Hi,

If the LAMP light and the Power light are blinking amber, the lamp driver has failed and the projector will automatically shut down.

If the LAMP light is blinking amber and Power light is solid blue, the color wheel has failed and the projector will automatically shut down.

I recommended unplugging the power cord 3 minutes after the projector shuts down and then switch it back on.

You can also refer to the link below to fix the issue:

Please respond for any further assistance. Thanks & Regards
