How to find out Hours on a PT AE100 without remote

[ibster]

Ok, my old trusty panny is still running but for some reason it does not work with the remote control anymore, ive tried another remote but still no joy so i think the issue is with the projector.

Is there anyway i can see how many hours the projector has done via some sort of service menu using the RS232 port ? Thinking about upgrading so want to see how many hours left before i sell on.

cheers

My PTAE100 went the same way. I used the remote into a learning remote which registered the remote output, which proved it was the receiver in the PJ. I gave up at that point as the PJ was over 4 years old. I passed it on to my daughter at Uni over a year ago, and its still going strong wowing her mates! For what you would get for the PJ second hand, with no remote control, I think the lamp hours would make no difference. Good luck mate.

thanks for that, i have spent many an hour and many learning remotes trying to get the damn thing working but still no joy, ive had it well over 4 years now i think, so its served me good, cant complain.
