Yeah, the "Download" description isn't very helpful. I did a word search, and the only other time the word download is used in the manual is on Page 44 with the Baud Rate of the Advanced Setup Menu. Here it is talking about downloading firmware, so most likely the "Download" description you found is referring to downloading firmware as well. Unfortunately, Page 44 also says "This function is intended for a qualified service technician", and I was unable to find anything on firmware updates for your model.
What happens if you unplug the projector for a while? does it reset? Have you tried to enter the same sequence to see if that will get you out of the download mode? If nothing else and at a last resort have you tried to download new firmware?
This should not be marked as answered. It is not answered and it is not a lamp failure issue. I had it before and held down some buttons and it worked but I cannot for the life of me find where I got that information from. Benq are currently useless. If I manage to find out again I will come back and answer it properly.
Update (12/19/2019)
Ok …
1) Disconnect all cables plugged into the projector and press the ON button for 10 seconds; (All cables unplugged).
2) After step 1, please wait 1 hour before attempting to restart;
3) Connect only the power cable, and check if the initial BenQ Logo image appears.
4) Connect all other cables.
So all cables out and hold down power for 10 seconds. I didn't wait an hour and just plugged power back in straight away. Worked. Then connect all other cables.
You have 100% got this!!!! Just keep on keeping on!
Tried "pressed simultaneous power button and volume up button". Red light went away and unit powered on as expected. Problem gone. Thank you Dominique!
If the red light flashes briefly and the projector doesn’t start , remove and replace the small cover where you can access the bulb. Be sure that the safety switch is pressed.
@whooops61 what is wrong with your projector and what have you tried? Have you checked your firmware? That "Download" status in the BenQ manual is a poorly translated reference to the projector's bootloader state. Either the logic board is stuck waiting for a firmware flash via the service port, or the power management IC has locked up and halted the boot sequence.
