My InFocus ScreenPlay 4805 DLP projector recently started beaming a faint
bright spot in the upper left quadrant, only noticeable on a very black
screen, whether or not a movie is playing. There has always been a large
faint halo when the lamp is about to shut off but this doesn't seem
related. I've used the projector for about 100 hours.

I see no flaws in the lens glass or mirrors inside, except for scattered
dust. With the projector off, when I shine a flashlight into the front of
the lens I see a metal strip cutting diagonally across the upper left edge
of the hole behind the glass. Nothing is cut off on the screen so I assume
that's normal? I never studied it before. The picture looks as good as ever
except for this brighter area.

Below is an approximation of the relative brightness and shape of the
defect. It sort of looks like a moth or a dumbbell but it's not as uniform
as this image.

Thanks for any clues.
