Sanyo PLC-XM150L LCD Video Projector Repair | No Power | Power Supply Repair

Customer sent in a pair of older Sanyo projectors that need some repairs. This one has no power when you plug it in. Found the power supply had a problem and there were some random screws floating around. This is an old but really bright projector. Its only XGA resolution but its something like 5 or 6000 lumens. Built like a tank too.
I do a bunch of electronic troubleshooting in this one. While a lot of repair is looking for "X Y and Z" that usually fail, you can't get tunnel vision and always reach for the parts canon.

3LCD? XGA? My Epson is exactly the same specs and I am using it daily! (Fixed the beast, sourced the blue polarizer localy!!!! ) . Loving the love you show towards repairs. Old(er) or new(er) models you treat them with respect. We NEED to keep the old machines running as long as possible! Thanks Frank!

Hello Frank, Good work you do. Another fault on the SANYO PLC-XM150L (Dead) (No LED) Power Supply C640=22uf@50v C635=470uf:@16v C685=22uf@16v. I had 3 units to totally strip down and clean, but unfortunately I made the big mistake cleaning the Polorized Glass (Red Green Blue) with a swab. Totally ruined them (So Delicate). So now I am looking for new sets RGB if anyone has a few stripped down Optical Units. Pretty Please

Thank you!! and oh no! I did that once. I learned the same lesson. Now I don't even breath on those. Reach out to my friend at Time electronics. [e-mail] They start the labor day holiday soon, so reach out asap. I might have some from a 4500 but I would contact the folks at Time. They should have them

@@FixitFrank Thank You, I should had really read the SM Manual since these are the first projectors I have came across using this projection format of Polorized glass in front of the LCD Prism.
