How many hours on this projector?
IT's probably out of it's 3 year warranty anyway.
Time to upgrade! For inexpensive options...the Viewsonic pro8100 or perhaps the Epson 8100.

The projector is around 4000 hours. The projector is on its second bulb, which will need to be replaced soon. I had been hoping that it was something on the polarizers that might be able to be cleaned, so my parents could avoid the expense of the new projector. Although since the bulb is due to be replaced, I agree it would be better to upgrade then spend a tidy sum to fix it.
The upgrade route, if needed, would actually probable be an Epson 720. You can get one with an extra bulb for a few hundred less than the pro8100 or epson 8100 (or 6100 for that matter). Not that the pro8100 or epson 8100 aren't nice machines, but since my parents only have standard def sources, the 1080 isn't much of a priority.
