Is it the projector or the bulb?

Hello everyone,

My Z1 has developed a fault, the unit is about 6 weeks old. The last 3 dvds I have watched have been spoiled due to an intermittent metallic/tinny buzzing sound. Usually the pj is fine for the first 20 mins or so and then it starts........'meep'.......'meeeeeeeep'........'meeep' etc! It's definately coming from inside the unit...perhaps it's a fan bearing? The sound has a 'resonance' quality about it(as if 2 metal objects were vibrating against each other). Has anyone got any ideas? Obviously I shall return the unit while the bulb is under warranty as it may even be the bulb? I just don't know

Any ideas what this may be? The noise is not very loud but it is distracting and annoying...

TIA
Pete...

 

Cheers Nigel,

I wish I knew what that meant though?

And there was me thinking it was the flux capacitor or the quantum hydro drive.

Edit: Did I say 'hydro'? I meant 'hyper', everyone knows there's no such thing as a quantum hydro drive....

 

Cheers Nigel,

That sounds like a strong possibility....The sound is definately inside the pj, and that's all I know for sure. But the term 'chatter' is definately one word which describes in my mind the randomness of the noise. It's fine for a while then the 'meep.....meeeeep...meeeeeeeeep....meep' chatter starts for a while then stops. Again it's all completely random. I shall give the shop a ring now (been lazing in my pit, post friday night thing).
Thanks for the detailed explanation, you sure know your stuff

EDIT: sods law strikes again......it's closed at the weekend...
