Shelagh McNallyPosted on September 25, 2012 Posted in FixYourDLP, Projector Lamp Replacement Guides — No Comments ↓

Replacing the BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 projector lamp in your BenQ MP611c projector is fast and simple when you follow our step-by-step guide.

Step 1: Know when to replace

You can expect up to 4,000 hours from the BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 in your BenQ MP611c before you need to replace it. Follow these 3 easy steps for a new projector lamp.

Warning messages

When the BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 lamp is approaching end of life the BenQ MP611c projector’s lamp indicator will light red. At the same time warning messages will appear on screen.

First Warning: The BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 lamp has been in operation for 3000 hours. Replace the lamp soon so the BenQ MP611c projector will continue to work at optimum levels.

Second Warning: The BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 lamp has been in operation for 3950 hours. Replace the lamp as soon as possible to keep the BenQ MP611c projector working at optimum levels.

Third warning: The BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 lamp has been in operation for 4000 hours. You’ll see this message for 30 seconds along with the LAMP indicator lighting up red for 30 seconds. Replace the lamp immediately.

Final warning: You’re out of time! The BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 has reached end of life. The projector will shutdown in 30 seconds. The lamp MUST be replaced immediately before the BenQ MP611c projector will turn back on.

Step 2: Buying an authentic lamp

Be sure the purchase an authentic BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 projector lamp for your BenQ MP611c 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.

Looking for a less expensive option but more eco-friendly option? Want more information? Watch our step-by-step video on replacing only the BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 bulb instead of the entire lamp housing.

Step 3: Install the new BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 lamp

Before changing the lamp:

Reduce the risk of electrical shock by disconnecting the power cord on the BenQ MP611c 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 MP611c lamp cover in place. (Use a magnetic screwdriver to make the whole process easier.)

Remove the lamp cover and place it to one side.

Remove the BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 lamp cords from the slots.
Disconnect the BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 lamp connector by pushing it
against the projector while pulling it up.

Loosen the screw on the BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 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!

Click up the wire handle and gently pull out the BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 lamp. Pulling too quickly can cause the bulb to shatter. Learn what to do should the bulb shatter.

Insert the new BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 lamp making sure the handle is fully locked.

Tighten the lamp screw. Re-connect the BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 lamp connectors to the BenQ MP611c projector.

Re-install the BenQ MP611c lamp cover and tighten the screw.
Reset the total lamp hour timer.

NOTE: The BenQ 5J.J2C01.001 lamp contains mercury and should not be thrown into regular garbage. Recycle your used lamps! If you bought from an authentic manufacturer they will recycle the lamp for you at no extra cost (another reason to buy authentic lamps!

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 MP611c projector.

Press and hold the Exit 5 button on the BenQ MP611c projector for 5 seconds to display the total used lamp time.
Press Auto on the projector or on the remote control to reset the Lamp Hour to “0”.
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.J2C01.001 lamp:

Keep your air filters clean to avoid overheating the projector.
Use the Lamp Power option on the BenQ MP611c projector and set to Economic Mode to reduce the amount of power used but extend lamp life.

When to replace the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 projector lamp

Shelagh McNallyPosted on September 24, 2012 Posted in FixYourDLP, Projector Lamp Replacement Guides — No Comments ↓

Your BenQ projector will give you plenty of warnings when it’s time to replace the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp. You can expect up to 3,000 hours of use from the lamp depending on the frequency of use and whether the machine is maintained properly.

Watch for these warning signs that the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 is approaching end of life:

1. The Lamp Replace Indicator on the projector begins to blink.
2. The picture becomes quite dim or the colors look unnatural.
3. Warning messages about replacing the lamp appear on screen.

Authentic lamps are crucial

It’s important to purchase a BenQ 5J.J1Y01.001 lamp and avoid generic “compatible” lamps. These knock-off lamps have inferior workmanship and are not manufactured with the proper materials to keep your projector working properly.

At first glance generic compatible lamps seem like an incredible bargain. But these so called generic lamps are prone to explosion and have been created using toxic substances such as Krypton-85.

Using a counterfeit generic lamp will also void any warranty for your BenQ W600/BenQ W6500 projector.

Follow this 3-step guide to replace the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp in your BenQ W6500 projector.

Step 1: When to replace the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp

Your BenQ W6500 projector will give you plenty of warnings when it’s time to replace the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp. You can expect up to 3,000 hours of use from the lamp depending on the frequency of use and whether the machine is maintained properly.

Warning Messages

Your BenQ W6500 projector will give you plenty of warnings when the BenQ 5J.J2605.001lamp is approaching its end of life. You can find out the number of hours left by accessing the Information/Lamp Hour menu.

Your first warning to replace the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp will show up when the lamp has been in operation for 2000 hours. If the projector is being run in Economic Mode you may continue until the second warning at 2980 hours.

The second warning appears at 2980 hours–the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 is approaching end of life and should be replaced lamp immediately.

Time is up! At 3000 hours the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 is out of life. Time is up. The final warning will flash and then the BenQ W6500 will shut down for good. The projector will not turn on until the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp has been replaced.

Step 2: Buying the best BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp

It can be confusing trying to find the proper BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp for your BenQ W6500 projector. The Internet has been flooded with companies offering “compatible” generic lamps at bargain prices. These are NOT authentic lamps and should be avoided.

Your BenQ W6500 projector is a sophisticated machine with sensitive electronic components. The BenQ 5J.J2605.001 projector lamp has been designed specifically to keep your projector operating at optimum levels. Generic “compatible” lamps are made with copycat technology that use inferior and often toxic materials.

Generic lamps present many problems:

Learn how to spot a counterfeit lamp and their associated problems:

shorter lamp life than original lamps
toxic materials and carcinogenic parts including Krypton-85
prone to explosions
incompatibility causing damage to the sensitive electronics in your projectors
no guarantee or refunds – you’re on your own to get a refund from the company when you buy from a reseller.

Say yourself the hassle and buy an authentic BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp.

Step 3: Replacing the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp

Before changing the lamp:

Reduce the risk of electrical shock by disconnecting the power cord on the BenQ W6500 projector.
Reduce the risk of severe burns by allowing the projector to cool for at least 45 minutes.

Step-by-step instructions for changing the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 projector lamp

The lamp cover is located on the left side of the BenQ W6500 projector. Loosen the two screws holding the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp cover in place. (Use a magnetic screwdriver to make the whole process easier.)

Remove the lamp cover and place it to one side.

Lift up the wire handle on the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp and gently it out of the lamp out of the BenQ W6000 projector. Pulling too quickly can cause the bulb to shatter. Learn what to do if the bulb breaks.

Life the wire handle on the new BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp and slide it into the BenQ W6000 projector.
Tighten the screw on the new BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp. Be sure not to tighten the screw too tight or leave it too loose or the projector may not turn on.

Put the BenQ W6000 lamp cover back onto the projector. Tighten the two screws holding the cover in place.

Reset the total lamp operation timer.
