Hey fellas.
A buddy of mine sent me this message the other day asking for my help. I gave him my advice, but it seemed a bit weak in my opinion. So I thought I'd come to you fellas and see what you'd say.
====================
It's been a while and everything was going great until a few days ago. My projector started flickering colors. I did some research around the web and have come to the conclusion/assumption that it is more than likely the color wheel sensor. It seems that the Optoma HD70 has a dedicated "hate club" for this very problem. I'm thinking that my EP721 is suffering from the same thing. Of course Best Buy won't open it or send it out for repairs, they will only replace it with an inferior model. I am contemplating opening it up and cleaning the sensor. Have you had this happen with your projector? I haven't checked the price for the out of warranty repairs from Optoma, but a youTube poster has me worried they are just going to over charge me to clean the sensor. His final bill ended up being about $300 after they replaced a couple parts, labor, etc. But he had the same problem again.
You think its a good idea to pop off the top and try to clean it myself?
====================
Whatcha think? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance guys!
Bob
