Viewsonic projector pj500-2 inputs not working.

[homerhurst78]

I just acquired a viewsonic pj500-2 it powers up and looks great but the only problem is none of the inputs seem to work. I hooked it up to my laptop with vga and the computer recognizes it as a monitor but the projector says no input. Also says no input when hooking up DVD to composite input? Anyone know of a fix for this? Thanks in advance.

How do you know it looks great if you can't get anything to show on it? All you know is that the lamp lights up right?
Can you bring up the menu of the projector?
If not then it's not just the inputs.
If you can then at least you know some of the projector works. They won't have any replacement boards for a 14 year old projector (if they ever did have any.)
It is not a DIY repair. Hope you acquired it for free.
