Symptoms I see dots on the screen.
I hear a noise.

Causes and Solutions
· There is a coloured dot (bright dots, dark dots, stationary dots, and/or flickering dots) on the screen. — This projector was produced with high precision technology. However, a tiny dark or bright dot may appear on the screen. This is a common occurrence due to the production process, and it does not indicate a functional failure.
Bright spot: brightly lit dots, Dark spot: invisible or blurred point of text or objects, Blinking: flashing dots, Bright dot: glowing dots that are brighter than regular images
· Electrical noise: this is a small sound generated from the operation of the high-speed switching circuit that supplies current to the projector, and the noise may vary depending on the product. This noise is normal and does not affect the projector’s functions. LG Electronics manages the manufacturing of projectors according to strict standards. A fixed level of noise does not indicate a problem. Please understand that this does not allow you to get an exchange or refund.
· Fan sound: to maintain the temperature inside the projector at an appropriate level, the fan sound may increase or decrease depending on the ambient temperature.
