If it is a lamp error try this:
When the lamp exceeds 2100 hoursof service, the projector cannot turn on and the manu is not displayed. Do the following:
For VT670/VT470 Press the help button on the remote control for a minimum of ten seconds.
For VT570/VT47 Press and hold the power and the exit buttons on the remote control simultaneously for a minimum of ten seconds. When the lamp time clock is reset to zero, the lamp indicator goes out. Hope this helps! :]

Thanks. NEC did not have a solution for us, but the solution for us was to replace the bulb. You'd think they would make that a bit more obvious!

Thanks.

Try pressing the HELP button. Don't release and press the power button. The LED lights should blink. Release then try to power on again.

if it runs for a few minutes before shutting down, it could be the lamp. check to see if the seams of the lamp that are closest to the underside of the top cover have foil tape covering the seams, if not then this has been known to cause premature shutdown.
