I just moved into a new apartment and I have a problem. Well besides the fact that it's an apartment. I have lines scrolling up my screen. I have a Mitsubishi HC-100U projector on a fairly large screen and it is annoyingly more noticable than on my other t.v.'s.
I had the screen and setup connected at another apartment without this problem. I took the electrical outlets out of the wall to check for grounds and none of the outlets in the apartment are grounded back to the panel, just to the outlet boxes themselves. The wire is old and the ground wires are severed.
I am almost certain that the ground is causing the problem. But living in an apartment, even though I would like to, running new wires doesn't fly with the landlord. My landlord is a sketchball and even though I am willing to upgrade the wiring, she doesn't seem to care that I would be bringing her house up to code.
So here I am with lines up my screen and in search of a creative way of eliminating the problem. So does anyone know of any equipment that I could buy that may cure my cancer or any suggestions that may help? Otherwise I might risk changing one circuit and hoping she doesn't notice.
