The ballast was pretty easy to bypass after some poking around with a multimeter.

***For those of you that are having trouble bypassing the ballast on ALMOST any projector*** 1 - Find the group of wires that come from the ballast to the main board. 2 - Power the projector on with NO lamp. 3 - Measure the voltages on all the wires connecting to the main board. 4 - Find the wire that is between +5V to +3V 5 - Insert lamp (If you have one) and power on. Measure the voltage of this wire again. The voltage should be around 0V 6 - Connect the spot on the board where that wire connected to a ground on the main board. 7 - Unplug and remove the ballast **Coming Soon** A YouTube video showing the steps of ballast bypass As of now this method does NOT work on Eiki Projectors I am working on a solution. This will bypass the lamps for 90% of projectors. It has worked for me on about 8 different models. All else fails just ground each wire and power on and see if the projector stays on. Remember that the wires coming from the board need to be grounded NOT the wires coming from the ballast.

modding I would prefer to replace the psu with an ATX psu and gain some space for the led heat sink if at all possible. Voltage that are on the psu are : +15 @ 6.5A +15 @1.75A -15 @ 0.8A -5v @ 0.25A Can provide pictures if it would help, so any info would be a great help. daron
