No pressure, eh? But, I can still make progress with the Akai MIDI desk while waiting. One baby step at a time, right Zen? I was about to email you to ask, "What was that freebie video editing software that you had mentioned that you like?' I'll need that for my project demo. 😎
Hey Herm, the devil's emojies are bad for you and have been removed for the benefit of your soul. Now go say " Hail Marry " 5 times lol. The screws weren't ignored, I just wanted to break the bond between the glass cube and plastic, I figured having the larger part still on would give me a better hold... Nope. However later this week I will be deliberately using the heat gun in a comical and improper way on another projector tear down. The program I use now is Window's Movie Maker, that is part of Windows Live Essentials now, or altogether not easily available/supported due to BS.exe running at Microsoft. I have also tried OpenShot and it seems pretty comprehensive though not as stable as I would like so save much and save often. Glad you have more of your laser project works out, I hope you post up video when you get it all running. I can learn some programming stuff from you perhaps. Let me know if you need anything else!

Hi, very helpful video! How did you remove the three ribbon cables for the colours? I almost broke one of them trying to remove it and can`t figure out how they are held in. Are they clamped? Or do they just pull out? Best regards
That's a tough one. Either the ribbon cable for the DMD is loose or the DMD/it's drive IC has failed. I'd suggest trying to remove, clean and reconnect the DMD cable.
Thanks for showing us your brittle bits and your funky bits awesome vid as usual MrZ!
But wait, there's more!
Of that's what those prisms are, I have a few, but did wonder what they're for exactly, never thought to polarise it before

Best regards
The dark back end of the connector socket connected to the board raises up and released the ribbon cable.
@@Zenodilodon Thank you so much! It worked right away and I can finally start fixing my projector.
What does it mean when I have vertical red lines on my screen?
That's a tough one. Either the ribbon cable for the DMD is loose or the DMD/it's drive IC has failed. I'd suggest trying to remove, clean and reconnect the DMD cable.
My apologies, there is no DMD, it's an LCD projector, Check the ribbon cables but on the 3 LCD ribbon cables. Same deal, different part.
It breaks up like bar of chocolate.
