Just the other day we had a projector from hell. This one is designed to hookup to your computer (laptop, or whatever).
For some reason it wanted to play up (don't they all?). I didn't want to touch it, but it looked as if the power cord was playing up on it, cause it was going on/off.
The others were moving the cord around & you could hear the juice comming from the cord (one reason I didn't want to touch it!). Eventually, it just came on all by itself (Spooky!) - until they decided to move it (back off again), fortunately it started shortly after.
It's been quite funny for myself, cause the overhead projector at school decided to pack it in too, well the globe had blown! Instead of my teacher changing the globe, he nicked another overhead projector from another room (should of wished for that to blow as well - might of happened! ;-) The same guy was having fun with the Video too, the picture was flickerning, it corrected itself when he was going to get another VCR. Poor chap, must be against technology for it to all break down on him! ;-)
