Very nice set of instructions! Excellent images and identification of items to remove. Thank you!
I am trying to determine if the fan works or not. Should the fan come on when there is no bulb in the projector? I removed the bulb when it burned up and I am not sure whether it was due to a failed fan or simply the bulb.
Amazing! Thank you!!! Took a bit of effort to get the fan but in the end it worked like a charm!! Thank you for saving money!!!!
