Common Repair Services

Our laboratory is equipped to handle complex component replacements, bypassing the need for expensive full-board swaps. We address the root cause of the failure.

data_usage

Colour Wheel

Loud whining, buzzing, or flickering colours on DLP projectors indicate failing colour wheel bearings. We replace shattered and seized wheels with original OEM components.

Colour Wheel
memory

DMD Chip

A "starry night" effect with white or black dots across the image is caused by dead micro-mirrors on the DLP chip due to thermal stress. We replace the DMD and upgrade cooling pads.

LCD Block

Yellow or purple discolouration affects 3LCD models (Polariser Burn). We strip the optical engine, replace burnt inorganic filters, and realign the LCD panels on all 6 axes.

Laser Engine

When laser banks fail to ignite or lose immense brightness, we perform laser diode array diagnostics, phosphor wheel motor replacement, and optical path deep cleaning.

HDMI Ports

"No Signal" errors caused by yanked cables or damaged connections. We use micro-soldering to replace physical HDMI and DisplayPort sockets directly on the mainboard.

Overheating

Projectors shutting down after 5 minutes display a Temp warning. We resolve this by replacing seized fans, replacing thermistors, and flushing liquid cooling loops.

Laboratory Level Intervention

We transcend basic modular swaps. Our facility is equipped for profound electromechanical and optical restoration.

BGA Rework & Logic Recovery

Modern smart projectors rely on embedded eMMC storage and complex SOCs. Thermal cycling frequently fractures the Ball Grid Array (BGA) solder joints beneath these chips, resulting in the dreaded "Boot Loop".

Instead of demanding an expensive mainboard replacement, our technicians utilise infrared BGA rework stations to reflow or reball the SOC, restoring logic functionality.

Optical Bench Calibration

In 3-Chip DLP and 3LCD systems, the R, G, and B imaging panels must converge perfectly. A drop or severe impact can displace the dichroic mirrors by fractions of a millimeter.

We utilise six-axis optical alignment rigs to mechanically correct the Scheimpflug intersection, ensuring pixel-perfect edge-to-edge sharpness that digital correction cannot emulate.

HV Power Supply (SMPS)

Projector ballasts are highly stressed Switched-Mode Power Supplies, generating up to 25,000 Volts to ignite a high-pressure mercury or Xenon arc lamp.

When a projector clicks repeatedly but fails to strike, the igniter coil, MOSFETs, or filter capacitors have likely failed. We utilise high-voltage differential probes to trace shorts, safely rebuilding the ballast circuit.

Preventative Maintenance Protocols

Thermal stress is the primary catalyst for catastrophic failure. A structured preventative maintenance (PM) schedule intercepts degradation before it compromises expensive optical architecture.

cleaning_services

Ultrasonic Decontamination

Removal of micro-particulate matter from light tunnels and LCD polarisers to prevent organic filter combustion ("Polariser Burn").

Thermal Interface Renewal

Stripping hardened factory thermal paste from DMD chips and Laser Banks, replacing it with high-conductivity industrial compounds.

Kinetic Lubrication

Servicing the bearings of high-RPM colour/phosphor wheels and MagLev cooling fans to eliminate friction noise and prevent seizure.
