Projector Wont Turn On After Power Surge

We had a power surge and the projectors are stuck in the open position. I cannot get them to turn back on. I used a paper clip to press inside the reset hole, as indicated in the manual but nothing happens. I cannot feel a switch or push or anything in the reset hole.

It sounds like a fuse may have blown. It would be best to bring it to a local electronics repair shop to have it looked at. You can try and repair it yourself but you would likely need soldering skills.
