DIY Video Projector Part II

bitbyter

the size of the thing is about the same size of a vcr but twice the hight, the sizes are 32cm deep by 39cm wide by 14cm high its about the smallest u could make for a 6inch lcd screen, the thing is very compact, trust me or just ask my hands lol it couldnt be anymore compact.

ok this is a shot of the back with the input sockets and the power, main power switch and the fuse holder, the main power switch just isolates the power from when u plug it in as all powers on when u plug it in, once the unit is plugged in and on u can turn it on and off as manny times as u want via the remote as it has a standby system. If u care to look to the front right u might be able to see the 2 relays i made for all to power on and off via the remote wich are tapped into the lcd controler board via 2 wire's

The bulb is a regular 400 watt MH400U. I just took a bunch of pics that I will post in the morning. The cable was a .5 mm pitch with 10 conductors. I used an exacto knife to split the lines and very carefully soldered some flexible 7 inch wires onto it. I soldered another 4 inch piece of ribbon cable that I purchased that would plug directly into the socket that the original one cam out of. It took about 2 hours. Check my site tomorrow. Thanks for the interest. I took some cool pics of my PC on the wall too.
