So I’ve screwed up royally on my gs-1200 xenon. I think I may have blown the transformer but i’m not sure. I was replacing the rear arm gear the one that cracks often with a new metal gear. In the process I pulled out one of the wires on the board mounted on the rear arm motor and when I mounted it back up and finished my job I switched the projector on and the rear motor didn’t work at all when I press forward due to this wire not being hooked up (I didn’t realize this yet until I took the back cover off) it didn’t run. I then pulled the rewind tab and I heard a pop from the transformer. The exciter lamp doesn’t turn on now, the projector will only run slow, and the fan doesn’t spin. Due to it being a the xenon version of the gs-1200 the transformer fuses are mounted different co later to the normal gs-1200 for xenon lighting accommodations. I would greatly appreciate any help or tips from others who have had similar problems. When I took off the back panel afterwards I saw that when I remounted the rear motor a short blue wire from the board mounted on the motor was wedged in between the bracket and the projector housing. I do also realize that I could also be sol and just ruined my favorite projector in my collection. So please send any tips!!
