A few weeks ago, I tried to turn off my Z1 (by using the soft-off button on the top of the machine), but found that it was totally unresponsive.
In the end I shut off the machine by cutting the power and turned it on again right away to keep the fans running. After the 30 second warm up, the lamp seemed fine and with lots of power, but after about 30 seconds more it dimmed to almost nothing. I say almost, because if I keep my hand in front of the lens, I can see the picture displayed on my hand. But the light is so dim it does not reach the screen.
Turned it off using soft button. Waited a day. Turned it on, but the same. At first (now just a second or so) the light is fine, but is then dimmed almost completely.
I have about 400 hours on the lamp and never experienced any problems before.
Is this simply a lamp that needs replacement or is something else wrong? Anyone seen this behaviour before?
Best regards,
