I'm not ready to blame my problem on the eballast per se. I had a problem like this with my first projector which had a coil ballast. These are tricky mechanisms. Enjoy your projector and don't fret about problems.
I like mine quite a bit. I needs to be actively cooled, though. It gets warm to the touch.
I have about 100+ hours on the PJ and it hasnt given me any trouble. Except for once, when it didnt want to restrike. I just unplugged, waited a minute and plugged it back in. Up she comes!
