Answer
You bring them the laptop with the battery, they verify the warranty information, they determine that the battery needs to be replaced with your laptop, and they replace the warranty.

Multi Media Projector - Lamp?
morrkope
I am interested purchasing a Multi Media Projector but I am concerned if the lamp dies it is defective, how can we as a consumer protect ourselves?
The suppliers tell me that the lamp warranty is for 90 days or 500 hours.
Please advise.
Thank you

Lamps on many consumer purchases (e,g, cars, trailers) are rarely covered by the equipment warranty. This is because they can be abused and are considered to be replacable.
That said, a 90 day warranty on a projector lamp is standard. Some sellers also offer an extended lamp warranty for a reasonable amount. You may wish to consider one if you are worried.
Lamps will usually last 2-4000 hrs if treated correctly, but there are some precautions you should be aware of including:
- Dont' touch a lamp with bare fingers during installation (the oil can cause them to burn out)
- Make sure the projector is mounted so that heat can dissipate. This includes cleaning filters as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Make sure you avoid fast on/off cycles. It's important to leave a lamp on for at least several minutes before turning off, and always make sure the lamp cools down using the fan before unplugging the projector. Many projectors automate this process.
- Use an uninteruptible power supply (UPS) to ensure that if there is a power cut the lamp isn't suddenly switched off without a chance to cool. It has been reported that lamp life can be cut by as much as 20% from even one improper power down.
Other than that if a lamp doesn't fail soon after installation (covered by the 90 day warranty) it should be good for years of use at 2-3 hrs/day.
