Visual Aid / Media Problems - Part II (The Overhead Projector Bulb Burns Out) Let's continue to look at some classic problems that many speakers face and what can be done to resolve the problems: Continuing on the equipment problem list.... Problem #3 - The overhead projector bulb burns out. This is probably the most common overhead projector problem. Solution: Always have a spare bulb available. Some of the better overhead projectors have a spare bulb built into the projector, and all you have to do is slide the bulb selector lever over for the new bulb. This works if (and only if) the spare bulb works and did not burn out when the last person used the projector. You may actually be using the spare bulb and the last person did not change the bulb. Always check the bulb and spare bulb BEFORE you use the overhead projector. NOTE: Keep in mind that the bulb currently in the projector may still be hot and you could burn yourself if you touch it. Unplug the projector and, using a towel or cloth, remove the old bulb per the instruction manual and replace it with a new one. Should the bulb burn out during your program, I would suggest you call a break and take a few minutes to change the bulb and not have the participants see you fumble with the projector. Take some time, before your program learning how to change the bulb. You will be glad you did. Each projector is unique and the procedure to change the bulb is different for each projector type. REMEMBER: If you do end up changing the bulb, let someone know that you are now using the spare bulb. The next person who uses the projector will appreciate your extra efforts.
