What to do if your video projector has become noisy?

Let's be clear, there is no completely silent video projector when it is in use. However, if the noise becomes more noticeable and annoying while using the equipment, such as when watching a movie, it is necessary to find the source of the noise. In this article, we aim to help you identify the source of the problem with your video projector to return to the usual sound level.

POTENTIAL CAUSES OF THIS FAULT:

• Poor location selection

• Lack of regular maintenance

• Fan malfunction

• Improper wiring of the video projector

WARNING
Before carrying out any work on your appliance,
make sure you properly disconnect it from the mains electricity supply.
There is a risk of an electric shock.

Poor location selection

Your video projector needs room to function optimally. If it is embedded or against a wall, the ventilation may run longer and thus make noise. (Ideally, we recommend leaving a space of 30 cm around the ventilation areas to minimize noise).

Lack of regular maintenance

Your projector for video is prone to gathering dust which can lead to overheating and increase its noise levels. Regular maintenance is both easy and important to prevent this from happening. Here are three things we recommend doing regularly:

• Cleaning the filters of the video projector
• Cleaning the lens of the video projector
• Cleaning the casing

Fan malfunction

The fan helps cool down your video projector. The projection lamp can heat up quickly, which is why the fan is always running when you're using the video equipment. While some fans are noisier than others, if you suddenly notice that your fan is making more noise, it's probably a sign of a malfunction. To go back to a peaceful viewing experience, you may need to replace the fan.

Improper wiring of the video projector

If your video projector is still making noise, it could be due to an improper wiring. Improperly connecting the power cable can result in a crackling noise coming from the lamp or the transformer. To resolve this issue, please check the wiring of your video projector:

• Verify that the power cable is securely connected to both the transformer and the video projector.
• Avoid plugging it into a multi-outlet, as other devices connected to it may cause interference and make noise.

And there you have it! You can now enjoy your watching sessions without any distracting background noise.
