Description
SONY Projector VPL-VW885ES. The previous owner claimed that it only has approx. 1300 hours on it. We plugged it in and it goes from red leds to no power at all. So, we are listing it as NO POWER. BUYER SHOULD ASSUME IT HAS NO POWER, but it could have leds lit, but no guarantee of its status, other than no power. Appears to be low hours just from visual inspection, but no guarantee. No idea whats wrong. Could be the mainboard is bad, or a power supply, or something else altogether. NO GUARANTEE ON THE OPTICS, but, we do know that the optics alone in one of these models can be worth up to $2500, or more,. This model uses the same LCD prism as the VPL-VW995ES, and the VPL-VW1025ES, as well as the VPL-VW915ES. In addition, the VPL-VW5000ES uses the SAME LCD panels. All four of those projectors are TOP OF THE LINE, and Sony only sells a couple models that are better, but Youll spend $75,000. Those are all coming off warranty, and if i invested $40,000 in a projector, I will gladly spend $2500 if the LCD prism goes bad, or if one of the three panels dies. Its usually the Blue that dies first. If the Laser has low hours, that is worth some money too. Then there is the lens, the power supplies, and on and on. The other option is, you could hold onto this and wait for another parts unit that is listed, that has the parts you need to make one Great Projector!! Theres have been lots Buyers that have done that thru ebay. If no one buys this as a parts unit in whole, I will part it out myself. Has 3 tamper stickers on the bottom, (See pics). If ANY or ALL are tampered with, or removed, there is NO RETURN for ANY reason. Once you open it, it cannot be returned for ANY reason.
