Hi Dave,

It sounds like a bulb fault. Most new projectors here in the UK come with a 6 month bulb warranty, but I don't know if the same is true for wherever you are based. Either way, I'd definitely talk to the store where you purchased it and see what they are prepared to offer you.

I had a PJ that was just under a year old when the bulb failed. The lamp was obviously out of warranty, but the store did agree to change it for half price as they accepted that it should really have lasted a lot longer than that.

So in a nutshell - talk to the store first. It might cost you nothing more than a phone call.

Regards,
Tony
