I took my 3300mp in to a shop because Im out of warranty and I kept getting the classic "Lamp Failure" message and my power button wouldnt work after that. After they gave me the bad news that their repair efforts failed I attempted to try this bad boy out one more time. This time though... I turned the projector on UPSIDE DOWN and kept it upside down. Instead of it giving me the "Lamp Failure" msg. it stayed at the "Warming Up" msg. for about 5 minutes or so... it used to mess up waaaay before 6 minutes. I turned it back on the right side and then it immediately switched to the Lamp failure msg. My power button nor any other buttons work so I always end up having to pull the plug out of the wall after this.

 

I figure that if I find some kind of way to troubleshoot getting past the "Warming Up" screen, I may be able to still make use out of my 3300 instead of throwing it away. The repairman said I might need another "main led board" but I think thats because he ran out of methods. Any suggestions?
