Why do gear break down when warranty expires. My optoma HD25e stopped working yesterday. When I switch it on it doesn't come on and th blue LED blinks for minutes. After a while the blue led stops blinking followed by blinking of the orange and red LED. I wonder if it's the globe that's gone but I have less than 300 hours on it. While thinking of when to take it in I decided to check when I bought it and found out it was bought on 24th July last year. Tomorrow I must run to the suppliers before dooms day on the 24th
