2300 mp projector

Question

I recently had a bulb to shatter in my dell 2300 mp projector. I have had the projector a couple of years but I use it in my classroom. I don't use it everyday so I didn't think it should be time for a new bulb. When I install a new bulb and checked the bulb had 436 hours on it. Is this normal when the bulb is suppose to last for 2000 hours approximately? I didn't know if dell would stand good for the bulb or not?

Thanks

We have 2200, 2300, and 2400's on our campus. Only a couple have failed that early. Is the projector subject to bumping or rough handling? Some users occasionally yank the power cord to avoid the cool-down cycle, and this will lead to premature failure.

kapsimpson   Welcome to the forums.    There are several things that can cause a bulb to shatter, moisture, oil from someone's fingers causing a hot spot..Etc

D31lus3r  Its a good idea if you have a question not related to the original post to start your own thread. There is a reason for the cool down cycle so I would encourage your users to allow the projector to shut down normally.
