Hi. During the pandemic I took up the hobby of sourcing Amazon returned items from an outfit that bought them by the pallet.
I would cherry pick pricey items that I thought I could fix, and had fun repairing a good deal of the items to resell.
Went back to work in the office 4 years ago and am still left with a bunch of projects that I abandoned.
Among my stash are two VSX-LX305s.
I had three of them and sold one as near-new years ago. I thought I could at least get one working out of the remaining two.
I vaguely remember replacing a bad transistor in one of them... I swapped a bunch of boards between the two but had no luck getting either of them to show any signs of life. They sat in a pile all this time until this week.
No blown fuses and I have the 12V from the switching power supply.
I had abandoned all plans on working on these, but lately I realized my old Denon receiver doesn't support HDR or Atmos which I never knew I needed until recently.
Among the other stuff I repaired were projectors. I had two of them leftover that weren't quite sellable but worked.
A few months ago I decided to finally install the 100" motorized screen I had bought on Craigslist and got hooked. Can't go back to my 65" Sony.
Well to cut to the chase, the cheap Optoma projector I was enjoying developed some issues and I recently splurged on a JVC DLA-NP5 (scratch and dent for super cheap) with only 9 hours on the lamp.
So if anyone has read this far through all of my rambling (sorry), is there any way to get a Service manual for this model?
I'm willing to invest some time, money and effort to bring at least one of these bad boys back to life but learned a long time ago to get the service manual first.
Thanks.
