Hello internet,
I just purchased a used Panasonic DW6300 projector on Ebay. It came with the stock lens (DLE-170) and mostly works great, but has a focus issue. It won't focus sharp at the wide end of the zoom range. Anyone on here have experience doing projector repairs? Any ideas? Lens is clean. Lens carriage assembly has a little bit of slop, but definitely not any more than any other projector I've setup before. If I cup my hands over the lens like a donut, then the image gets sharper....
Definitely not above opening it up and poking around, but I'm not sure what to look for. I imagine if there was some sort of alignment issue in the lens train, my issue would be much greater than just this and I wouldn't be getting a sharp image ever, but maybe not?
Thanks in advance.
