Power supply, fuse, ballast and motherboard repair at your door or our workshop.
We repair projectors that won't turn on at your address in Hyderabad — internal fuse replacement, power-supply board swap, lamp-ballast work and motherboard chip-level repair. Pricing from ₹1,500 (fuse or capacitor) to ₹12,000 (motherboard chip-level).

A projector that refuses to power on — no fan, no LED, no startup chime — has lost mains-side power somewhere in the chain. The four common culprits: blown internal fuse, failed power supply board, lamp ballast burnout shorting the rail, or motherboard short. Each has a different fix and different cost.
For a projector that won't turn on, the giveaway clues are the standby LED colour, any click sound when you press power, and any burnt smell from the chassis. Send those details and the model code to +91 7702503336 — most no-power faults are fuse, ballast or PSU and resolve in one visit. Board-level work goes to our Secunderabad workshop with free pickup and delivery.
Common Symptoms We See
Walk through any of these patterns and you're in the right place.
No LED, no fan, no sound
Plugged in, power button pressed, nothing — completely silent, no front-panel LED. Usually fuse or PSU.
LED on but no fan or lamp
Standby LED on, but pressing power does nothing. Power supply working, but main board or ballast failing.
Click then nothing
Hear a click from inside, brief LED flash, then dead again — ballast attempting ignition and failing.
Burnt smell from chassis
Sharp burnt-electronics smell from the vents or lamp door — capacitor or rectifier failure on the PSU. Stop using and unplug.
After power surge
Worked fine yesterday, dead today after a Hyderabad power cut — surge has taken out the input fuse or rectifier diodes.
After lamp pop
Lamp shattered audibly mid-session, projector now refuses to start — lamp explosion damaged the ballast or shorted the lamp door interlock.
How We Fix It
Four steps from WhatsApp message to working projector.
WhatsApp + symptom video
Short video showing what happens (or doesn't) when you press power, plus the model code. We can usually narrow the fault to fuse / PSU / ballast / board before we arrive.
On-site multimeter check
Engineer arrives with multimeter, replacement fuses, common capacitors and small SMD parts. 40% of dead-projector cases are a blown fuse or popped capacitor we can fix in-place in 30 minutes.
Workshop transfer if needed
If the fault is on the lamp ballast or motherboard, we collect the projector for workshop repair. PSU and ballast swaps usually return in 2-4 working days; motherboard chip-level work in 5-10 working days.
Bench test before delivery
Every workshop repair runs a 60-minute bench burn-in before we deliver back. We confirm cold-start works repeatedly, lamp ignites consistently, and fan ramps are normal.
Transparent Pricing
Quoted on WhatsApp before we visit. Final on the invoice.
Fuse / capacitor swap
Internal fuse replacement, popped electrolytic capacitor swap, mains-side surge component reset. Most post-power-cut dead projectors.
Power supply board repair
PSU board chip-level repair (rectifier, transformer drive, regulator) or full board replacement. For projectors with PSU short or burned components.
Ballast or motherboard repair
Lamp ballast replacement (₹4,000-₹8,000) or motherboard chip-level repair / swap (₹6,000-₹12,000). For projectors with dead boards, ballast burnout or motherboard shorts.
₹149 visit charge waived when you proceed with the repair. UPI / GPay / PhonePe / Paytm / cash accepted.
Why Projector Repair World
Two decades of projector specialisation, since 2007.
Component-level repair
We don't just swap boards. Our techs do component-level chip work — tracing the fault to a single capacitor, MOSFET or diode and replacing only that. Saves you the cost of a full board.
On-site or workshop
Fuse / capacitor work happens at your address. PSU, ballast and motherboard work goes to our Secunderabad workshop. We collect and deliver.
Surge protection advice
Hyderabad's power supply is rough on projector PSUs. We recommend (and supply) surge protectors at cost after the fix — prevention is cheaper than the next ballast swap.
₹149 diagnosis, transparent quote
We diagnose first, quote exact part and labour, and only then start work. ₹149 visit waived on proceed.
Same-day to 10 working days
Fuse / capacitor: same day on-site. PSU / ballast: 2-4 working days workshop. Motherboard chip-level: 5-10 working days workshop.
30-day warranty on every repair
All power-supply and motherboard repairs come with 30-day return-visit warranty. If the same fault returns we re-diagnose and re-fix at no charge.
Frequently Asked Questions
The questions we hear most often, answered without filler.
An internal fuse blown by an overnight power surge — very common in Hyderabad. The fix is usually ₹1,500-₹2,500 fitted (fuse + replacement capacitor + surge component reset). About 40% of 'dead overnight' projectors are exactly this. We carry common projector fuses in our toolkit.
Listen during the start-up. PSU failure: completely silent, no LED. Ballast failure: standby LED comes on, fan starts, you hear a click after 5-10 seconds, then nothing. Ballast click means the lamp tried to ignite and the ballast couldn't sustain the arc — ballast or lamp replacement needed.
Repairable in 70% of cases. Common motherboard faults are blown SMD capacitors, failed SMD transistors, or burned voltage regulator. Chip-level repair takes 5-10 working days at our Secunderabad workshop and runs ₹6,000-₹12,000 versus ₹15,000+ for a new board (where available). We try repair first, swap only if repair isn't viable.
Depends on the cost. If the fix is a ₹1,500 fuse and the projector is otherwise sound, yes — the alternative is buying a new ₹45,000 unit. If the quote is ₹12,000 motherboard work on a 6-year-old projector with limited remaining lamp life, replacing the unit may make more sense. We'll tell you honestly during diagnosis.
Likely yes. Hyderabad power cuts are usually accompanied by a voltage spike on restoration — the spike is what kills components, not the cut itself. Common damage: blown input fuse (₹1,500-₹2,500), burned rectifier diode (₹3,000-₹4,500), or in worst case ballast burnout (₹4,000-₹8,000). A surge protector after the fix prevents the next round.
Both. Ballast component-level repair (capacitor swap, MOSFET swap, control IC swap) is possible for many models and saves ₹2,000-₹3,000 over a full ballast swap. For models with potted or sealed ballasts, only swap is possible — we'll tell you which during diagnosis.
Our 30-day warranty covers the work we do. If you bought a lamp from us last month and the ballast fails this month, the lamp warranty is unaffected and the ballast is a separate repair. We diagnose to confirm whether the failure is lamp-related (lamp explosion damaging ballast) or independent.
Indefinitely without further damage — it's already off. But humidity inside the chassis (especially in Hyderabad monsoon) can corrode internal contacts over months. Best to either get it repaired or store it in a dry, sealed box with silica packets if you're not using it for 6+ months.
