AcuDefTechGuy Audioholic Jedi Jul 10, 2007 34,058 0 113 Dec 10, 2024 #4 First impression is that it's defective. Reactions: j_garcia and Trell
M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Dec 20, 2006 830 0 28 Dec 10, 2024 #5 Yep even w no source connected and I pull up menu I have the lines
M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Dec 20, 2006 830 0 28 Dec 10, 2024 #6 Took it apart I’ll clean it all up. If it still doesn’t work it’s going back.
M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Dec 20, 2006 830 0 28 Dec 12, 2024 #7 Ended up returning it. I’ll have to look for a projector. I have an Epson powerlite from work I’ve been using. It’s work until I buy another. Reactions: BMXTRIX

BMXTRIX Audioholic Warlord Sep 16, 2004 8,803 0 113 Dec 13, 2024 #8 A shame. The HT2050 is a really nice projector. Super reliable as well, so it sucks that it has this issue for sure.

M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Dec 20, 2006 830 0 28 Dec 18, 2024 #10 I’ve been trying to give the projector back to the seller, but he won’t send me his address. I have received a refund. I still have the projector. I wonder if cleaning the DMD processor w some contact spray will help.

M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Dec 20, 2006 830 0 28 Dec 19, 2024 #11 Taking it apart and cleaning the contacts did absolutely nothing. Ended up buying another one. Also seems like this forum is pretty dead.

Also seems like this forum is pretty dead. Click to expand... It is VERY slow in here. Most of the forum talks about audio, so it is other places that have a more lively conversation about projectors for sure. But, it's nice to be able to get some answers or feedback which may be a bit less lost in the weeds as you may find on those other forums. Repairs are a tough one though. FixItFrank hasn't been visiting any groups lately that I've seen and he would be the one who really knows the answers and can truly give some technical know-how. A shame he hasn't been around anywhere lately. I'm sure he has family and personal matters which must come first.

M moreira85 Audioholic Chief Dec 20, 2006 830 0 28 Dec 27, 2024 #13 No worries. I cleaned it all up still no luck. It’s trash and DOA. End up getting another one that was mint condition for less money.
