’t turn on” issue is due to a loose connection or faulty power cord. However, it can also occur if the projector board or bulb is defective. In any case, check your projector manual for service to identify the problem. Do let us know if you were able to resolve the issue in the comments.
