You just have to love couriers, I have just purchased a GS1200, it arrived this morning. When I plugged it in the fan comes on both arms reels rotate, but the motor is as dead as a Dodo, then I noticed a crack on the back casing. It looks as though it has been thrown around a warehouse or two before kindly delivering it to me, does anyone have any idea as to what the problem might be and could it be repaired, I don't want to return the projector as I didn't pay a lot for it so I would like to try and get it up and running. Does anyone repair these projectors ? (up north) any help would be good help, cheer's, Del.

Mikes suggestion sounds like a good place to start. The other thing it could be is a crack in the circuit board at the rear if this is where the crack is.

I am willing to have a look at it for you but unfortunately I'm down in the south.

Is this the machine that you thought you might have to scrap? And did you ever get it running?
