If you can't get it from BenQ, chances are you won't find it. All of these projectors are designed to be disposable, and the color wheel is the first thing that usually fails in these units, rendering it useless.
Your best bet is to find another one on ebay that doesn't have a bad color wheel, and swap parts.

The color wheel is for a DLP projector, which is not a source device.

No, but it's a source for color, so give him a break.

Louis mistakenly hit reply to the forum auto-notification email instead of posting here... he wrote:

Wanman. His use of the word "source" was to mean he can't find a source (parts seller) for the color wheel.
I first thought you were joking with your post but your lack of a smiley face indicates other....

What is the problem with the projector? Shattered color wheel?

I was joking. I wanted to make pun over his understanding of that particular sub-forum vs. the Digital projector forum.
