Author Topic: NEC NC2000C No picture on the first show of the day Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-13-2017 03:21 PM                        First show of the day the projector starts fine - lamp strikes, automation works, sound comes on. However there is no picture on the screen. Unplugging and re-plugging the A BNC connector on the projector instantly resolves the issue and it does not repeat for the rest of the day. This is only happening on the first show of the day, and it is not happening every day. However, it does seem to be happening with increasing frequency. NEC NC2000C with GDC SX-2001 non-imb with 8.01 build 244. Projector is on firmware 4.302 and software 4.242 (I believe this was s2r4217s).  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-13-2017 04:53 PM                     Wonder if the dowser solenoid is acting up, or an iffy connection inside.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 01-13-2017 04:56 PM                        I have wondered about a dowser issue, but the picture comes on instantly when the cable is reconnected. Plus I think I have the projectors set to leave the dowser in the open position.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

I'd reseat BOTH and use some Deoxit (Gold or 5%) on the board's edge connectors. You might also want to look at the 292 errors and see if one of them is climbing a bit.  |  IP: Logged
