Location: Henry Clay | There is a filter on the bottom of the projector that is supposed to be cleaned. If you're like me, you had no clue. 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.... |

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