Well I heat tested my G11, inadvertently, OUCH!! http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/eek.gif

Prior to going ion vacation, I unplugged all the HT equipment. When I returned I plugged everything back in, or so I thought. I went to watch a movie using my G11 (inside a hush box) and after about 20 minutes it shut off. I had forgotten to plug the hush box fans into the auto switch. I did a bit of running around at the beginning of the movie (MI-2, HD on HBO) so didn’t notice the fans weren’t running. The inlet temperature read 139 degrees at time of shut down. Needless to say it shook me up. I immediately opened up the hushbox and turned all three fans on full. When the inlet temp equaled the room ambient temp (approx. 20 minutes) I turned it back on and all was well. http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/biggrin.gif This was a hell of a way to check at what temp the G11 shuts down at. I was really surprised it was that high. I don’t have a clue on how it may have effected, if at all, the bulb life.

I've done this, too. Luckily the G11's auto shutdown works well!

Knowing I wasn't the only one to do this makes me feel better especially with no apparent ill effects. Thanks for the feedback.

Whenever my fans are not on, the picture becomes greenish. That's my first indication. I think the panels or something starts to flex with all that heat and so the green doesn't lineup..that's just a guess of course.


So far, I haven't had a need for the autoshut http://www.avsforum.com/ubb/wink.gif
