Projector Brightness Flicker issue

[jamesg5000]

Hello,

I have a Panasonic PTAX100u home theater projector. It has 400 hours of use time on it. Lately I see there is a "flicker" in the brighness. Like it is chaging the brightness setting rapidly every few seconds. Its a small change in brightess but it is distracting.

I have a power conditioner but I tried it on another circuit and it seems the same isssue so I dont think its power.

Anyone have any suggestions before I drag it into a repair shop? Thanks

I had this problem with a PT-AX200U within 2 weeks of owning the projector. I returned to my place of purchase and I exchanged it for an Epson. The flicker seems to be a large problem with the Panasonics.
