But my remote for the volume had somehow unpaired itself from the stereo. I finally got it repaired but then the projector wouldn't display. I fiddled around with the wires and then got the screen of doom that indicates the mother board is shot (I know this because it's happened twice with the projector before).
In the past I had been able to get the mother board replaced for free. But my projector is 10 years and 5 months old so I knew that wasn't going to work again. So on Saturday I braced myself for a horrible experience, and, armed with consumer reports reviews of home movie projectors, headed to best buy.
I got there at the perfect time because hardly anyone was in the store. A sales guy immediately helped me. Though they didn't have the projector in their inventory he found one at a store in Centennial that was only 10 minutes away. I paid for the projector at a POS kiosk so I didn't have to wait in line. The pick up at the other store only took 2 minutes.
I was shocked how uncrowded the stores were. I guess most people shop online these days. And I managed to get my new projector set up and running in 10 minutes (most of which time was spent untangling wires).
I did discover I was missing a cable but was able to get the missing cable today. So, movie tonight!
