Seriously man, have you check the sub brightness and sub contrast yet?

Looking through my manual to find those right now.
Thanks

Page 6-3.... code 94 and code 95.
Adjust for each color.

49 % for all (6) probably a default for a starting point?
Looking into the lenses with Jeff beck as a blu-ray input I can see a nice clear image in blue and green. Red is just lines on a bit of an angle.

The lines on the red could be either G2 is set to high, a bad neckboard or a bad tube. Crank all those subs up and the main brightness and contrast and see if you get a brighter image.

For that red tube, cut off the red and if the lines and raster are still there then turn down the G2 on the red neck board and see if they go away.

1) G2 ?
The PJ was working OK until the battery died so I would expect the problems I'm having are caused by either the battery failure or the repair procedure. I know that's not a definite but it seems right to be suspicious of those things first.
Could either of these have damaged the neck board?
Is it possible that I've overlooked something painfully obvious?

While looking into the lenses I heard a click then the blue came on really bright. The display showed "high beam current"

Various adjustments being off would be consistent with the CPU board. Retrace lines on a tube would not be. If you turn off the red tube with the remote do you still see those line in the red? The black wire from the RGB board to the red neck board, you didn't knock it off while working on the projector and then put it on back wards, did you?

HMMMMM
The trace lines on the red turned out to be there with the red off at the remote. I didn't reconnect anything when I re-installed the board but it's certainly possible I pulled something else off and didn't notice.
Alarm messages always make me nervous so I think I'll leave it off for a while , have a couple of beers, try to worry about something else for a bit (a change is supposed to be as good as a rest).
Just another stupid question: I know these things were intended for video applications but is there a possibility that really loud would be an issue. I'm using PA speakers to achieve "realistic" SPL on concert DVD's. My SPL meter gives up while the sound is really just idling.

What does "high beam current mean?

Maybe your HVPS is giving problems? I dont have any idea how you would check this apart from putting another one in, just a thought.

It sounds as though you bumped the blue neckboard while R & Ring the CPU. Un-plug the PJ. Loosen the neckboard clamp and slide the card on and off the tube a couple of times to clean the pins off. Then try again.
If the projector fires up OK then but still dark, do a 95[code] and then the static button. That will allow you to raise all three tubes brightness at the same time. If that does not work, you will have to follow the instructions in the manual to set the G-2.
I told you to send the board to Curt...

You're right, I should have sent the board to Curt. What changed my mind was there wasn't any information to save but I should have sent it anyway.

The blue neck board doesn't move much, it's clamped to the neck. On start up with no signal in the blue comes on BRIGHT then the error message"Hi Beam Current"

The hi beam current message happens when a tube turns full on, uncontrolled. The shut-down happens to protect the HVPS.

That makes sense. So something has to be turning on the blue tube even with no signal or test pattern. Could that be a symptom of a brain dead CPU board?

Any suggestions what could be causing it?

Most likely a bad CRT card. It could be a bad CRT (rare). If the CRT is bad it damages the CRT card. You need to try a good crt card on the blue tube. If it fixes it, great. If the same thing happens that might indicate a bad tube.
