I’ve seen 5 guides say that the lens adjustment cover just pulls straight out, but even with significant force, it doesn’t budge. Are there two different versions of the HD20 with two different designs for the cover?

I couldn’t get the shroud off until I had the plastic top of the projector mostly off.

The shroud has clips on it that attach to some bolts coming off the lense so yeah, it will take some force to pop the clips.

It literally pops off. It has 3 slips on it but they all undo at the same time you pull it straight out.

I have this projector and the color wheel broke. I replaced it, as well as the lamp, but now it is in black and white with the new parts. Could it be the wrong color wheel? what else could cause it? I have tried 2 different color wheels i bought online and both show black and white.
