Hi everyone!
First time posting here -- been lurking and learning from you all for years:-)
I've been having a problem with what was determined to be the light engine for my Christie Solaria One + for almost a year now. A subtle discoloration of the image was noticed and over time it became not-so-subtle. Apparently the glue the binds the prisms together in the light engine was going bad. Researched how to change the light engine and determined it didn't seem out of my capability to change, so I ordered a new one. I might have been wrong. After installing the new light engine and firing the projector up, the image was completely hosed. The black background of the test pattern showed as red and the image, in general, was a bit "snowy" like a TV channel tuned to a channel with no station. I turned the projector off, checked the connections of the three ribbon cables and fired it up again to the same effect. Christie said it wasn't impossible that I got a defective light engine. I decided to roll back to the old light engine till I could figure out what was going on with the new one and upon testing it, found that the image liked the same as with the new light engine. So, at this point, I'm assuming it's not a problem with the light engines.
Here's a short clip of what's going on on screen:

Any idea what could be going on?
Thanks, in advance, for any advice.
