- I had someone send in their Optoma GT1080 Darbee with a lamp error and making a horrendous noise. The index mark had fallen off the wheel and the rest showed evidence of running too hot. It looks like there had been dust inside at one point which is very common for many projectors.
I verified the color wheel issue with replacing the index mark and then I actually had a used/good wheel to try to be 100% sure. Once I talked to the owner, I purchased a new color wheel, which I installed about a week later. Thankfully due to the magic of video, you get to see it all at once.
The only other thing I found was that the lamp assembly was using a known "not good" lamp inside. I re-used the housing with a good Osram bare lamp.

Jeez man! I never thought that trash lamps will cause such a huge plastic discolouration.... Another awesome video from Master Frank. Thanks a lot for sharing my friend!
Friend y really appreciate you're video 😃 In my case the colour wheel was fine ... But the adhesive was toast 😅 and make the same noise .... I make a trick and I no use a new adhesive .... Y just use a black permanent marker and for de moment works well done .... Today is 12/12/2022 .... I'll to tell you if this mark works .... Thanks my friend again for this video. Excuse me for my terrible grammar. From Bogotá Colombia 😀
Hello frank my TH-cam and Netflix symbols are usually red now they look orange is it the color wheel needed to be replaced if you can help me out it would be highly appreciated. TY
I replaced the bulb in this same projector, I turn it on and the bulb will turn on for a second then it will stop. Is this a color wheel issue or a bulb issue? The fan sounds normal and there is minimal dust. I have had it for 4 years without any issues
I changed out my color wheel because the color is off. The color is correct but the spinning is super loud. It is possible that I got a defective color wheel?
Using your video I able to replace the color wheel in our Optima 1080. Thank you for the video and the detail expressed in it!
hey mr. frank, could you please help me?!! I just have two questions and you seem like an expert so i’m going to shoot my shot. So, i have an optoma HD39Darbee 1080p. i’ve had it for a couple years and use it for gaming. my problem is that it makes the room incredibly warm (with open, good airflow), so i was wondering if attaching a metal heat sink to the bulb top plate would help cool it down, and if that makes sense? ADDITIONALLY, could I upgrade the bulb if I wanted to??? like are LED bulbs better, or is there anything i can swap it for to make it better!
Its amazing how hot these projectors can get, having just one fan surprised me. Another simple fix, cheers Frank.
I have multiple GT1080 Darbee's that are all experiencing powering off/overheating issues. Do you offer your repair services to the public? I would love to send them to you for repair if so.
I have one of these with the same problem. What is your email so I can shoot you a message?
Thanks for making this video, great to be able to follow your steps when it came to replacing a grinding colour wheel on my 1080e!
You are a god-send. My GT1080 Darbee was making clicky sounds and failed to start 3x before powering down with red error LEDs. New bulb didn't fix it. I followed your video, pulled out the color wheel, cleaned it, and noticed the black tape was dried and partially flecked off. I re-purposed some of the black tape that was already within the projector (covering some ribbon cable connectors - assuming those aren't strictly necessary), cut it to size, and placed it on top of the missing portion. Boots up fine. I'll let it run as long as this fix works, but at least now I know how to replace the color wheel when the time comes. Many thanks!
Thanks, your video helped me repair my projector.
Thank you, I just swapped the lamp and wheel
Knock-off lamps. You get what you pay for. Keep away from them everybody. they do more harm than good. I tried the transformer tape but I still had to superglue it. High peed and centrifugal effect then to throw the tape off. You need to leave the tape for 24-48 hrs for the adhesive to cure and bond solid rock. Good video again. I have quite a few oem new c wheels. Let me know if you need any.
Hi Frank, I have this projector that I was using for about 3 years. The bulb, as far as I can tell, went out. The colours would keep on changing when turned on and then the projector would turn off when with the lamp light flashing red. I tried to replace the bulb with an original OSRAM bulb but the project wouldn’t even turn on now and flashes the lamp light again. It did this with a different bulb as well.
Your video worked great for the tear-down and cleaning of my projector, unfortunately, the color wheel I purchased was mis-advertised as it was too large for my Optoma GT1080. Do you have any suggestions on where to get a reliable replacement for this?
Do you have a parts link for the new color wheel? I think mine is creating a super high pitch noise, so I might just replace.
Hi, what dmd chip does this gt1080 projector have? Because I have the problem of white dots, thank you very much
Any tips on where to look for a good replacement colour wheel for this model? Amazon is selling a few but the prices range from 25-125 bucks.
