Filter? What filter?

Yes, Virginia. There is a filter in your projector. If it stays clogged your projector will eventually overheat. It's a good idea to clean this filter every once in awhile. It is small, flat, black and located right beneath the lens. (See picture below.) Just pull it straight out toward you. You can clean it by blowing it with air, tapping it against a waste basket, or by rinsing it with water. If you rinse it, be sure it is completely dry before putting it back.

Lights Out! My projector won't turn on.

How can you tell if your bulb is near the end of it's life? Your projector will gradually become dimmer and the red "Lamp" light will be lit, just below the power button. When the bulb finally gives out, your power light and the red Lamp light will be lit, but the projector will not illuminate. Contact me for a new bulb and I'll install it for you.

Please remember to turn off your projector whenever it is not in use. Replacement bulbs cost $155 each. They should last nearly 2 school years.
