Author Topic: How to reset lamp hours NEC900 w/DCC Frank A Cianciolo Film Handler Posts: 15 From: Clinton, Michigan USA Registered: Oct 2013 posted 12-06-2014 05:42 PM                        I've replaced a lamp, it works, but the projector still shows the old hours (only 900, sadly). How do I reset my hours for this new bulb?  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 12-06-2014 06:45 PM                     On the keypad/display, go to: - Configuration -> Reset -> Lamp Usage ->Left/Right for lamp selection -> down to reset counter BTW - Google will let you find user and installation manual for the NC900 ;-) - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I think I did do it through the DCC with a guy from Strong on the phone about a half a year ago. Strangely, he told me specifically NOT to do it through the projector keypad! I haven't a clue how we did it, as it took us around 15 minutes, with us taking stab after stab at it until it finally worked.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-08-2014 07:07 PM                     I just remoted in to one and looked. There are no reset button(s) for the lamps in a NC-900 that are even present in DCC. Note that all other NEC projectors have a setup button in DCC under the lamp tab where this reset resides. That setup button is not present under the lamp tab in the NC-900 when connected to DCC. Mark  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-09-2014 05:53 PM                     I've checked...it is not possible.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-09-2014 07:28 PM                     You can only do it at the projector LCD screen via the menu!

Select the SETUP tab, then RESET in the upper right corner...you can then choose which lamp to reset. Simple.  |  IP: Logged Adam Martin I'm not even gonna point out the irony.

Eat a dick, NEC.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-09-2014 10:58 PM                     Wow!

Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 12-10-2014 07:43 PM                     Just where he said. Go to Setup. In the Upper-Right...all by its lonesome is the Reset button. It will let you reset lamp hours, filter hours, douser count and I think one other thing. So WHY NEC? WHY make this one different?  |  IP: Logged
