Charity Auction: 10% of final sale price will go to the Against Malaria Foundation Optoma H181x Projector (working, but multiple defects that requires maintenance/fixing). I bought this new from Amazon in February 2015. It still works, and I have been using it to watch film and TV up until April 2022, at which point I replaced it with a newer model. Although it still projects an image (and I have been using it to watch TV and films), I am not comfortable selling it as a working projector for the following reasons: (1) The original bulb has been replaced once, and a lamp life expired message is now displaying again. The projector still displays an image, but that bulb will need replacing at some point (wait too long and the bulb will fail/explode). (2) When the lamp life expired message appeared last time, I was able to go a good six or so months before the bulb exploded, which created a bit of a mess inside the projector. It still worked after I replaced the bulb, but there are a few motes of dust somewhere on or around the lens that I was never able to clean. I cant see these motes during bright scenes, but they become obvious during dark scenes. (3) Recently, I have occasionally getting a fan locked message after turning on the projector, which causes the projector to turn off. As far as I can see, the fan seems to be working and I /speculate/ that its a loose connection. Sometimes it will go months at a time without displaying this message, and sometimes it will display the message most times that I turn the projector on (if I turn it on and off again enough, then it worked eventually) (4) Very recently, the image will occasionally flicker and turn off. I do not know what causes this. (5) The projector has been taken apart and put together a few times. The last time I did this, I broke a couple of the screw fastenings. (6) There may be other problems and faults with the device that I am not aware of. Ive been very happy with this model, and might have considered getting a new bulb rather than upgrading if it wasnt for the above faults. However, with these faults, Im not happy selling it for anything more than parts.
