please delete this posting. Sorry.

As stated in a previous post, my color wheel in my H31 went ka-blooey. This was diagnosed via the loud crunch sound and subsequent black and white images and semi-violently shaking projector. I found out that a replacement color wheel is only $59. For that little, I was wondering how easy or difficult it is to open my projector and replace the part, assuming that this is indeed the only issue. For the record I have slightly above average tinkering skills. Thanks for any advise.

[QUOTE=BAD|Jun 20, 2009 2:09:21 PM] At 85$ I guess it will make for a good toy projector. Im not trying to burst your bubble, but it does sound to good to be true. At 850 (inflated) lumens, I can see you having problems watching movies w/o a dark room. But if you're after the kicks and giggles of having a 80in screen then I guess this is it... Just Don't expect too much as far as quality goes. But for 85$, not bad i guess... Keep us posted [/QUOTE] Thanks, I hear what you're saying...I just saw another projector with 18,000 lumens: http://www.christiedigital.com/AMEN/Products/roadsterHD18K.htm The H31 was introduced in 2005, so it lags behind the competition for sure. But based on the user experiences I've read, this product is in a different league than a kids projector like the Hasbro Zoombox or the Senario Mega-vu. It's nice to know it comes from a vendor who continues to make well-received devices. Compared to the Pico's 9 (nine) lumens, I'm a little encouraged.
