wintermadness replied to Behappy on BenQ 4K HDR Home Projector TK810 - $1699.98 (RRP $2199.99) Delivered @ Costco Online (Membership Required)
Lamp replacement is an easy DIY job. 15 min work if you're taking it easy. Most manufacturers will supply instructions even.

Did you use their strike plate? I think that may have happened to me a couple of times initially, and installing that fixed it.
