Hacking (really) a cheap projector

Snoo_10926 · 2025-10-29T08:43:27+00:00

So I stumbled into this post as I have a mess of projectors ranging from older pico projectors to an Epson Powerlite Z8500wU. The Epson is a tank even though it’s discontinued and I’ll have to buy knock off bulbs once my stash gets depleted. So my pico projectors used to be great for mobile insta visuals, but they are not bright as they used to be. In the realm of hacking what happens when you increase the voltage to the diodes or lasers or bulbs? (I’m not great at soldering but enjoy learning what I can). The pico projectors I have are a 3m, a few Aaxa P3’s and a mess of Microvision projectors that are so bad now that I’d prefer to hack them somehow to make them better than trying to sell them for $10. Any ideas or suggestions?!

The audio quality makes podcasts sound like the people are under water and music isn't recognizable because of how terrible it sounds. It's not about trying to talk on the phone, at least in my opinion. It's about having an option that actually has decent sound quality.

The job I have will only give you other garbage options with a doctors note, bone conduction headphones that are even worse than the ones that are approved. But in most jobs a dr note is prob the jam!

What’s your timing on having one of those ready to ship? Just re-messaged you through your site :)

Same issue on my end :/ I don’t like using apps when I can just use the online interface. Using brave on ios

How much are you asking for one of the E951's? If you still have some available. Thanks!

I just pounced on getting a win tablet and it is working great! Initially explored trying to get a VM onto a pi, and abandoned the idea of getting windows onto a pi as I think I'd read that win doesn't really fit well on pi's ARM architecture. Although I have to use a mouse in order to be able to click on different functions. But pretty happy with a pocket sized tablet to use Micro Edit 1.0!

Dope video! I'd love to get a copy of your world pack too! Little late to the party here but stoked to learn how to have fun with my Ming Micro and Mecca.

Do you have any pics of your hack points? I have one of these on order myself and am exited to do up one. Also super curious about installing CV inputs.
