That would be me who ended up with the X3. While the unit didn't have many hours on it, perhaps it being used (heat) and then shipped to me caused the glue to let loose a bit. Soon after being put in service again, the light tunnel partially collapsed, after some searching by Camelot One, he found out the issue, I tore it down and reglued the light tunnel. Unfortunately, in the process, I bumped the color wheel, and it separated. I reglued it, and used it for a bit, but it has a whine in it now, which leads me to suspect it's fixing to go in orbit.
A mutual friend said if we could come up with a part number for the color wheel (not Infocus's) he could get one for me. A good friend wants a low budget projector for games, I have plans to tear it down again, see if I can get a part number and get it going again. If it pans out, I'll post something.
