Power Problems
The LP815/LP820 communicates its status via an LED and an LCD located on the keypad. When this
status LED is green, you know that the projector is working properly. When the status LED is solid red or
flashing red, you know there are lamp, power or startup problems. The frequency with which the status
indicator blinks red indicates one of several error codes. These error codes provide crucial information
about projector malfunctions. The LCD panel provides text messages related to the error messages.
Below is a table that shows the meaning the various LED states.
NOTE We strongly suggest that you follow the entire power diagnosis sequence.

♦ If you are installing a new controller ECA, make sure to install the NV RAM chip from the old
controller. See step 7 above.
♦ Install the left IR gasket.
♦ Align the two holes on the ECA with the alignment pins on the optical engine (circled below). Make
sure the two connectors align properly before pressing the controller

♦ Make sure to connect all cables shown in step 3 above.
♦ Torque all screws to 7 in/lb (8 Nm).
♦ If necessary, flash the projector with the latest software.

NV RAM Chip
The NV RAM chip plugs into a socket on the controller ECA. Each NV RAM chip is set up to maximize
the image reproduction for a specific optical engine. A unique chip ships with each new optical engine.
Thus, when an engine is replaced, the NV RAM chip installed on the controller ECA must be removed
and replaced with the chip that came with the new engine. Likewise, when you replace the controller
ECA, you need to remove the chip from the old controller and install it on the new one.
The NV RAM chip is not available as a separate replaceable part.
The procedure assumes that the controller ECA is already removed from the projector.
Remove the NV RAM chip
1 Turn the controller upside down on the work surface.
NOTE The controller ECA in the LP815/LP820 differs slightly from the controller ECA shown
below. The NV RAM chip is located near the I/O panel adjacent to the left IR window. Its
appearance is identical to the chip shown in these illustrations.
