Ah nuts. Went to watch a movie last night and the Marquee is dead. No response to remote, no amber light on the back, no fans spinning. It's dead, Jim. I checked the power cord and there is indeed 110V going into the projector.

Where do I start looking? Pull the LVPS / HVPS and look for blown fuses, or...? Any guesses what might cause a projector to go dead like this while it's just sitting there plugged in? I suppose power spikes are always a possibility but it seems pretty unlikely in the winter.

Bad LVPS. While there could be a bad fuse in it, usually the fuses in the LVPS blow for a reason. I can repair it or swap you for another LVPS.
