MAGENTA (or any colored) STRIPE ON THEIR JVC PROJECTOR (RSxx or HDxxx models)
The original thread was started here: http://www.avsforum.com/t/1183978/official-jvc-rs25-hd950-owners-thread/930#post_22824462 , however, I felt it would be easier for everyone to follow easier here.
So anyone with this problem won’t have to wade through dozens of irrelevant post, I'm starting this thread so that people who have, or had, a JVC projector that developed a MAGENTA (or any colored) stripe in the picture can post their information here. Whether the problem was repaired or replaced under the warranty is irrelevant.
It would be a great help to EVERYONE who has one of the affected projectors if they would take a few minutes to post their problem here. If enough people with the problem post, we’ll be able to see how wide spread the problem is and whether or not it’s a design defect or not. Naturally, like with Sony, I don’t expect JVC to admit to anything. However, if, by the information posted here, it begins to appear to be a continuing design defect, then JVC shouldn’t leave people who are out of warranty stuck with a $5,000 to $10,000 paper weight, since the cost of a replacement optical block is nearly as much as some people paid for their whole projector.
TO ANYONE WITH THE PROBLEM............
Please supply the following information below as complete as possible, as well as any other information you feel might be relevant or helpful, this way we can see if a pattern develops.
Thanks!!!
1. Build Date (if available)
2. Date first put into service?
3. Hours on projector (chassis hours) when problem started?
4. Hours on original oem bulb when problem occurred (if still being used), or hours when removed?
5. If bulb was replaced, hours on replacement bulb when problem occurred (and brand, if known)?
6. How projector is operated - Ceiling or Table mount?
7. Average room temperature where projector was operated?
7. Average power cycle (i.e., number of hours operated each time projector was turned on)?
