Cleaning an Acer X110P projector color wheel to fix intermittent flickery picture or colour strobing.
The sensor next to the wheel gets covered in dust and stops it correctly detecting the rotation speed of the colour wheel.
You video is very useful in showing how to remove the top of the projector. I bought an Acer X110 cheap but it showed white parallel vertical lines. On removing the motherboard, I found one green connector was not plugged in. I reconnected it and the white lines have now gone and the picture is fine. Thanks for posting!
Glad it helped :)
Hello, i have the same issue : vertical Line after a few minutes , where is the Green connector you speak about? On the top of motherboard ( and we can see it quickly) or behind?
Thank you
I had this same peoblem with an older x110 Acer projector. It was a reasonable projector when I bought it in 2010 but every month or few month I had to have it cleaned by Acer. It seems to be a design flow with the x110. I got fed up of it after a year so started cleaning it out myself. weirdly enough when the dlp chip started to fail in 2014 no flickering problems accrued. in December I replaced it for an nec m300w and that has been flawless for the 2 years I have had It!

its works. thanks mate 🤘
Glad to have helped.
Needed this video to clean the color wheel of my Acer. Thank you for taking time out and making this. Proj is running like new now :)
I am glad it helped. My only regret with this video is that I didn't voice over it with instructions. Hopefully it is still helpful enough just following what I do on screen :)
icannotgetafreename Have no regrets brother! If ppl aren't able to figure out with video alone.. they can darn well make one on their own n upload with instructions rather than crib. Cheers!
hey great tutorial, but you don´t specify which product you used to clean up the color wheel. Isopropilic alchohol in aerosol works for that or you have to use another specific product? Thanks!
Just compressed air / air duster.
Hi I would like to find out what if the lens shows line and what spray do you use.
Question on this, we have an acer x112 and it seems that after replacing the lamp, it stays red. I hear a small clicking sound when i press power but the led is not blinking or anything. It just stays red. Do you know what the problem maybe?
Does it work again with the old bulb?
Hi great video......I have this projector and today the picture just stopped working and I noticed a burning smell do you know what it could be...it turns on and I get the blue power button light up and I can hear the fan but no picture and the plastic burning smell is a bit strange please help 🙏
First thing I'd do is try another bulb.
@@freename many thanks for the advice 🙏 👍
Hi.
I have Acer 112 (almost identical to the one on the video).
The problem is that it doesn't work (the colour wheel runs three times then the indicator on the power button blinks blue twice then gets red).
I cleaned it before that via compressed air.
Now, after watching some videos and reading some comments I think that the sensor somewhere in the colour wheel has got some dust on it after using pressured air (maybe inappropriately).
I even ordered new bulb, installed, no change.
The sensor on the one in my video is a small black chip near the inner metal wheel holding the color wheel. It detects a magnet or reflection of light from the metal wheel and counts the rotations. (Not sure which method it uses.)
@@freename here I uploaded a video showing its problem.
Hope you can find some time to watch and say your opinion on it.
Thanks in advance

Hello, i have a error in my acer x110 - Red blue lights blinking continuously I've looked in the manual and there's nothing that mentions two lights flashing at the same time, I've checked the cables and the bulb and everything is fine.
I'm sorry but I don't know :( It has been years since I've had to fix a problem on the Acer projectors.
Dear friend. I have an acer x1120h that started showing its projection with a purplish/pinkish colour. It seems that every white part of the image was replaced for this purplish/pinkish. It happens without it being connected to any device. By itself, in the projector logo screen or menus. I don't use it with a computer, for example. Only with a PS4, through hdmi. But, as I said, it's happening even with nothing connected to it. So, I don't think it's a matter of RGB settings/configuration. I even changed everything in the menu to test... Is it a matter of cleaning the colour wheel as well?
I'm no expert but Id guess it could be
1) Generally old and discoloured optics (maybe the DLP panels?)
2) Discoloured colour wheel?
3) Possibly a bad bulb.
Given the age of these projects I wouldn't say I'm surprised. Throw it and find a slightly newer one :)
Sir what did you use to clean it?
Air duster / can of compressed air.
I have an Epson Powerlite700 and it has a pinkish purple tint in the lower left corner. I've looked around on different forums and the only thing I can think of is maybe the color wheel is dirty or damaged? Would that cause a tint on the picture? Thanks for your time!
I normally find that is caused by dust stuck somewhere in the optics. Colour wheel rotates so it would have to be a a strange damage or discoloration to be a colour wheel problem in my view.
Maybe you can get information about your projector from this company in Hammond Ind. / INTERLIGHT_ 7939 New Jersey Ave. HAMMOND, IN 46323- 3040 ph. 219-989-0060 FAX: 219-989-1022 Sure hope this information will be helpful to someone.
what liquid have you used to clean the lens please?
