I'll probably head over there later today, but thought I'd see if any of you have ideas.

My friend has a Sanyo Z5 projector. He has a dvd player and direct tv, both hooked to the projector using seperate HDMI cables.

He said the other night, all of a sudden he lost the picture. He remembers the space heater kicking on about the same time, and thought he heard thunder. We had some storms recently, so he is not sure if there was a close strike or whatever.

Anyway, I think it has to be something in the projector, as he does not get a picture over either HDMI source, using their own HDMI cables. He DOES get volume though.

He tried component and s-video and that works, just picture over HDMI.

Since he is using seperate HDMI cables for each device, I would think it has to be something in the setup menu within the projector. Or, is it possible that he had some spike from the heater turning on, or lightning that would blow out just the HDMI video signal on the projector?
