Can you select video in the menu? This isn't a common problem. What video input are you using? What are you feeding it with?

OK, there's a small PC board under the green lens under the front cover. That's teh video input switching board. I need a picture of it, I might have one. As long as the menus are OK, that's most likely the problem. I don't think it's the input board on the projector. those rarely fail.

Hmm, send me a pix. The layout of the 895 is different from the more popular 851, so I could be a bit off on the board location. It could be the Bose interface board, I can't remember, it's been a few years since I've had one on the bench..
