Hi Guys and Gals
I've got an Barco BD801s and a 1040 lite.My 1040 lite was plugged into input 3 than we went to watch a blueray and the projector went all crazy like it was out of sync and fuzzy picture.Lucky I found a vga to 5 bnc cable on Kijiji for 10 bucks and hooked it up to input 5.So my question is.Is it a big problem to fix input 3 or should I just not bother?Thanks BigD

Should be able to just swap in a new card. Maybe Curt can test and/or repair the one you have. Pretty sure the pj will run just fine without the card in.

Port 3 not required. You could just leave it out. Don't leave it in the projector if the card is bad. Port 5 on that projector should give you as good if not better picture than a standard port 3 card??

I don't know which card is the port 3 card even if I wanted to take it out.My projector is mounted on the ceiling.Thanks for the tip.

I've got spare port 3 cards out the wazoo. Email me. Once you get the new card, you'll see which one it is.

Cheers!
