Than you for the great guide! I just did this process which was 95% the same on my BenQ W1070! Thanks a bunch! The spots are now gone from the view and the image looks better than ever!

Thanks so much for the video. Followed it step by step and now my projector is like new. I was a bit more aggressive on the cleaning aspect however. I have experience as a camera assistant and had more options to clean the optics. I used a combination of Panchro lens cleaner, Kimtec wipes, q-tips, and canned air to clean the entire interior of the projector. I used a camera sensor cleaning kit to clean the DLP chip. That’s the location of the image altering dust and therefore the most important. If you don’t have that fancy kit, scotch tape on the chip will probably be just fine. Thanks again!

Man I wish I found this video yesterday. I did a tear down. And didn't take off the second metal plate. I struggled to get the lens etc out. Got as far as the color wheel and thought that was the issue. I had white lines down the screen as well as white dust particles or imagies on it. This helps a bit. Thank you.

After replacing the bulb, there were white dots all over the projection. I followed his cleaning technique and put it back together, and it worked great. All the spots were gone. The screen was clear and looked great again.

The very first color television systems had color wheels in the camera and the TV receiver. Imagine how massive and noisy the wheel needed for a 24 inch crt would be. I'm glad our living rooms didn't end up with 5 foot tall boxes with a screen in the corner.

That color wheel is just about the same size as the one used on the last 3 Apollo moon missions. NASA was still using color wheels and vidicon tubes in their cameras when the Space Shuttle launched. CCD sensors couldn't beat the old technology until the late 90's.

@@databits in my case there are lots of white dots and very few - black ones. As I can imagine black ones is dust pieces ant they are our of focus, but those white pixels defect of DLP and they visible with magnifying glass on DLP matrix. And other notice: white pixels sometimes blinks (no all, few of them noticed doing so).

Looking at the dirt that still fell out of the mirror housing, canned air might not be a bad idea. There's probably still gunk in there that may find its way onto a mirror or lens later on. And while you have all the optics out of the machine, might just as well use canned air to clean all the electronics, fan etcetera. Not a criticism! That's just what I'd do.

No, that's a great idea! Just remove the lens from the housing first to avoid blowing dirt back into it. Thanks for your comment!
