    Epson TW 6100 hd projector gone faulty

    Thanks again, I was also advised to check the filter for dust by a couple of repair shops I phoned, but it is mint there not a spec of dust inside the filter or housing, they also said could be lamp. If I sent for a lamp at around £100 and it did not cure the fault it would be £100 wasted. I...
