Re: UPDATE!!Laserprojector group buy # 4 Time to send PAYMENTS
Has been a good experience so far and I'm appreciative for being able to tag along with some people with a better idea of what they are looking for than I do.
Thanks Brian-- GBs only work with enough buyers so each of us depends on all the others.. After the holidays I am going to be working with MissLinna and some of her co-workers on doing our own repairs- and trouble shooting.
So the learning is never over.

WELL my friends our money has been transfered.
I want to tahnk all of you for joining our GroupBuy. I hope all will be pleased-- After al the holidays are over both here and in CHina I will bew starting a new thread about doing our own repairs of projectors with LOTS of help from Miss Linna and her co-workers This, to me, is a no-brainer-- so much better, quicker, and is a learning experience that will be very helpful to me and any who follow the thread-- we are lucky to have many members who also can help- Why pay 80$usd EACH way for warranty work? And the time lost waiting for return from China.
SO... we are truly blessed by having Linna to help with this.. a true WIN/WIN/WIN.
Next step in this GB will be the tracking numbers- as its a bad idea to post tehm in the oopen forum each member will get tracking via PM. AND once again we have Linna and LK to thank for the free upgraded DHL Express--- the quickest and safest of all shippers.. Almost crazy fast- often less than 72 hours after you get your own tracking number. AND.. Tis the sedason for lots of deliveries and sadly a time whenmany packages can be stolen if left in a bad place-- I have read about thieves who follow delivery trucks & vans just to see if they can steal. So be wise- IF you are not sure you can be home when the box arrives...PLEASE do call your closest DHL Office with your tracking number ASAP- they can provide you with safe options-- DO NOT be fooled by thinking taht once our box has 'departed HongKong' that it will still be days away as in my experiences with DHL Express you wiull often gewt delivery the next day--so at that time its best to check tracking every morning for the 'On Truck for delivery'
A few more things....
Any time you are there to get a box inperson DO look for any signs that the contents could have gotten damaged. IF you see someting like this It is wise to ask the delivery person to wait a few minutes while you open the box to see what if any damage has been done- it some cases it may be a good idcea to 'refuse delivery' or if you need to file a claim of damage theis delivery person makes the best witness.
I once found a box at my door from the USPS with crunched in corners-- SO while it was a PITA I took the box to the PO and opened it in front of them. There was no damage so that time all was good. Better safe than sorry.
Another good tip once you open the box , hold the item and gently rotate it while carefully listening for the sound of something inside that has become loose. It may be a bad idea to power up the item until you are sure all is OK inside..Read the entire owners guide next- I was very impresses with the job LK did on these.
I suggest you put one of the keys on a key ring and maybe add a string to the other are tie it to the PJ. To make these PJs work you need ...1) plug the cord into tghe PJ firmly then into the wall receptical 2) GENTLY turn the key clockwise (these key are fragile and bend easily) 3) flip the switch once you are sure no person is in front of the PJ. IF you have an ILDA cable attached the projector is already in thatv mode so nothing will come on until you start the PJ using your PC and laser show software.
Learning the mode codes can be a tad tricky The LED window will show you what mode you are in- when blinking to use up or down to scroll thru the modes-- you will see what these do by simp,y watch what the PJ is projecting= BUT until you press 'ENTER" you are only in that mode for a short time, so at some point by default the mode will go back to AUT (auto)
An 'S' will be seen as a'5' thus 5 5 means you are in the 'sound' mode at level 5. 5 9 is the most sensitive 5 1 is the least level.
SLA and bigger numbers refers to DMX & SLA = slave.
L is always LUMIA- and Auo is the other auto mode.
hope this has been helpful Len
