Feel bad for you, light bulb dimming is a known issue for X3, so far there is no real consensus whether the bulb on the X30 is any better or worse, I’m just keeping my fingers crossed for mine.
For lock up I suppose you have already unplug power cord right? Have you tried JVC HK to see if you can JOIN their local warranty?

Mine didnt dim much, but actually it didnt bright at the beginning, haha, but I think it is the unusual shutdown caused the bulb and then the machine failure.
Just get quoted from the dealer and it offered no local warranty for me and replied that everything need special care because it is not a local. Special care means expensive but not guarantee and will take much longer time. If it is really a local or foreign matter, it is ok, I should take the risk of buying a non-local goods. But what really pissed is that the problem is a well known problem of X3 7 9 lamp design fault or prematurely dead (but the worst part is it can lock your projector down even if you buy a new bulb from the local dealer), but JVC dont seems bother about it. What I meant is that if a company knows their projector have some very undesired issue, they should handle it with a unusual routine even if that projector is not currently at the right location, JVC should offer customer a free check to see if it is caused by the known design fault. If yes, they should at least offer me something more reasonable. If not, follow the usual routine. Right?
Now, o, you need to pay a big check. Sorry ..... I would say, no more next time, I am now going to buy the Sony.

I will contact the ebay seller tonight to ask for his assistance. I think the chance of succeed is better at US than Japan. BUT, If it happen again, maybe 100 hours, maybe 700, what to do? besides, even the X3 2D performance is really good, watching 3D with X3 is really a suffering thing to do. It is flickering, ghosting, damning low light intensity without a polarity retaining screen.
If the problem is purely bulb (and so $$), it is fine. But the main problem is the machine LOCK-UP. Even I buy a new official bulb wont help to make it work. Or for those who owned a 行機 X3 or 7 or 9 or 30, if the warranty expired and the machine locked up like mine, they needed to move the machine to the dealer or ask a technician to come to home, that's really will cost a fortune.
