We had a power surge this morning that flashed the power off. A few minutes after I turned the projector back on, I got an overheating message flash up on the screen! SCARY! I thought the power surge had done something. But the message mentioned about checking a filter. What filter?!? I turned the thing upside down and sure enough there was a filter FULL OF DUST! So be aware, clean your filters regularly! And yes, my projector is now fine Shewwww....

Math Posts: 108 Location: Henry Clay	I didn't know that was there either! Do you know how we are supposed to clean it?

Math Location: Retired FCPS, Current UK and Transy	I took a can of air and blew the dust off (after taking the filter out of the projector). Thanks for the heads up Melissa. Edited by rtallent 11/9/2006 3:11 PM

Math Location: IAKSS	Cleaning the filter also helps to keep the bulbs lasting longer. Helps them from overheating! Great reminder for all. Thanks!
