So I finally got a new blue diode installed into the "Spider" projector (built by DZ) that I got from Buffo at SELEM last year.
I ran it for a couple of hours last night and then all of a sudden the scanners went all "kablooie".
See examples:
Orientation Test Pattern:
IDLA Test pattern:
Laser Media test pattern:
Color grid test pattern:
I tried switching IDLA cables and FB3s, but the strange patterns continued. Nothing I could change in Beyond fixed it (adjusting scan rate, etc).
As a last resort, I turned off the power to the projector for a few seconds and restarted it. Then bam-- everything returned to normal.
So my question is, was this a one-time anomaly, or a sign of something starting to go bad?
Thanks.
