Has anyone got any projector recommendations/warnings? Need a low cost (!) unit for Smartboard use to be ceiling mounted in a room that doesn't get used all day/week and is naturally reasonably dim. Long lamp life and/or cheap replacement a priority.

Just a quick question .. We currently have between 7-10 dead projector lamps accumulated in our storage rooms. Does anyone know of any companies that will collect these bulbs for recycling? We are in the South Yorkshire area. Any suggestions or advice would be great! Cheers, G.

Hi All, We have recently had a bulb blow in one of our short throw SMART projectors, I have replaced the bulb but no joy. It doesn't power on and there is no error code. Does anyone know of a UK based company that deals with SMART? Thanks in advance.

As title but with approx 175 hours use. I had to scrap the projector it was being used in as it wasn't up to the job anymore and this lamp was a purchase made to try and rectify a brightness fault it had but failed to sort it if that makes sense. I'd like to try and give it to someone with the above projector (or similar compatible model) if possible as I don't like throwing good stuff away. I don't want anything for it (bar postage but I'd imagine that's not much.)

Promethean have traditionally only ever provided LCD projectors with our Interactive Whiteboards (up until the release of the PRM25 DLP Projector earlier in 2009), and there are several ways in which you can extend the life of your projector, most notably outlined in this document on our knowledgebase: http://uk.prometheankb.com/article.asp?article=203769&p=10121 There is a filter warning built into the Promethean driver. This is there to try and help reduce costs, and extend the life of your LCD projector. A lot of schools do stick to a ‘regime’ whereby they will clean the filters on their projectors regularly, but there are also a lot of schools out there who either a) don’t know about the filters at all, or b) don’t realise that without cleaning them, their projector will not perform efficiently or indeed economically! If you are one of the schools that have a regime that is working for you, there is an option within the driver to turn this message off completely, or extend the time period between the message being shown.

If you need any spares for your Promethean products, whether that be a pen for your board, a lamp for your projector or another product, please contact your regional Promethean reseller.

Hi I bought a new bulb for my Sanyo plc-xe40 lcd projector. It turned on ok, and when connected to my laptop I have had the projected image come up fine for a few moments, but within ten minutes the projected image had disappeared and the fan sound seemed to go in and out. I tried turning it on and off with the remote and muting/un-muting the machine. No luck. I pulled the power chord out and plugged back in. I pressed the 'reset' button a few times. The projected image came back for a second then vanished again. Now the projector turns on, and power light is on, but the fan sound goes in and out and no projected image is displayed. I've done some research and it sounds like this means the thermal trip may be bust? Or alternatively maybe i need to 'reset the lamp hours' as the 'replace bulb' light is still on (never went away!) Anyone know how to do either of these things? Or have any idea if i'm right in thinking this is what is wrong? Thanks!!
