Frances,

Welcome to the Forum! Are you trying to fix your projector or sell it? I ask this because you posted in the For Sale/Trade section.

Frances...I had a QX80 and several other similar B&H Lumina Series models. The main problem with these machines is that the belts go bad as they age. That wouldn't be so difficult to fix except replacing belts on these models is nearly impossible. I ended taking apart a whole machine and never figured out how to easily get the belts on and off. You could buy a belt material kit http://www.urbanskifilm.com/projectors.html that has rubber belt material you can cut to length and seal the ends together to make your own belt.
