A little glimpse of me.

NOW What??

Great.

Now my home theater projector isn't working.  What is going ON?  Definitely NOT the projector.  Grrrr...  Instead of turning on, it makes clicking noises and then shuts itself down.

It MIGHT need a new bulb, but that will cost me $300 to find out.  It MIGHT have a bulb that is working just fine.  There's no way we've used this projector 2000 hours yet.  Not since last January.

So tomorrow I get to call tech support and try to get it fixed.  Fortunately, there's a 2-year warranty.

Just one more thing...  Ugh.

    Ugh! When it rains it pours, eh? So sorry about all the troubles.

    I talked with tech support and they told me that there's a 60% chance that it's the bulb.

    So I ordered the bulb. Ugh. $340.31 including shipping. And it's just more than half likely to fix the problem. If it doesn't, I'll have to ship the projector off to a service center somewhere to get it fixed.

    But at least it will get fixed and I'll EVENTUALLY need another bulb anyway. But SHEESH.

    It's amazing how much a silly light bulb can cost for one of those things.

    Oh my #&!! 300 smackers for a LIGHT BULB?

    Wow. I feel like I just entered a new dimension.

    Hey! Watch the language! I don't mind if you say $&#@! or *$&@!, but you say #&!! one more time and you'll be SOOOOOO banned! ;)

    I think it's so expensive because they put mercury in it. Yes, it's a mercury vapor lamp. So not only do I have to pay a lot of money for it, I have to figure out how to dispose of the old one. Yippy freaking skippy.
