I have a couple of these units that I have been given to do "a full cleaning on color wheels, lenses and anything that could hurt the brightness." They are used in a church and the complaint is that they are dim. I know they are at least 10 years old, as the last ship date for this model was October 2006 and they were bought new. My gut is that they are just nearing end of life and likely can't be helped. However, I would be the big boss's hero if I could breathe some more life into these. I already had the covers off a couple years ago and carefully blew them out with air and re-seated connectors due to a complaint of non-working inputs and/or fuzzy image.
I'm told that the lamps were just replaced, but that there was no discernible difference, although they did go cheap on the lamps and get the "$60 Chinese lamp" as opposed to the $400 OEM lamp. They did get two new OEM lamps for me to put in. I'm sure that will make a bit of difference, but don't expect it will be the miracle they are looking for even if I can clean these up a bit.
So, is there any cleaning that can be done? If so, any tips on how to go about it? Or is it just time for them to put these large beasts out to pasture? Thanks!
