Sony VPL-VW100 whine

Yes, the problem was fixed. The problem was due to poor contact between the lamp and the heat sink. There are two solutions: reapply the thermal paste; buy a new lamp.

Did you ever resolve this issue. I am having the same problem.

The lamp currently has 1564 hours on it. Yes, the hard start mod was installed by Sony Service. The sound started after that, but was not immediately after.

How many hours on the lamp? Do you have the hard start mod installed at Sony service? I've got similar cricket sounds...

By the way, the recommended filter cleaning interval is 1250 hours (not 100), although I clean it more often than that. If the filter was so clogged as to prevent air flow, the system would overheat and automatically shut off.

Actually, the projector is in a clean, isolated environment with it's own air system and filter, and is properly maintained. The only "maintenance" is to clean the filter, which consists of little more than removing a small piece of foam and cleaning the dust off of it. Find another reason, 'cause that's not it.

what it is is people dont take proper care of the mechine they trash it they dont do the proper maintnence on it like cleaning air filter every 100hours/month wich ever occurs first like if 100 hours comes be4 a month dooes
