Hey guys.. I have to say, I am new to the forum though I've been to projector central quite a bit over the last couple of years. Anyways, I am really in need of desperate help. Our Epson powerlite 835p is no longer anywhere near as bright as it used to be... I have bought a total of TWO new lamps for the projector (thinking the first 1 may have been problematic) but both produced the same results. Also, I noticed when it first starts up, it doesn't seem to power zoom as much as it used to.. Used to when I would turn it on, it would get brighter and brighter and the zoom would be working as the vertical lines would get brighter and it would self-adjust the focus and everything... It still does all that stuff, but not seemingly as it used to... If someone could help me, I would greatly appreciate it.. The church can't afford another projector and, right now where I'm sitting financially, I can't afford to buy another one for the church either, so we have to use this one no matter what. Once again guys, thank you in advance!
