In Reply to: Dust inside lens of Sharp LCD projector problem posted by wicca on September 19, 2001 at 11:41:49:
If you don't notice it on the viewing side of things, I would not worry about it yet. Just start making calls, to AUTHORIZED repair centers, and check the rates. You may find that a 1 or 2 hour repair/estimate fee can get someone else to fix it, if that fee is worth it to you. (?/!)You can also try to get a can of compressed-air in there but I don't recomend it if you are not familiar with the internals of the unit. If you "blow" a wad of dust into the wrong place .... your f*ck*d!
By calling around, you get to check the rates of different repair centers, this may or may-not be a good thing. Remember that EVERYTHING has maintenance cost affiliated with it. Cars ... women ... audio upgrades/mods ...
NO offence intended toward anything or anyone, just the facts ...
Good luck,
FishPS: Check your operators manual, there should be some kind of maintenance instructions for cleaning or bulb replacement or something ...

Thanks for you response. I can see the dust on the outside of the actual lens which is inside a clear glass/plastic cover which preculudes cleaning of the lens. I will try to call Sharp but there is not a service center near Santa Fe, NM where I live and I didn't keep the box. Thanks again for the advice. Joe Fagan
