Hi I just ordered a elmo projector off of ebay it is supposed to have 4000 lumens and i thought it would work perfect for my projector well plugged it in and got nothing not even the fan? Was wondering if it is possible to find a cheap power supply for the lights to use in place of whatever is in there like a cpu powersupply? I am new to all of this stuff so if you can think of something please explain thanks

any ideas I tried playing around with the light tester thingy and i think it is the transformer that was broke in the projector? It also has a white rectangular block i think a resistor or something like that and that was just about it other then the switches if i were to buy replacements anyone know what i would be looking for?

SAFETY WARNING!!!!!!

Dangerous mains voltages lurk inside projectors, OHP or not. Please be careful!!!

Mains voltages have the potentional to kill you, or cause serious bodily harm.

Dont do this unless you are trained to do so. It is advisable to seek expert qualified personel for repair.
