Optoma HD131Xe Faulty 1080P Full HD Home Cinema Projector Remote Used HDMI Issue

The projector is in good physical condition with minor scuffs/marks on the case, exactly as pictured but has a fault. It powers on and displays the blue background but the controls do not work. Pressing the buttons on the top to view the menu, change sources etc. changes nothing on the screen, it just stays blue. The only way to get anything to show is to press the power button (which does work) and then it displays what is shown above, where it asks you to press the power key again to turn off. I can't get anything to happen when using the remote either. Plugging a source into the HDMI did not get any image to show. No idea what is causing this problem, or how it can be fixed so I have decided to sell.

Other than this the HD131XE is a great model featuring Full HD 1080P resolution. The picture is bright and clear, at 2,500 Lumens. Lamp life is long and replacement lamps are available on here for around £50 if ever needed. There are a number of connectivity options on the back including 2x HDMI and VGA ports allowing you to connect to multiple devices at once and just switch between. This is easily portable and has adjustable focus and zoom to help you set it up.

This comes complete with the projector, remote control, and power cable, ready for use. Please note that this is a long throw (not short throw) projector so needs to be set back from the screen or wall you are projecting on, not placed right against it.

Due to the clearly described fault above I have significantly discounted this (more than 50%) and will not accept returns.

This will be well packaged and sent with Royal Mail 24 Next Day Delivery, the manufacturer specifications are listed below:
