3 steps to a new BenQ CP220 projector lamp

Shelagh McNallyPosted on August 30, 2012 Posted in FixYourDLP, Projector Lamp Replacement Guides — No Comments ↓

Follow our 3-step guide to a new BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 projector lamp for your BenQ CP220 projector.

When the BenQ CP220 projector is in operation, the number of hours of lamp life is automatically calculated by the built-in timer. You can expect up to 3,000 hours from the BenQ 5J.J1S01.001.

Step 1: Know when to replace

Warning messages

When the BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 1 lamp is approaching end of life the BenQ CP220 projector’s lamp indicator will light red. At the same time warning messages will appear on screen.

First Warning: The BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 lamp has been in operation for 2800 hours. You can continue using the projector if you have turned on the Econo Mode, until the lamp reaches 2950 hours of usage.

Second Warning: The BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 lamp has been in operation for 2950 hours. Replace the lamp as soon as possible to keep the BenQ CP220 projector working at optimum levels.

Third warning: The BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 lamp has been in operation for 3000 hours. You’ll see this message for 30 seconds along with the LAMP indicator lighting up red for 40 seconds. Replace the lamp immediately.

Final warning: You’re out of time! The BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 has reached end of life. The projector will shutdown in 40 seconds. The lamp MUST be replaced immediately before the BenQ CP220 projector will turn back on.

Step 2: Buying an authentic lamp

Be sure the purchase an authentic BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 projector lamp for your BenQ CP220 projector. Although generic lamps seem like a bargain, you avoid knock-off “compatible” lamps. You get what you pay for and in the case of generic lamps it’s usually a long list of problems:

Save yourself unnecessary headaches and buy authentic from a recognized dealer. You’ll be getting a far superior product with a replacement guarantee and tech support.

Step 3: Install the new BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 lamp

Before changing the lamp:

Reduce the risk of electrical shock by disconnecting the power cord on the BenQ CP220 projector.
Reduce the risk of severe burns by allowing the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes.

The lamp cover is found on the bottom of the projector. Turn the projector over onto soft surface to protect the top of the projector. Loosen the two screws holding the BenQ CP220 lamp cover in place. (Use a magnetic screwdriver to make the whole process easier.)

Remove the lamp cover and place it to one side.

Loosen the screw on the BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 lamp. Be sure not to loose the screw as the projector will not turn on unless the lamp is properly secured into the projector. Using a magnetic-head screwdriver will ensure you don’t accidentally drop the screw into the projector!

Gently disconnect the BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 lamp connectors from the BenQ CP220 projector.

Click up the wire handle and gently pull the BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 lamp out. Pulling too quickly can cause the bulb to shatter. Learn what to do should the bulb shatter.

Tighten the screw on the lamp.
Re-connect the lamp connectors to the BenQ CP220 projector.

Re-install the BenQ CP120C lamp cover and tighten the screw.

Resetting the Lamp Hour Timer

It’s important to only reset the lamp timer when the BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 lamp has been replaced. Resetting the lamp timer without changing the BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 lamp can cause significant harm to your BenQ CP120C projector.

Press and hold the Exit 5 button on the BenQ MP610 projector for 5 seconds to display the total used lamp time.

Wait about 5 seconds to let the on screen display (OSD) disappear.
Only reset the Lamp Hour when a new lamp has been installed in order that the life BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 can be properly tracked and prevent the projector shutting down unexpectedly.

Extending the life of the BenQ 5J.J1S01.001 lamp:

Keep your air filters clean to avoid overheating the projector.
