Hi Guys! Yesterday i got shock of my life when i switched on my set up after nearly a month. I was away for some work. First when i switched on as usual, everything had power and switched on normally. Then PJ showed no signal on HDMI 1. I checked all cables at the back of PJ and AVR and found them connected properly. After that I changed the input of PJ to HDMI 2 (Epson has 2 HDMI inputs). In HDMI 2 also there was no signal. Then I called up the dealer who sold me Marantz AVR. He asked me to connect small media player or something directly to PJ to check if its working or not, using another HDMI cable. I connected my WD media player to PJ directly using another HDMI cable. It worked at HDMI 2 but not HDMI 1 input of PJ which confirmed that PJ HDMI 1 has problems but at least HDMI 2 is working. Then i connected my Yamaha AVR, which was lying idle and not being used, using same HDMI cable to PJ with media player. It worked on HDMI 2 of PJ, not HDMI 1. I got little relief. Then i connected Marantz SR 5007 to PJ using same cable. It did not work. There is power in Marantz. All functions seems to be working.But not transmitting signal to PJ. I called up dealer and he has asked to send it to him in Kolkata.
The final conclusions as follows:
1. When I was away and not at home, there was heavy thunder shower and lightning as a result some my equipment got damaged. I normally remove all plugs from mains whenever they are not being used for long time. This time I forgot and for which i have to pay heavily, it seems.
2. The main HDMI cable (10 mtr) long which was connected from Marantz AVR to PJ got damaged.
3.The AVR HDMI socket is damaged and needs to be changed. The dealer told me that new HDMI board has to be fitted. The AVR is not even 1 yr old.
4. The PJ HDMI 1 input is damged and hence unable to receive signal. Fortunately, the PJ lamp is not damaged and HDMI 2 input is working. I will use HDMI 2 for the time being and later contact Epson service center.
5. My Sony BDP has no power, looks like power supply IC is gone. I don't know if it is repairable.
rest all equipments are okay. Guys if you have had same experience, please share and advise what can be done now.
