Author Topic: Need help cleaning NEC NC2000C master image discs Kyle Morrow Film Handler Posts: 12 From: Bellingen, NSW, Australia Registered: Jun 2010 posted 01-22-2011 10:19 PM                     Firstly i feel quite out of depth on this forum, I have only been a projectionist coming up to 1 year now, And with my Jedi master (Head Projectionist) off sick with life issues, i have come forth to seek help from you guys/gals Now to the matter at hand: We have on site an NEC NC2000C Digital projector for our 3D shows, I love this big ol' chunk of hardware, and it loves me back... However. Im stuck sourcing information on cleaning the master image disc at the front of the machine, i know it needs to be cleaned currently, and i have a microfibre cloth dedicated to this purpose, But i also know how much money was spent installing this unit, and im extremely paranoid about messing something up. Does anyone have this machine at thier workplace? or something very similiar.. I have tried to gently clean it once, but i can only access 1 section at a time, and the disc cannot be moved by hand(with cloth in hand) as the machine gets cranky, and i feel the motor kick in slightly and move the disc back to its original position. I have literally broken into a cold sweat thinking about doing it again, i think maybe a few of you after you finish laughing at my paranoia and inexperiance with digital 3d, maybe able to help me out Ill be on shift for the next 2 hours, just a matter fo what spare time i have to be at PC. I need advice on cleaning tricks for that master image disc!! Thankyou Thankyou and Thankyou in advance if you can help:) Regards, -Kyle.  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 01-22-2011 10:28 PM                     http://www.film-tech.com/warehouse/wareview.php?id=1972&category=2 Instructions on how to clean it are there.  |  IP: Logged Kyle Morrow Film Handler Posts: 12 From: Bellingen, NSW, Australia Registered: Jun 2010 posted 01-22-2011 10:39 PM                     Excellent, thankyou very much Chris, Much appreciated  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The MI-2000 is a motorized device. It has the potential to start spinning VERY fast without your input...as such you should ALWAYS turn off (disconnect power) to such a device prior to doing any work on it. -Steve  |  IP: Logged Kyle Morrow Film Handler Posts: 12 From: Bellingen, NSW, Australia Registered: Jun 2010 posted 01-23-2011 06:36 PM                     I wont be taking the risk of leaving power turned on in this case, thankyou again.  |  IP: Logged
