You need to stop working on this. Send the SMPS to Curt and get it fixed right instead of making it worse. You may have set yourself up for extra costs to repair it already. Sorry, Seen this happen too many times.

thats no fun ive been looken for a new hoobby and this is it i sending it out to get it fix would be the right way but im trying to learn and i wont learn if i have some one else do it.
atlease when i took it in to a tv repair i was able to watch and i was shown a few things that would help me in the future.

i dont have to much invested in it so if i make it worse o well

what do you think the lights mean when they blink where its listed processor cycles

I sent you a PM on this forum with a link to the service manual and other info on the 800 but you never read it ?

Check your PMs. Sent it 3 days ago.....

On the top of the menu bar click on private messages.

Negative or positive sync on the input to the projector and what input are you using on the projector ?

Most DVD players output positive sync.

My 808 only accepts negative sync on input 5. Positive and negative on input 3. Never owned an 800 though.....

You need to do some reading ! Do internal setup menus work ?

Looks like you picked up the PM Thumbs Up

It's normal that processor cycles led is blinking when projector is at standby.

Yes, you need to connect source and turn it on before starting projector.
