Technology really has made our life more simple and at times and I’m loving all the new home automation. I can press one button on my home theatre room setup and have the Philips Hue lights dim, the projector screen will come down, the outdoor window roller shutters will close and the sound system will turn on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All that I am left to do is to turn on my home theatre PC or DVD\/Blu-ray player. But all this new automation comes at a cost, be it financial\u00a0or it can be too complicated for the average consumer. But what happens when something goes wrong? Who can repair it all?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my favorite purchases is our Yodolla 100-inch automatic motorized projector screen<\/a>. It has given us hundreds of hours of family fun movie nights. It’s simple to operate, easy to set up, and easy to repair when things go wrong. They are 1\/2 the price of the popular Elite screens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/a>\"\"\n\n\n\n

The other day after we had finished watching a Blueray movie I pressed the button on the Logitech remote to retract the projector screen and just walked away. I came running back after I started to hear grinding noises. (This was the first time this had ever happened)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What had happened was that the projector screen had retracted all the way up and drove through the upper limit. The metal bar weight on the bottom of the screen was now jammed internally. The screen would not go down and just made this horrible grinding sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was nothing left to do but remove this large projector screen and dismantle it to work out what had actually happened. Being an electrician has taught me many things and one thing always stands out to me. “Parts rarely fail without something else causing that problem.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taking apart the projector screen was simple enough but was made easier with an extra pair of hands. The projector screen has 4 main parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
