taylrr Posted February 14, 2006 Share Posted February 14, 2006 Hi all. Got a Sanyo PLC-XF10B, that has been used in a club for 2 years, light output is very poor, due to smoke, I have had the top cover off it, and was wondering if it took out LCDs to clean them, whether they would drop back into alignment or whether I would have to re-align via engineers menu, or something. I would send it back to a service centre to be done but no budget left until September (Due to stolen Kit).The other Problem is it was hit with a ladder and now has a green row of pixels down the middle, is it possible to get a replacement green LCD? Not so worried about this at the moment.Please let me know what you think.Thanks Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete McCrea Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Realignment of the LCD's is done manually- i.e. with a suitable poking tool and lots of cursing as it's moved 0.01mm too far. Acording to a good friend of mine who works for Sound Foundation and has done the Christie training, it's a several hour job to realign them. As for spare LCD's it might be possible. In terms of spec, it's only a 3K machine. to replace with a Christie LX34 with 3500 Lumens would cost about £3400 before VAT (and That's the list price). It might be that combined with a repair, new LCD panel and new lamp (to lift the brightness as the lamps loose 50% output at about half the rated hours) your not too far off the cost of a new machine. And then you have the new warranty. There are obviously other machines available. Plus do a 3500 Lumen DLP projector that retails at about £1500 before VAT. As you said though your budget limited, so the quickest way to boost brightness might be with a new lamp- what hours has the current unit done? The new units would cost about £352 inc VAT.
