Author Topic: Solaria One SOS (magenta proyection) Geza Younger Film Handler Posts: 9 From: Tegucigalpa, Francisco Morazan, Honduras Registered: Nov 2017 posted 11-17-2017 12:36 AM                     I am having problems with a Solaria One Proyector where the image on the screen comes out as Light purple (magenta). Does anybody have a clue on how to fix this issue?  |  IP: Logged German Marin Expert Film Handler Posts: 227 From: Verbania (VB), Italy Registered: Jul 2001 posted 11-17-2017 09:49 AM                     Have you tried to switch channel or something else?  |  IP: Logged Geza Younger Film Handler Posts: 9 From: Tegucigalpa, Francisco Morazan, Honduras Registered: Nov 2017 posted 11-17-2017 10:08 AM                     I have pretty much done everything; Reseated cards, by cleaning connecters with an eraser and contact cleaner, this procedure has helped with other on screen anomalies but not with the light purple magenta on screen problem. Have reseated the dmd cables for the light engine. Didnt have an effect by doing this. I have also swapped icp cards from another working proyector and the problem still persist. ICPs are working properly. CHRISTIE is sending a new imb and a new back plane. I have seen on a thread that when back planes or back pannel give you trouble, it start to give you purple on screen. I hope we can fix this problem. We have had 2 weeks of downtime.  |  IP: Logged Dave Macaulay Film God Posts: 2321 From: Toronto, Canada Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-17-2017 10:16 AM                     I think if the projector is showing magenta when projecting the ICP white pattern the IMB is pretty much ruled out as a problem. But I guess Christie knows a lot more about their products than I do. Changing the backplane will not be much fun.  |  IP: Logged Geza Younger Film Handler Posts: 9 From: Tegucigalpa, Francisco Morazan, Honduras Registered: Nov 2017 posted 11-17-2017 10:58 AM                     Another person had a similar problem and apparently it was the back plane. I hope im in the right direction. Will let you guys know what happens when I swap a new back plane.  |  IP: Logged Andrew Thomas Master Film Handler Posts: 273 From: Pearland, TX, USA Registered: Jun 2012 posted 11-20-2017 12:59 AM                     I've never had the screen go magenta on any of our three Solaria Ones which will hit 4 years of service time on Christmas Day. They have turned red, and that was seemingly just a loose card cage issue. Please update once you find the issue.  |  IP: Logged Geza Younger Film Handler Posts: 9 From: Tegucigalpa, Francisco Morazan, Honduras Registered: Nov 2017 posted 12-12-2017 02:08 AM                     What do you mean by a loose card cage issue, can you expand plz?  |  IP: Logged
