Hi,
I haven't recently been given a projector because it was 'broken' as It wouldn't turn on! When I first opened it up, the first thing I noticed was that the fuse has blown - I replaced the fuse and it turned on! However, when you press the on 'button' it caused my electrics to trip which is very odd! I have done some research into this and have found out it could be due a faulty capacitor. I have also looked into getting a replacement part but unfortunately the projector is discontinued so the part isn't available.
This is the part that seems to keep causing the projector to trip after a process of elimination:
On the back there is a what a believe is a 'metal protector' that is soldered all the way round the circuit board. Do you think this is whats causing the electrics to trip and what would you say is the best way to go about this?
Thanks,
Ryan.