+MH P I didn't / don't. The can, if I used it in thr video, is compressed air / "air duster".
Hello i dropped my projector about 50cm and when i connect ac red led steady lighting when i press the power button blue led blinking and while its blinking it sounds like click and it dont work please tell me what is the problem
Probably broken the filament in the bulb. First thing to do would be swap or buy a new bulb, after that.. not sure. Check the color wheel is spinning.
How can i detect the bulb is broken?
@@erdemkahraman5112 By trying a bulb that is known to work and see if it works, then you know your old bulb is broken :D
@@freename do we understand by seeing orrr?
Slt mon problème ce que le voiyent rouge et vert de projecteur acer ×110 cliente en semble aide moi à dépanner.merci
Check cables. Check with a different computer. Does the projector menu or self test have missing colours?
Google Translate:
Vérifiez les câbles. Vérifiez avec un autre ordinateur. Le menu du projecteur ou l'auto-test présente-t-il des couleurs manquantes ?
Hey there, My acer projector just stoppoed working one night. I thought it was the bulb so i bought a new one. I have installed it but now the lED just flashes purple when i turn it on nd nothing happens. Do you know what this could be? Regards
Not much of a clue without seeing it. How quickly does it start flashing after you press the power button? Does any light attempt to come out of the lense before it switches off and starts flashing?
like 2 seconds after. No light at all comes out of the lense of noise from anything starting up
Other than checking that the color wheel and fans are able to spin.. I can't tell without having it in front of me. Good luck though.
Make sure the Lamp cover and other covers of the Projector are perfectly closed. Hope this helps you.
Difficult to know without having it in front of me. I can't remember if the bulb attempts to light up when the colour wheel sensor is dirty. Often projectors turn on the bulb (low brightness) and then test the colour wheel. That might indicate if you have somehow got a problem with the new bulb or the high power circuit to the bulb.
I'd recommend either trying to clean the colour wheel magnetic sensor or show this video and information to a technical friend or family member who can do it for you. Good luck.. also don't blame me if you do damage to your projector :D
Hello , i Need a Help.
My BENQ MP610 is not working.
when i connect it to the power the led indicators turned on, Then i press the power button the projector turned on but no light comes out of it. but the fans are spinning.
also no Lamp Indicators turned on, so can you help me with this?
Tried a different bulb?
I Have an Another bulb but I am Not Sure That is in Working conditions or Not, Did You Know How To Test The Lamp?
Lucky for me I had two projects and bulbs to check with. I could just swap them.
So What Can I Do? to test
Not sure. If you have the funds I would possibly buy a brand new bulb/lamp that you know is working. (Make sure they accept returns!!) If it works then you keep it. If it doesn't work you know your project is faulty and you send back the bulb.
Hi why we must clear the colour wheel?
If getting unexpected shutdowns that are not related to dust on fan vents. Or flickering colours.
@@freename My projektor say the lamb is very hot and projektion will be shut down. Is this concerning with your video thank you.?as seeing All fan clear
Use air duster / compressed air on everything. (Make sure projector is off when you do!)
@@freename thank you I will do.
Why no sound😢
It was in the days before I thought my channel and videos were helpful to people. :(
Power is comeing but it is not oning
Вы про дули или масло залили? 🤔
I used Compressed air. Do not use oil or other liquids.
My acer x110p turns on for a few minutes (2 or 3) and then it turns off and the power button starts blinking, after around 15 minutes can I turn it back on, but still with the same problem. I've bought a new bulb but that didn't fix it... I hope that someone can help me with this problem
While the projector is off!!! use an air duster to get into every part of the projector to remove dust!
Okay, thank u very much, but that is not the problem, I saw that on some parts have came some water, it is on the motherboard too, do you know how to get it off?
How would water get into it?
@@freename I don't know, I've got it for free. But I've invested pretty much money into it. 1/2 weeks ago it worked just fine... But now I've got a error light: 2x blue and 1x red. I've removed all the water stuff from the motherboard and this error code was one I didn't have before
@@tigovisser7645 Water doesn't just appear on a board, someone must have (recently!) spilled something on or near it.
Когда взял за стекло, сразу дизлайк получил!
It might be lost in translation. I don't see anywhere in the video where I hold it by the glass. I turn the glass using the edge but look like I was very careful not to put my fingers on the main optical faces of the glass.
Google Translate:
Это могло быть потеряно при переводе. Я не вижу на видео нигде, где держу его за стакан. Я поворачиваю стекло, используя край, но, похоже, я был очень осторожен, чтобы не прикасаться пальцами к основным оптическим поверхностям стекла.
