Is this my bulb or my Projector? Picture attached (1 Viewer)

[codygp]

Hello everyone,

I have had this projector for about 9 months now. It is a Benq MP622C DLP. I have not had any trouble with it yet. Lamp hours are currently at 2900, Manual says it should go up to 4000 on eco mode which is what i run it in.

If you look at the picture you can see on the left hand side that there is a black bar coming into the screen with a slight curve to it. I have no idea what this is and was just wondering if anyone else knows or has had this happen before.

Is the projector busted and needs repair or has my bulb kicked the bucket early on me?

I just noticed this problem yesterday.

Thank you.

P.S. I dont think i can post the picture yet so here is a link to it on photobucket.

looks like something has come loose in the light tunnel (or in the lens). You will need to call for service,

Good luck,
