"Life saver" thank you so much for this content.
My BenQ had stopped working (just showing fault lights temp/lamp.
After opening it up and following the same steps in your video, I discovered a small piece of broken plastic inside (as well as a fan that had been put back in "the wrong way up" I assume from a previous owner)...
Anyway.... thanks to this tutorial I managed to clean the unit/fans etc. and is now working again. Saved me buying a new lamp (as that was not the problem).
I assume one of the fans just wasn't functioning properly (blowing inward, instead of outward) as well as the loose piece of plastic inside rolling around and possibly getting caught up somewhere.
The amount of dust build up was crazy. Mine is a 2013 model so older than this one and perhaps hadn't been cleaned before.... many thanks again 👍😎❤

Well done. Very thorough and detailed repair as always.

I've never paused and played a video so much in my life... :-) This was super helpful. I have the same exact projector and only have about 1800hrs over the 6yrs that I'll own it this Dec. Mine, out of the blue, just recently beeped and give me a heat lamp warning before turning off. I pulled it apart like you did and just dusted and cleaned it all up - there was some buildup but nothing crazy. I also just added a couple of external small pc fans to it - one at the front to exhaust and on on the left for intake. Hopefully that heating issue doesn't happen again! I think I'm OK, as for a test I ran it at full lamp strength (instead of the usual Eco) for 3hrs straight - no hiccups!

I'm glad it was helpful! Thanks for letting me know. This is why I post these. Enjoy your projector!

Hello Frank, Excellent video! I have the exact same model. The lamp blew and shattered and after I replaced the lamp, I experience the exact same issues (it would run for about 3 minutes and then shut down from over heating). Turns out there was glass trapped in the same fan as in this video. I followed the steps exactly, including cleaning out all the dust from the unit but now when I plug the power in, it does not power up (nothing engages). I only get the green light on the start button and the red light on the power button. I verified that all the connectors were plugged in correctly on the power board and the on main board. Please Help. Thanks in advance.

@FixitFrank Thanks Frank. I check several times and all the pins are aligned. I brought an replacement power supply board off ebay and nothing, same problem. Either that board is bad as well or something else. I can't think of what else to try. Don't want to spend to buy a new projector unless it is absolutely necessary.

Double check the alignment between the low voltage power supply pins and the mainboard. That is the exact symptom of it being offset by one position. I'm referring the riser pins that go through the metal structure and let the mainbaord plug into it. It's super easy to offset that connection. Guess how I know? :)

Frank, a quick question for you. From your experience, if a fan in a projector needs replacing, is it a good idea to replace all fans at the same time with new ones? I really open my projectors every 700 hours and clean them as thorough as possible. But what happens when it is time for a fan to say good bye? Do we sent all the family at once to paradise? :) :)

@FixitFrank Thank you my friend! 5000 hours is a bit too early to replace spinning blade fans IMHO. I have fans in pcs (cheap 2 dollar fans) that still work after a decade (OK I lubricate them but nevertheless) and I found out that my BENQ TW533's fans are server quality level fans. But this is not a server or pc it is a pj and you are the pro in these! So, your opinion counts as 100 times more! Thanks again for all the info you provide, never can have too many repair videos!

I don't think you need to replace all of them. Only the fans that feed or take air from the lamp are really going to feel the abuse of the heat. The power supply or DMD fan will not have the same thermal load. As long as they stay clean, the other fans should last quite a while. It comes down to how much you want to spend in my opinion. If the cost is not prohibitive to buy all new fans, then it can't hurt. Many service manuals even say you're supposed to change the fans every 5000 hours which is silly in my opinion.
