Chris William Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Lamp works good on projector however you can barely see an image. I turned the focus and framer knobs every which way I can, to no avail. Any suggestions to fix this issue thanks looked through lens on small side and can't see anything i'm looking at. Small side can see upside down image that i'm looking at Here are videos of a film playing. No lights on in room complete darkness, Shooting on a wall. As you can see the video is barely visible https://youtu.be/WWUUKbAoppg https://youtu.be/CFUEyQECKD0 Thanks for help and suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Tyler Purcell Posted February 23, 2021 Premium Member Share Posted February 23, 2021 I had a similar issue, turned out the guy I bought it from, installed the wrong bulb, so it was very dim. Some projectors ALSO have a "pause" diffuser which falls into place when the projector is stopped. Either way, doesn't sound like a horrible issue. Put the videos to "not visible" instead of "private" and we can diagnose further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris William Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 I thought the lens might be the issue. The lens can be removed from projector by pulling the knob. I looked through one side and the image is flipped. When I look through the other side it look like the window privacy films you put on windows.

A good lens if you look from the back forward, should have an upside down image out of focus. If you look from front to back, it'll just have a small image of whatever background you're pointing it at. If you see anything thats "milky" like your picture, that's indicative of fungus, but THAT Much fungus inside a lens is a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris William Posted February 23, 2021 Author Share Posted February 23, 2021 ok thank you. I just got the projector through ebay. So if there is no way to clean it. Then I guess I need to buy another lens for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
