Author Topic: (Resolved Question) Blinking-RED rear-indicator lights on NEC NC2000C Digital Grant Chambers Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Branson Missouri, USA Registered: Jul 2012 posted 07-10-2012 10:50 PM                     Ok, so I'm new here and new to projection as well. I have 10, 35mm projectors as well as a Digital DLP NEC NC2000C that I operate. Today, the Digital started screaming at me right in the middle of Spiderman with blinking red rear-indicator lights, and an error message that says 'lamp unit'. So does it need replaced? Lamp filter? I don't mess with the stuff, since I'm new and all, (They just want me to focus on not scratching films right now--can't blame em) but my chief projectionist isn't here and I can't get ahold of him. Any answers/comments are appreciated!  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 07-10-2012 11:35 PM                     If you're not authorized to work on that stuff, best back off, let the red tail lights keep blinking and let the main guy worry on the condition of this digital equipment. But report to him on your findings. Just keep the film rolling on those 10 projectors-what they want you to do.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 07-11-2012 12:14 AM                     If you can't get the chief projectionist, isn't there a technician you guys work with that you can call? Or is the chief the only one with his/her number?  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-11-2012 12:59 AM                     Here are the rules of this forum.

If so, then please RTFM first  |  IP: Logged Grant Chambers Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Branson Missouri, USA Registered: Jul 2012 posted 07-11-2012 02:13 PM                     Yes, I've read the manual. It dosen't specify. Called the tech and turns out one of the striking mechanisms is out/faulty. Waiting on a new part.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-11-2012 02:23 PM                        Grant - you really need to go read the forum rules. Specifically, you have to change the title of this thread. (Do it with the "Edit" button.") "QUESTION!" is a teaser title and doesn't tell what the topic is about. You need to use a title that gives the reader a hint what he's going to read.  |  IP: Logged Grant Chambers Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Branson Missouri, USA Registered: Jul 2012 posted 07-11-2012 02:29 PM                     I apologize to all that I have offended. Last night was an emergency. I tried everything but this forum. Gave it a shot, and it has obviously caused more problems. How do I delete my profile???  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-11-2012 05:34 PM                        There's no need to delete yourself. You just need to realize, this is a forum with strict rules. It can seem a little heavy-handed but it helps keep things readable and concise.  |  IP: Logged Ron Funderburg Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 814 From: Chickasha, Oklahoma, USA Registered: Nov 2007 posted 07-11-2012 05:55 PM                        I am assuming the bad post is gone! We all cross the line sometimes though usually not all that far. Well maybe not all maybe just me! But then in the words of Bud Costello "I'm a bad boy."  |  IP: Logged Grant Chambers Film Handler Posts: 29 From: Branson Missouri, USA Registered: Jul 2012 posted 07-11-2012 10:08 PM                     Haha. My bad post was the title. It said "QUESTION!" that is all.  |  IP: Logged Randy Stankey Film God Posts: 6539 From: Erie, Pennsylvania Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-11-2012 10:46 PM                     People at this forum ride each other all the time. People disagree with each other and holler at each other on a fairly regular basis. There is no put-down intended. Simply put, it's a form of "Radical Honesty." It's better to just tell people what you think instead of pussy footing around the issue. Almost anything short of name calling and putting people down is acceptable. Once in a while, people even call each other names... then we all laugh about it and go on to the next thing. If you want to play in this neighborhood, that's the way things are.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-11-2012 10:54 PM                     The next time you have a problem and come to the forum to try and find an answer, you will be VERY happy that we do not tolerate teaser subjects, because you will actually be able to FIND previous discussions on that issue. Just imagine if every thread was titled like this: Question I have a question Does anybody know... I'm stumped Help Damn this thing Can somebody help? What are these things and why are they blue? Those titles are absolutely useless, hence the rule.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 07-11-2012 11:58 PM                     quote: Brad Miller What are these things and why are they blue? They are my balls and they're blue from lack of use. Sorry, couldn't resist. But it also proves the Grand Pooh-Bahs' point that such titles are useless. Grant, don't be afraid to ask questions here, there are a lot of folks with a cumulative experience of literally hundreds of years in the industry. Just be concise in your thread titles and NEVER put contact info in your posts and you'll get on nicely here.  |  IP: Logged Brad Miller Administrator Posts: 17775 From: Plano, TX (36.2 miles NW of Rockwall) Registered: May 99 posted 07-12-2012 12:57 AM                     That one went right over your head, eh Tony? Manny will be along soon to explain.  |  IP: Logged
