Well..... I purchased a set of projectors (for $130) from a member here and it turns out I got screwed. The coating is coming peeling and one of the projectors is out of its mounts. Someone please tell me that I do not have to take apart the assembly in order to get it back in the mounts again. Does anyone know if there is anything I can do about the peeling?

 

use plastic auto cleaner...and yes you will probably have to seperate the lense. it's really easy to do.

 

That sucks a member would screw you over like that on here.

 

LOL..... yeah I've heard a few horror stories from people being screwed over. I'm not surprised, just pissed off. Because I now have to try and fix them or sell them and take a big loss because I know no one will pay what I paid for them.

 

you get what you paid for...sorry man, that sucks. Thats why i try to buy most of my parts brand new

 

the clear coat pealing off is very very common on the 3rd gen halos, two gues here who have had them for a while now their are pealing, and also the lens cracked.
3 more fellers just got theirs ad no issues yet...
as for taking them appart its really easy put them in your oven one at at time at a decently low heat but still hot. so like 250-300 degrees and after about 5 mins remove them and try pulling them appart if they dont come apart easy, put them back in for a few more mins and do it again if again still not easy put them back in just keep doing that till you can.
when you put them back together use a clear or black window silicone thats what i used.
good luck as long as ou take your time and dont rush things you will do ok.

 

Do I really have to put them in the oven..... that suck!!

Has anyone around St. John's done this before???

 

yes they have to go in the oven, the mans hair dryer (heatgun) will ruin them

 

Bump..... anyone in and around St. Johns done this before?? Believe me I will screw this up big time!!
