Actually, cancel that request, I found out how to do it from the  
control panel, to no effect.

> Hi All,

> I was having a look at the old projector, pondering whether it would  
> be possible to substitute ultra bright LED's for the lamp. That's  
> when I found the following note in the manual, and I was wondering  
> if anyone can confirm the lamp ACTUALLY blew up:
>
> Interval of the lamp replacement:
> The interval of the lamp replacement about 1,500 hours of
> consecutive use. Replacement span may differ according to
> operating environment, and may be shorter than 1,500 hours.
> Decreases in luminescence and/or color brightness will indi-
> cate that the light source lamp needs to be replaced. When
> lamp operation time exceeds 1,000 hours*, the indicator
> will flash alternately between green and red (while the lamp
> is in operation; when the lamp is not in operation, the indi-
> cator will appear red only). When the lamp has been used
> for about 1,400 hours*, the message ?LAMP!!.? will appear
> on the screen for one minute everytime the power is turned
> on. When the lamp has been used for about 1,500 hours*,
> the projector will automatically shut off for safety and the
> power indicator light will be red. The projector cannot be
> used until the lamp has been replaced and operation timer
> has been reset.

> Incidentally, this is exactly what is happening. My next question  
> would be, does anyone object to me pulling it apart and resetting  
> the operation timer or investigating the use of LED's.
