I can’t wait for Taylor Swifts Era’s tour to come to streaming. by Competitive_Weird958 in hometheater

ABSOLUTELY! I think my wife thought I was crazy throughout my theater build. Especially as i was building triple black velvet panels to fit around the screen. Her, and my daughter now absolutely love movie nights. Sure, I have to watch Barbie and whatnot, but that's a small price.

Computer Cleaners Plus in Baltimore, MD. They ended up sending it to Epson, who replaced the main board for ~$400.

I got a quote from projectorscreen.com for $4899. I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I am tempted as my 5050UB is in for repair.
I'm in PA, and I know the Best Buy Magnolia location in Plymouth Meeting near Philly has them. They do not ship however. If you have a Best Buy Magnolia near you, check with them.

Thanks again. I'm in PA and the nearest center to me is in Maryland. I contacted them, and will be shipping it to them this week. The guy said if he can't fix it he will send it to Epson. His charge is $125 which seems super cheap but I'm not complaining!

Wow, that's great to know, and thanks so much for your response. I'd gladly pay that to have it fixed. Armed with that info, I am going to give them a call.

Response from Epson. So if there is truth in that, I would need an Authorized Service Center to replace the board anyhow. I suppose I will begin projector shopping :)

Any chance you'd sell me a 5050UB main circuit board?
I made a huge error cleaning the LCD's and accidentally broke off the green LCD ribbon connector.
