A few years ago, I worked on another PT-RW330 for a gym. They had never cleaned it or bothered to do anything aside from run it and that led to its UV source dying. The cost of the replacement source was prohibitive so the projector was not repaired. While trying to find parts, I located this particular PT-RW330 on eBay with a description saying the picture was good. I had even emailed the seller to verify it was not purple. he said it was not. When this unit arrived, the first thing I noticed was the post-it left on the bottom that clearly said," Purple Tint". I ended up getting most of my money back after the guy tried to argue with me until I sent him a picture of the postit and I left this on the shelf to lookat "someday". Where as most "someday" things end up as "never day" things, this one was different. Most of the parts I buy come from Time Electronics in China. They are a great resource for me and they have helped many viewers I have sent their way. I talked to my friend Crystal who works there and I mentioned that I was trying to find a source for this projector to make a video but the costs were just too high to justify it. These sources are $300. That would mean it would cost $300 to fix a $300 projector. Crystal offered to send me the laser source for free! I could not thank her enough. Time Electronics really helped me out and because of them, I can share this repair with you. Give Crystal a shout at Gydz@timeprojectorlamp.com for any parts requests. She also deals in lamps, so if you are not in the USA and need a reliable source for good quality, reasonably priced projector lamps, get in touch with her.

This is an old (14 years) Viewsonic DLP Projector (PJD458) that was donated after the customer experienced shutdowns after a few minutes of use. I found a bad fan and some dust to clean and got it back up and running. I ended up re-donating it to someone who needed a projector and was fine with the resolution for their purposes. If you have any questions about your own projectors, head over the Reddit https://www.reddit.com/r/projectors/ There is a wonderful community of folks who are great about projectors.
