I have had my HS10 for less than two weeks, and I have experienced two fan failures. The first time, right after turning on the unit, the main fan on the right of the lense (looking at the front of the unit) was just kind of twitching instead of spinning. I was able to start the fan by inserting a small screwdriver through the grill and tapping the blades. It ran fine after that. The second time, the fan failed to start and within ten seconds, the projector shut down and the Temp/Fan light on the HS10 started flashing. I restarted the unit, and the fan started just fine.
I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this kind of problem. I have less than 25 hours on this projector. I am debating as to whether to send it back to the vendor or have it repaired under warranty.
