Foolish me thought he'd save a few bucks and picked up an Infocus X1 replacement lamp through eBay for $200.


Bulb is brand new, but it arrived in the box with one of the side screens off. Appears a 1/16" piece of plastic that holds the screen on broke off.


I have already requested an RMA for the lamp, but before I send it back, I figured it couldn't hurt to ask:


Are there any dangers in trying to super glue on the metal shield that holds the screen onto the housing??


Or even better yet, what risks would I face trying to move the bulb itself into the original lamp's housing??


Probably not worth the risks but I know returning it means paying $100 more through another retailer.


Any advice is greatly appreciated.


Thanks,

Good ole Ebay. I don't know if either of those would work.

As long as the old housing is good and the heat glass is secure, move the lamp. Just don't handle the innards. It's easy to do.
