Dot grid pattern on projector

[KDice]

Hi all, looking for help in fixing my epson powerlite home cinema 1440. Turned it on this morning(was working fine last night)and it’s displaying a grid pattern of four dots in lines across the screen. Tried the obvious on/off, then I reset the projector, switched hdmi cables, hdmi ports, even hooked up my Nintendo 64 with video cables. Nothing has worked.
I spoke with epson and they said it’s an HDMI port issue, but I don’t believe it since it happens with video input also.
Any ideas?

Any ideas

Looks just like this post, one of the fixes seemed to be reseating cables internally

TW5910 showing grid of dots

Hmm one minute all was fine watching the Robocop trailer. went out to put kettle on and came back to find a grid of pixel dots across the whole screen. closer inspection shows small groups of four dots evenly spaced in rows and columns all over the screen. tried changing cables and sources...

I just had the same problem tonight, Epson 2030. Took the thing apart, reseated the ribbon cables, and yes it worked for me.

Thanks for the info, y'all.
