So, recently, I bought an EMP-1715 off of ebay (about $170). I'm just a kid, so it was within my price range.
Got it home, turned it on. Worked great for a few minutes, then I bumped it just a smidge. The bulb turned off, the power indicator went red steady, and the bulb light started flashing. From what I can tell, the bulb isn't broken, it's seated fine in the connectors, and the filter and bulb covers are both properly installed. I also think that the bulb is an original; it has "Epson" on it, and has the correct part number.
This happens constantly, sometimes with movement, sometimes without. it makes it nearly unusable.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Edit: forgot to note that, when ceiling mounted, the same thing happens. Even without movement, it happens. However, while ceiling mounted, the picture often doesn't even come on past the "Epson" splash screen.
