Einleitung

The lens on the Hitachi CP-X2010N is an important part of the projector, able to magnify images and display them onto a surface. If the image is distorted in any way, it may be caused by a dirty or faulty lens. It is necessary to replace the lens if it is cracked or otherwise damaged. Caution should be applied when handling the lens front element, as glass is fragile and easily cracked.

Before beginning the repair be sure to turn off the projector and unplug it from the outlet. Also make sure that the projector has cooled off if it has recently been used as it could become warm after prolonged use.
