hi there,
I have just done the exact same thing today. Press menu button on projector. Scroll (navigate) to the mirror option. This give you the options to mirror image left to right or up and down.
This should fix any of your problems.
Cheers

Hi there

In your Menu options there is a subfolder where it either reads lamp or lamp timer.

Scroll down to it and hold down you right or left arrow key on the Projector for a couple of seconds.

Yes, this unit is made for either or solution. If you look at the under side, you will see three screw holes, these are for your mount kit which you can get form http://www.mountsandmore.com/Projector-Ceiling-Mounts-C13810.html?refid=G6435.%22projector+ceiling+mount%22&gclid=CIyfl7G_2pgCFQEoGgodXmajdw

Hello...I used to fix projectors for several years...the problem you describe sounds suspiciously like a dead cooling fan--or more to the point, a fan might not be putting out a signal pulse telling the main board that it's running. (most of the fans in the unit will have 3 leads--red for positive, black for negative(ground), and a yellow one for sending out signal pulses) When you turn on the projector, it goes through a quick self test (you aren't aware of this) and if everything comes up roses, the lamp kicks in and you have a display. In case of any kind of error, the internal instructions tell the main board to immediately shut down, preventing damage.
Also, there might be a ballast problem( the circuit that provides power to the lamp) If you have a known-good lamp, put it in...if the same thing happens, most likely its the ballast that's blown out. The ballast fires a jolt of electricity like a spark plug to initially start the lamp burning. Then, it auto switches to a very low voltage with a *lot* of current(sort of like a welder's arc). After so much usage, the ballast gets weakened and eventually fails. Hope I helped...Rick
