Hi video loonies,I am one of the poor schmoes who bought a
Projectavision (I had a Solo-2).I *loved* the Projectavision - really great
picture (2-chip DLP). Of course, the unit
broke, and the company is out of business,
so I'm SOL.I bought a DreamVision DL500 to replace the
Projectavision. It's a little loud, but
the picture is at least as good if not
better than the Projectavision. I tried a
bunch of LCDs and hated all of them. I
would definitely recommend the DreamVision.Does anyone know any use for an old broken
Projectavision (except as boat anchor)? Is
there anyone actually fixing these things,
or scavenging parts from old units? I
suppose I could always post it on eBay...
...any suggestions appreciated.Damon

I had exactly the same situation when that $10K beast just stopped working. Same story about phone calls to nowhere and thoughts about the boat anchors - or a heavy clay bird.I refused to throught it away, so I opened it up. After some time it became obvious that it was the cheap power supply in that thing that croaked. With little research we were able to find a replacement part for - get ready for it - $8.50. Yep, plus shipping. It had to me modified to the tune of few minutes, but the bottom line is - it fixed everything.
Since then I ordered two more spare power supplies - just in case.
So, if your projector refuses to be turned ON, then chances are you have the same problem. Then call 888-826-5432 and get a couple of PS-150 power supplies. Any good tech should be able to replace the bad one - and you are back in business.
Let me know if you need more hint on how to troubleshoot that problem.
