I have a Barco Data 800 with less than 7000 hours on it and no visible burn. I am driving it with an HTPC at [email protected] The PQ is now where I want it to be. I am easily well inside the phosper. Not even close to the edges. I was installing some plug-ins on my HTPC last night and I heard a "POP" and the CRT tubes shut off. The unit was still on and it didn't go into standby. I then put it in standby and then turned it back on with no further problem. I do not have any kind of monitor shut off enabled through the HTPC so I am assuming the anomaly came from the projector. Is this a warning to a bigger potential problem? What steps can I take to prevent any more expensive damage. Given the specs above I don't believe I am driving this projector too hard. What do you think it could be? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Curt, if your out there, I am ready to listen.
Thanks All,
Dan
