Projector powers on then dies

[tragic kingdom]

Got a CineGo and is about 3 years old, original bulb still going I think. So here's the issue. lately, it powers on, picture looks great for about 30 seconds, then it just shuts down completely. anyone seen this before? Is it likely just a dying bulb, or could it be something else? The manual's not helping with this issue.

Hmm... this doesn't look like a bulb issue since it's just gonna dim or flicker, not cause shutdowns. It could be overheating. Try looking into the vents first if there's too much dust.

Do all the fans sound like they're spinning strongly? sometimes a quiet fan is a sign of trouble.

If the image looks fine at first, the issue might be overheating or a power supply problem rather than the lamp itself. Have you checked if the fans are running or if the vents are clogged with dust?

for me sounds like overheating is the most likely culprit. Check all vents for dust and make sure the cooling fans are running properly.

It seems like it might be overheating. Make sure all the vents are free of dust and that the cooling fans are working as they should.
