Pico Projector Problem

I bought the pico projector for the Expo about a year ago. Worked fine, but unless used in near perfect light and wall conditions, its not a very practical accessory. So for the last 6+ Months i've left it in its black velt sack it came in, and left it in my room. (Never have dropped it yet)
So today, i pulled it out just to play w/ it again... It wont work :/. The phone recognizes it, but the projctor wont turn on. I went into the bathroom so i could fine a very dark place, turned it on again, and it showes a black screen (when the phones on the home screen) w/ a red line at the bottem, And its a VERY dim picture. WTF happoned???
