Ok, hoping someone on here has experience with the Eiki LC-XB31. I have limited experience working on projectors, though I certainly have electronics repair experience. The lens is dipping below where it should sit relative to the housing and more so when you touch the focus or zoom. I pulled off the top cover and the black plastic piece A in the picture is firmly attached. It appears that the black plastic piece B should be firmly attached to piece A. The Screw C (and the other 3) go into piece B. The metal piece D spins and controls either zoom or focus (I assume it's moving lenses inside the lens assembly) and screw C (and like) serve as end stops for D.
The piece B is moving relative to A which is what's causing the lens assembly to bounce and sag. It's tough to focus but livable for now. However I'm concerned that the stress of that flexing is damaging something. Is anyone here familiar enough with these to know what the issue is there/ how to fix it? Or if it matters beyond being a pain to focus?
Oh, and this is a cheap used projector we picked up so not worth sending it to a professional repair place.
Thanks!
