Why is the projected image dim on my 3M Projector?
- C
  Christopher ColemanAug 14, 2025
  A dim projected image on your 3M Projector may be due to several reasons. First, the stage glass, lenses, or mirrors might be dirty, so try removing any surface dirt. Second, the condenser lens bracket may be open or the retaining clip might not be engaged; close and secure the lens bracket with the retaining clip. Finally, the high/low lamp control setting might be incorrect; set the control to high for the brightest image.

  If the lamp on your 3M Projector doesn't illuminate but the fan motor runs, there are several possible causes. First, the lamp changer control might not be engaged; fully slide the lamp changer control until it stops. Second, the lamp may not be seated properly; seat the lamp squarely in the socket. Third, the lamp may be burned out; replace the lamp.

  If the projected image is wider at the top than the bottom on your 3M Projector, it means that the screen is not aligned at a 90° angle to the projected light beam. To fix this, tilt the projection screen toward the projector until the image width is equal at the top and bottom.

  If the projected image is higher on one side on your 3M Projector, it indicates that the projector is not aligned at a 90° angle to the screen. Rotate the projector until the image height is equal on both sides to correct this.

  Short lamp life on your 3M Projector may be caused by defective lamps. Document the actual lamp life, then contact the Lamp Supplier or 3M Service Center. It could also be due to high line voltage; have the electrical line checked by an electrician.

  If a new lamp fails immediately after replacing a burned-out lamp in your 3M Projector, it could be due to a defective lamp. Replace the lamp. If the new lamp fails immediately again, you may have an electrical problem. Contact service for assistance.
