Hello everyone.

A few months ago I had some guests over and we were watching a movie on my Sony G90 projector. It was late and we didn't finish the movie, so they went off to bed and I used the remote to put the projector in standby. When we went to start up the movie the next day, when I turned the projector back on it gave me an error code 66.

Several months later and when attempting to turn on the projector, I still get an error code 66.

Any ideas on what I should try next to resolve this issue?

According to the service manual self diagnostic function, a Code 66 means:

Code (color) - - - - - Type - - - - - Item - - - - Meaning
66 (orange) - - - - - -Protector - - H.STOP - - -Horizontal deflection is stopped.


----

Protector (orange): The power turns off and the projector is set to thestandby condition. Remove the cause of the trouble and press the ONkey on the remote commander to restore the power.

With the projector power unplugged, flip the projector orientation switches (yoke switches at the keypad) a few times. Corrosion in the switches can cause this. If not, like the H board or H power supply is bad.

There's a cutout sensor attached to the cover. It has to be closed properly

Okay, so now I am back to an error code 66. Haydn, do you have an H board or an H power supply?

Hey Curt, how would I identify the H Board and H Board power supply? do they have part numbers? just trying to narrow down the potential problem, and get the info needed to reference the manual, etc.
