Marquee 8000 intermittent horizontal squeeze

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
Guys, I have a question/problem. I've had my marquee 8000 in storage since 2002. I recently pulled it out in preparation of building my long awaited home theatre, and besides the internal battery being dead from being unplugged for so long, I'm noticing an intermittent issue where the picture squeezes on itself, then returns to normal. I get no abnormal fault lights.

This issue comes and goes, so I'm wondering if I have a true hardware issue, or am I not setting up the projector properly? Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

Clean all module connections on the HDM using Caig DeOxIt cleaner. www.caig.com.

Probably a good cleaning and reseating of all the boards is what's needed.

Here is a link to parts and boards of the Marquee. Reseating of the Focus board and HDM is just pulling it out and putting in in a few times to clean the contacts, you dont have to remove any connections to do this. Just pull up and put back in a few times. http://www.curtpalme.com/Electrohome...e_Layout1.shtm

Location of FCM and HDM.



on the hdm their is a daughter board that also need to be removed and reconected.

Next on the CLM there are some chips that can be taken out from their
sockets, do one at a time. you will need a IC puller from radio shack to do this.

Location of CLM:

Clean all chips with some contact cleaner or Denatured Alcohol.

I use DeOxit:



Do one chip at a time and remember how it came out so you put it back in the same way.
