Thanks Sheridan. I've done some searching and I believe the correct part number is 12JS5552. The following site has a lot of parts lists, in this case for NEC projectors, but I'm sure they have parts for many others as well. [URL=http://aware.awa.com.au/]parts/NEC/PRO/[/URL] Another question - any advice on replacing the fans in one of these units? The fans are pretty cheap and I figure that I might as well do it "while I'm in there". I have about 6000 hours on the box, so I'm sure one will fail as soon as I get the new color wheel in and have the unit re-mounted on the ceiling. :eek: I snooped around a bit once I got the old color wheel out and it doesn't look as simple as I'd hoped it would be - looks like the optics assemly has to come out in order to access the bottom fan screws... BTW, these was a lot of smutz on what was left of the color wheel. Thanks again.

My NEC HT 1000 just died on me, well sort of. I can get it to turn on, but shortly after it will flicker to bright and back to eco mode and so on an so forth then shut off. It started this about a year ago, but we had always been able to revive it by just rebooting it though sometimes it would take a couple of efforts. As of the other day it appears to be toast, since it only comes on for a brief few seconds and defaults into a shutdown mode almost immediately. Any idea what the cause is? What it might take to repair it? Thanks in advance.
