Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1040 Air Filter Replacement

Introduction

If your Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1040 (model V11H772020 or H772A) is overheating or producing loud noises, it could be an issue with a dirty air filter. This guide will demonstrate the steps necessary for replacing your air filter.

The air filter in the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 1040 is about the size of a playing card, and it filters all air incoming to the fan. If this filter is clogged, air flow to the fan will be reduced which can lead to overheating and reduce the lifespan of the projector.

Before beginning, make sure to turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
