For cleaning i am using , Spiritus or Ethylalcohol. very good for cleaning electrical units, no damage to plastic parts.
it vaporizes fast and it does not dry the parts out.

The beamer is off for an hour of 13. is that enough to completely drain the quad ?

because of the 34.7Kv and warning for radiation in the metal shield.

what is the minimum waiting time to be able to remove these parts without killing yourself by accident ?


If its been off for 13 hours there should be no risk. Has it been disconnected from main power?? Make sure it was not on standby. I would have the power cord removed from the projector.


Yes , last night i just shut it down via the remote, pushed the standby button and removed the main power supply plug.

i am test running the beamer right now, again just a tv source.

I went on , so that was a good sign. the ticking you hear in the tubes when turning it on.
was a lot softer sound and it was faster than it was before. ( i hope you guys understand what i ment )

the image is good and sharp, (still) but now i am going to run it for 3 hours , or until the hard tick comes back.

I ran ther projector for about 3 hours , no bad noises of hard ticks. a little crackle as you come very close to the beamer . you almost have to put your ear against the lid.

so i am positive. and going to continue setting the beamer up. there has been a lot of tweeking on the H and V dails on board. and also inside the beamer.

is there like a reference picture for how a test pattern should look without setting anyting via the remote controlles
just hardware adjustments.

( is it better to just delete all setting in the beamer and start from scratch ? )

I would remove all blocks and start again.

There shouldn't be any noise other than perhaps the start up HV crackle. After that I would expect no HV related noise.
