A user reports that their projector suddenly stopped working during a presentation. They heard a faint 'pop' sound before the image on the screen went out, but the projector's status lights remain on. What is the MOST likely cause of the projector failure?
When a projector stops displaying an image accompanied by a 'pop' sound and the status lights are still on, it usually indicates a bulb has burned out. Unlike other issues that can cause a projector's image to disappear, such as input signal problems or cable failures, the 'pop' sound specifically suggests a bulb burst or failure. The status lights being on indicate that the projector is receiving power and that the issue is not power-related.
