Projector Modifications

With the new reflector fitted everything was looking great however I soon discovered that all the ports such as HDMI, Audio Out and USB were blocked by the large heatsink keeping the new LED array cool.

I had 3 options :

Unsolder the HDMI connector and extend it.
Move the PCB to outside of the projector housing.Find a smaller heatsink.

I choose to simply move the PCB and so 2 slots were cut into the top housing to allow the flat flex LCD cable and control panel cable through. Along with this I also added perspex standoffs to mount the PCB and give clearance to the components on the bottom.

And in the image below it can be seen mounted in the turret frame with some protective packaging on the flat flex cable.

At some point I shall strip the projector down and clean it out with compressed air and polish all the lenses etc as a lot of debris has entered during the modifications
