THe problem will be on the main SMPS or the fuses on the AC input board. THe SMPS fails commonly, and there's lots of mods to do on it to make it more reliable. I can do those mods, the location of the boards is here:

Have you checked to make sure you have AC power to it?

Its very easy to spend lots of money on a projector when you are not sure what the problem is. Listen to Curt. SMPS (Switch Mode Power Supply) on those sets do cause problems usually because of age. You could try and get one cheaply but it will be the same age and probably have the same problems. Curt knows the problems and fixes them so that you can enjoy your projector.

Seriously, if you're not a tech, you should stop NOW. Fuses should be checked with an ohmmeter. Stock Barco fuses are filled with sand, so without a continuity tester, you can't check them visibly for being blown.
