Ce dont vous avez besoin

  1. Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Remove the bulb module: étape 1, image 1 de 2 Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Remove the bulb module: étape 1, image 2 de 2
    • Use a flat screwdriver or coin to remove the flap covering the bulb module

    • Loosen these 2 Philips #2 screws. These screws should stay captive within the bulb module.

    • Lift this handle and pull out the bulb module.

    • It is important to avoid dust getting into the optical parts. I vacuumed the bulb area with a soft brush attachment then vacuumed other dusty areas as they were exposed during the disassembly.

    • Do not touch the mirror. The delicate front silvered mirror surface is easily scratched.

  2. Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Remove the lid: étape 2, image 1 de 3 Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Remove the lid: étape 2, image 2 de 3 Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Remove the lid: étape 2, image 3 de 3

    • Remove these 3 black 5mm Philips #2 screws from the rear panel.

  3. Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Remove the lid: étape 3, image 1 de 2 Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Remove the lid: étape 3, image 2 de 2
    • Remove this 7mm Philips #2 screw under the bulb cover.

    • Remove the 7mm Philips #2 screw deep in this hole. A magnetic screwdriver essential for removing and replacing this inaccessible screw.

    • The lid can now be removed by gently prising it off starting at the hole for the bulb.

    • Unplug this cable then put the projector lid to one side.

  4. Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Remove the metal cover: étape 4, image 1 de 1
    • Remove these 11 silver 5mm Philips #2 screws from the metal cover.

    • Unpeel this black card that is stuck to the metal cover.

    • Lift off the metal cover to reveal the main circuit board

  5. Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Unscrew the main circuit board: étape 5, image 1 de 1
    • Remove these 2 silver 8mm Philips #1 screws and their white plastic washers then unplug the ribbon cable. This plug will drop through the hole in the board when you lift off the board.

    • Remove these 6 silver 8mm Philips #2 screws from the main circuit board.

    • Remove these 2 silver 6mm Philips #2 screws that attach the board of plugs at the back of the projector.

  6. Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Release the small circuit board: étape 6, image 1 de 1
    • Projectors built in 2010 have a small extra circuit board here. You can skip this step if you have a newer projector without this extra circuit board.

    • Unplug this wire from the small circuit board. Peel back the two pieces of tape holding down the wire, leaving one end of each piece of tape attached to the board for the later re-assembly

    • Remove the other plug from this small circuit board. The small circuit board is now free to come away with the main circuit board.

    • Unplug these 5 plugs. These plugs are stiff but there are no clips or catches to release. I used a combination of pliers and miniature side cutters to grip the two edges of each plug and work it loose.

    • Remove this plug by pressing down the back of the plug to release the catch

    • Gently remove this thin ribbon cable by pulling back the plastic plug then pulling out the cable. Untape the ribbon cable from the board.

    • Later models have an extra wire here that needs to be unplugged.

    • Remove this larger plug by squeezing the two ends to release the clips. On later models, this plug is underneath the board, so you will need to release it while you are removing the circuit board

    • Hint: With so many small plugs it is easy to leave a plug under the board during re-assembly. Clipping a long wire to each plug makes them more obvious.

    • Hint: Take a picture showing how the small plugs are connected on the main circuit board to help re-assembly because the plug arrangements vary slightly between projectors.

  8. Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Remove the main circuit board: étape 8, image 1 de 2 Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Remove the main circuit board: étape 8, image 2 de 2
    • Remove the main circuit board by lifting the board from the back end where the external plugs are attached.

    • Unplug this mains plug.

    • Disconnect the earth lead by unscrewing this silver 5mm Philips #2 screw with its captive serrated washer.

    • To make a coloured image, the light shines through this spinning colour wheel then onto a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) with 1024*768 small mirrors that move to switch each pixel on or off.

    • Remove these 2 silver 6mm Philips #1 screws to detach the colour wheel.

    • To remove the colour wheel you will need to cut a cable tie and move the wires to the side.

    • Then gently remove the delicate glass colour wheel.

    • Interesting Fact: the light at this point is in a narrow beam that passes through a hole 4mm * 5.3mm.

  10. Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Remove the power supplies: étape 10, image 1 de 2 Smart UF75 DLP Projector Disassembly, Remove the power supplies: étape 10, image 2 de 2

    • It goes through a small lens here.

    • Then it goes through this lens

    • to get reflected off this mirror

    • and through this strange half lens onto the DMD chip at the back.

    • The DMD chip reflects selected pixels forwards to the front lens section.

    • The black box on the side is just another cooling fan.

Thanks so much! Just cracking the shell on this thing was hard enough its nice to have a teardown like this!

Thank you, Shane. It is nice to know the guide is appreciated. I wrote the guide when I was quoted £800 to repair one of our school projectors. Instead of paying I started buying second hand projectors, so I had nothing to lose from cannibalising the broken ones. Writing a guide helped me record the details to ensure I could put them back together!

With practice it gets easier to remove the case. They are quite strong. After removing ALL the screws I just pull hard at the opening for the bulb and I have not yet broken a case. Just remember to also remove the two screws hidden under the bulb cover.

Many thanks for this, this guide is pretty helpful, however I need to replace or repair the mirror on it as whatever makes it reflective as rubbed off, any help is much appreciated.

If anyone has found a way to repair or replace the mirror, I hope they will share the knowledge.

The two mirror mounting lugs appear to be glued to the aluminium beam that forms the backbone of the projector optical system, and I am not sure how to adjust the screws that set the angle of the mirror. When I have a projector with a damaged mirror I strip it down for parts to repair projectors with other faults.
