Hi all, new to your forums, hope i'd be of welcome here
Ok, so today i've just been given from my friend i've known for alot of years his Optoma HD70 HD ready projector, it has a new lamp and i've been watching stuff around his on it for 2 or 3 years he's had it.
Just about 3 or 4 months ago it's started to make a noise, straight away i thought it was the air fan, soon as it boots up it's this loud constant noise, we did blow most of the dust out off the insides but didn't do the trick.
Now the sound is just about bareable when watching anything in 50hz, 60hz and the noise goes louder and it does a little rattler vibrating noise louder!
Heres the video link showing the problem.

Months before it could still what it could do now without that horrid noise.
He had it in a air fanned room which is dark as he's living back at his sisters in a room, it was based inside a little enclosed shelf that probably didn't do it justice at all even more when the only thing that was open was the window but had towels and the curtain drawn to stop daylight coming through.
Now i'm hoping it's the air fan because it reminds me of the old packard bell i used to have that when it booted up and in use it used to make this racket, like it was the airfan spinning too fast constantly that it was vibrating against the shell.
He did put a book onto of it to see if it would dim the sound and it did.
i've uploaded video footage of it making the noise and with abit more commentry by me. I have to say some weird reason my voice sounds very high on the camera some reason but i don't care lol.
