I'm really mad!! (at myself) UPDATE!!!

[Charade]

But it's my own fault. Last night when we got done watching a movie using my projector (which I keep on a little cart) I went to move it back to where we keep it when it's not being used and it fell off!!! If you know anything about these multimedia projectors, you know that the bulb is very expensive to replace. I haven't had a chance to really check it out but at best it needs a new bulb. And those cost around $300!!!

So there goes the money I just made on my first Ebay sale.

***NOT THE BULB***!!!!

The cover that hides the bulb has a safety switch that shuts down the light bulb if it's open. That was the problem!! Whew!!

Thanks.

Yes, they do. But these are the CHEAP bulbs. Some high end projector's bulbs cost 2, 3 or more times that!!

Ouch $300 bucks that hurts!!!

I did that with our camcorder Christmas morning a few years ago. At least I could finally buy a smaller/lighter one!

Hope you can find a bulb cheaper - ebay perhaps

That sucks!

And here I was mad at myself for dropping my dinner on the floor last night. But that was only a $5 salad.

does your work place have one, maybe you could steel it

No, but I have a friend that works at a company that makes projectors like this but it's a different brand. Bulbs not interchangable.

Glad to hear that your bulb (and ebay profits) are still intact
