Your break down of the projector is the best and lays it our for us. It looks exhausting but at least you showed us what to expect and explained it perfectly along the way
This works when you can get replacement parts. Optoma first told me I didn’t have a warranty when I should have. Then told me there aren’t parts available to fix it, so even if I had a warranty they themselves don’t have DMD chips to fix it. After a lot of complaining to Amazon they accepted the return, but only gave me 2/3 of what I paid. Good on you being able to repair yours, I won’t ever be buying another Optoma product myself. I had a UHD30, now I went with a BenQ X3000i, should ship this month.
@@kamicaj all good. Just making sure people that watch this know that Optoma isn’t a good company. They deny warranties because they know they can’t get parts to fix them. I searched high and low, even e-mail Texas Instruments who manufactures the chips several times, no luck.
Wow.. Great tech lady. I got replaced my Optoma projector DMD chip this morning. After the repair Zoom knob not working. Can you please tell me how to fix it
I have an Optoma DLP projector model HD146X. I am an electronics tech of over 40 years experience. What is this DMD chip? Is that the same as the DLP chip? The one with the micro-mirrors for this DLP projector? I love this video. Of course, such high-tech has to be able to be manufactured with accuracy to align the chip and the image? I suppose the mounting hardware does that, but with such small pixels... is there a calibration/alignment procedure hidden in a service menu?
To each there own from personal experience get your self a little magnetics part mat Lost count the number of times I’ve hit a cup or bowl with hand and screws go flying’ 😂 Keep up the great work
@@kamicajafter messing up a few things learning just a tip for anyone reading in the future prolly overkill but like iPhone has so many diff screw sizes and if u put the wrong one in you’ll damage the whole board’ (ask me how I know) 😂 I take a picture then print it out’ Then lay picture ontop of magnetic map and then put the screw on the screw in the picture if that makes sense So you have printed out picture now when you remove a screw put it on-top of where it came out of on the printed pic’ Makes reassemble much easier!
I watched what limited videos are out there from other countries even. Then searched Amazon, found something that seemed to be the fit model number and hoped for the best.
Fantastic job! Great step by step explanation. Many thanks to you!
you are welcome
I really enjoyed your organization! and also, your refusal to go buy a new projector, but instead fix what you got!! Thanks!!

That is unfortunate. I was able to buy the chip on Amazon. Sorry it turned out poorly for you.

Thanks so much! After watching this, I'm confident that I can fix this myself 😀
Great breakdown and explanation, exactly what I was looking for.

Amazing... I am going to follow you and I am sure I can do it :)
What tools did you use in this video?
Hi, i can't find anywhere whats The DMD chip model for This projector. Could you help me?
NO ESD STRAP
Stay away from .47 dmd chips
How did you know which DMD chip to buy?

Where are you located, Kamica? I want to send my Optoma 35 HD projector to you to replace my dmd chip that has 1 dead pixel.
@@MurrayFCohen Hi. I only created this video to help others repair their projector. I am not a repair company.
Rebel contact the manufacturer for a dmd chip model number. Or take yours apart and the model number will be on the chip
