Okay now. I have an Infocus 4805, which I bought in August of 2004.
I went to turn it on last night, but the LED blinked twice, no picture.
I looked up the error code this morning, it is:
The lamp counter hours have exceeded lamp life hours. Replace the lamp and reset the lamp hours counter.
To me it sounds like, the lamp is still good, the counter reads that it reached its theoretical maximum life.
My question is do I need to buy a new lamp? Can I just reset the counter and use this lamp until it actually fails.
Is this just a way of Infocus getting me to buy a new bulb when I don't need one or is there a real reason why I can't use the lamp beyond the max lamp counter hours?
