Sony VPL-AW15 Bravia LCD Projector Fan Repair

I was gifted a broken Sony VPL-AW15 with a fan error. The error ended up being the main blower fan on the bottom. While easy to diagnose, accessing proved more in depth than I first expected. I also go over testing the fans anyway for good reason as you will see.

I lost the last few minutes of footage. I kept thinking about re-shooting it but it was just the projector showing some fireplace footage and me talking. The actual teardown and repair are fully covered.

The picture was surprisingly good for the age of the projector. None of the yellowing I expected. This unit was either incredibly well taken care of or has low hours.

One thing I noticed is the amount of features that look a lot like a Sanyo of similar vintage. No real reason, but I found it interesting.

Here is the lamp if you need one. https://www.purelandsupply.com/sony-projector-lamp_vpl-aw15.html
