hi all,

I have a dell 5100MP. It has been working fine but recently when I turn on the projector, the images is fine for around 20 seconds, then it slowly breaks up and the goes completely white and then fuzzy white/grey vertical thin lines appear. If I turn the projector off and then back on straight away, it goes straight to the grey/white vertical lines.

If I turn the projector off and then try again the next day.  I can see the image again for 20 seconds and then it goes again to the white/grey vertical lines.

Has my lamp gone?  This happens on all sources so its definitely an issue with the projector.

Thanks
