Auditioning
Hello, I am new here and seeking some advice from you all. I have an older projector, a Sony VPL-HS20, that we’ve had since new and we never really used it too much. Now that our kids are older, they’ve been bugging me about watching movies in the theatre more often. Over the weekend I turned it on and played about 30 minutes of a movie. It worked fine. I turned it off for a few hours, came back to it to turn on a movie and the projector wouldn’t even power up, no standby light either. I’ve tried unplugging it for awhile and that did nothing. This same projector has been a little problematic in the past. It would randomly shut off in the middle of a movie and not power back on for awhile, but this is the first time it hasn’t turned back on at all. I have done a lot of reading online and this has been a common issue with this model of projector.
I am wondering if it is worth fixing a 15 year old projector, which was a good projector at that time, or if I should move on and buy a new one. Money is always a factor in decisions like this, but I also don’t want to waste money repairing a projector that isn’t worth fixing.
Thank you for the help.
