CAUTION: For a successful upgrade, follow the instructions carefully. Avoid interrupting the firmware upgrade once you've started it from your PC. Disrupting the upgrade process by removing cables or disconnecting the power before the upgrade completes can damage the projector. Projector damage caused by disrupted, incomplete or aborted upgrades is not covered by warranty. All shipping and repair expenses for projector service stemming from incomplete firmware upgrades are at customer expense.

Firmware Revision History

Downloading the proper firmware version

There are four firmware versions for the LP500.  The version you should select depends on the projector's serial number, and the AC electrical system where the projector is used. The serial number is located on the certification label attached to the bottom case. Need help finding your serial number?

The serial number displays the projector's 'build style'. Each build style requires its own firmware version and each firmware version works only with its associated build style.

If the leading digit of the last five numbers is a 0, download firmware build style N below.
If the leading digit of the last five numbers is a 9, download firmware build style P below.

Once you have determined whether your projector requires the N or P style of firmware, you must then select which the version that matches your region's AC power specifications.  If you are unsure about your region's AC power specifications, please see "Electricity Around the World" at Kropla.com: Help For Travelers!

Version Date Notes/Enhancements

  • Implemented the audio "burp" fix that was lost in the previous version

  • Solves issue that occasionally caused lamp not to light
  • Fan speed adjustment to improve internal projector temperature
v2.3/v3.2 N/A
  • Enhanced laptop connectivity

  • Improved lamp life
v2.2/v3.1 N/A
  • Extends compatibility to include broader range of input signal sources.
  • Hides display messages that continued to display despite the & quot;display message& quot; option being disabled in the advanced onscreen menu. Exceptions are power down and change lamp messages which appear regardless of the setting.
v2.1/v3.0 N/A
  • Faster menu response
  • Faster keypad response
v302044191614 N/A
