Projector wierdness

Postby **Pastor Gary** » March 6th, 2008, 10:30 pm

We have a bizarre projector issue --(not the new projector we bought from Billy, but an older one.

When it first comes on with no input source, to bluescreen mode, there's an odd black shape projected... sort of a triangular black blotch that looks, oddly, almost like a piece of tape has been torn off at an angle... hard to explain. When you push "MENU" and an image is projected instead of the bluescreen, the blob is YELLOW instead of black.

I have not been able to determine what it is.

Is it shaped like Mary or Jesus at all?

how old is the bulb in the projector? I've seen old bulbs do some strange things, some of them soon go out, some of them keep on going, but as soon as it's replaced the problem is gone.

Is the projector an inFocus brand? If so there is a defect which causes the foil in the light tube to peel with age

I have 3 like that here at work. You can either open it up and superglue down the paper or buy a "light tube" which is a small glass tube which holds everything in place
