Einleitung

Fans are a mechanical component subject to wear and tear. Mechanical components are often the first to fail. In the event the exhaust fan within the projector begins to emit unpleasant noises, the exhaust fan may need to be replaced.

It is located inside the projector on the same row as the projector lens, all the way to the left, next to the power supply.

Werkzeuge

Schritt 1

Disconnect and cool the device to room temperature. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or minor burns.
Orient the Epson Home Cinema 2150 so that the large indented panel faces your direction.
Unscrew the single 6mm Phillips#2 holding screw from the access panel.
Slide the panel horizontally, then lift up to remove the access panel.

Loosen and remove the two screws holding the lamp.
Remove two 9 mm Phillips #2 screws.

Schritt 3

Using four fingers, pull upwards on the lamp's plastic casing.
You may feel some resistance when pulling the lamp.

We noticed these steps are exactly like the first 3-4 steps of your other guides. We would recommend you to make this a prerequisite guide for those 3-4 steps (mostly unscrewing to open the device up) and then reference them before starting the other replacement guides.
