White dots problem appeared and rapidly spread to make the screen un watchable. One year warranty and after about 1 yr 8 months of life and about 850 hrs of lamp use the It was a good buy except that 3D needs you toīuy other specialized hardware and cables so that it is just not worth it. To this place, I purchased the Optoma HD66. I currently stay in Fiji and after a lot of research that factored in sites that would ship Merry Christmas and a straight thank you for all the help That seems like a good deal too, but I don't trust the Mitsu to run for 4 years and is that really too much to ask? I'm also tempted to throw the warranty to the wind and get a refurbed Mitsu HC4000 with a 1 year warranty for $700 from projector people. No matter, I would pay $180 for added 4 years including 1 bulb replacement.

I'm tempted by the 1080p Viewsonic PRO8200, its a pretty good value and it has a 3 year warranty, but the feedback I see on trying to cash in on the warranty isn't so positive. They seem to sell the Mitsubishi, Epson, Optoma and even Viewsonic. in any case, to get a PJ that is guaranteed to work for FOUR YEARS for under $1000.

AND they even told me that you can extend the 4 year warranty when it nears its expiration date, but directly from BB.

So that pretty much covers the cost of 4-year warranty, plus I get a pj that'll last me for 4 years. I think my next projector is going to come from Best Buy, for $200 they'll give you a 4-year warranty of their own which INCLUDES the cost of 1 blub replacement.

Replacing the cooling compound seemed pointless. I didn't dare, a million little mirrors are on the other side and I couldn't find any safe way to remove that stuff. The chip came with a layer of cooling compound, which I didn't remove before installing. I also blew out the accumulated dust from the fan, the light wheel and lens (before replacing the chip). This process, if you do it, is certainly worth the money, but.any suggestions what I do when I replace the chip this time? Last time I did my best to not breath on the chip containment area and handled the chip as little as possible. Now, after 4 months, well less than 500 hours I'm ordering another chip and I'm going to try again. This time from the corner of the chip, instead of from random spots. I say 'new' because, its from ebay, who knows - these could be factory seconds. So I breathed a sigh of relief, because disassembly involved a lot of tinkering and I wasn't confident it would even power back up!įor about a month, maybe less, this 'new' chip did the job. The image had lost some 'pop' and luster and it was all back. In fact it worked like new thanks to some added cleaning. Gaining confidence I seeked out the part I needed and found it:

Then, I used this forum and found a nice link to how to disassemble my projector: They increased in number until they took the joy out of viewing. This spring my DLP chip started getting stuck mirrors: lots of permanent black and white spots on the screen.
