2300MP No Startup Screen

More than 50% of the time when I turn on my 2300MP, it only shows a blank (white or orange) screen with no dell logo. The the projector was not responding to any button (can't shutdown with the power botton), and I had to unplug the power to shut it down. Is it defective or any solution for this? Thanks.

    I have exactly the same problem with my 4 day old 2300 mp.  I've had orange, green and off white screens with none of the keys responding.  I tried to run the self diagnostic by pressing the "+" and "-" buttons but nothing works. 
     
    Only solution is to unplug.  I put a fan on cold up to the intake to keep the bulb cool :smileyvery-happy: while I unplugged.
     
    Very hard to follow the "Powering off procedures" when none of the buttons work.
     
    I'm guessing the colour wheel is knackered and I suppose the only solution will be to return it.
