Lamp/Projector problem

[webcat1]

Can any one help please. I have an infocus 4805 and when projecting there is a brownish line down the right side. Is this a lamp problem. I have taken the lamp out and cleaned as per instructions but this has not helped. Im lost as to what to do.

Thanks

Is it a straight line? Clearly defined edge? If it's more like a blob than a straight line, it's probably dust in the optics somewhere. Can you post a pic? Do you see the line when projecting a solid white or gray image? Black image?

IIRC, the 4805 is DLP, right? If it's LCD, it could be a polarizer panel going bad (sometimes they burn up from the heat).

Click the "post reply" button in the bottom left corner, or "Go Advanced" in the bottom center. Then on the new screen click "manage attachments", and follow the instructions!

It's probably the dreaded 4805 light tunnel failure. You'll either have to cough up repair money or do surgery on the guts of the PJ to remount the mirrors lining the light tunnel, since one of them has come unglued and is blocking the light path:
