USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 06-12-2015 04:28 AM                     I get a 140 DLPComm R Fail i get this once a while & sometimes nothing happens but sometimes it will not let me switch macros like between flat & scope or blu ray like last night, when i wanted to go to flat at the drive in.also it will say data lost but the next night it will work fine. even if i do a reboot the same night it will still not let me .any ideas.no error codes are left either in the log. i do have the anamorphic lens w/turrent on this projector.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-12-2015 12:28 PM                        Have you tried the obvious things, e.g. checking that the boards are seated properly (they can work loose with repeated heat cycling), and possibly swapping out the dual SDI/BNC cables connecting the projector with the server's media block? Unless this an error that always repeats given specific circumstances (or in other words, if it happens randomly), my guess is that you're either looking at something simple like that, or hardware failure.  |  IP: Logged David J Hilsgen Expert Film Handler Posts: 192 From: SAUK RAPIDS,MN .
