Yours has a three element vari-focal lens system... is the bottom lens missing maybe?

I mean it's a really BASIC projector... is the "reflecting mirror" loose or out of place?

there's a fresnel lens inside the projector that might be upside down. try flipping it over.

ebay or divine lighting dot com has the cheapest bulbs and best selection

Hi! This is a pretty common problem with overhead projectors. At the top of the arm that's over the unit, there should be a lens unit. The unit needs to be rotated so that one lens points down, and one lens points towards the screen. Once the lens is rotated properly, the lens unit is moved up or down in order to focus. There's usually a knob to turn to move the lens up or down.

you have at least 2 issues with your optical engine. both are due to excessive dust and heat. the fly-eye (diffuser) lens is fried, as is the light filter on one of the lcd panels. unfortunately, you cannot purchase individual parts for the optical engine. you'll have to replace the whole thing.

this is my 3rd brand new apollo 3000 that is not working! What is with this product? Fan works but no light

if you're good at soldering, then yes. could also be that the ballast is shot.
