I'd love to get my hands on a 2D MEMS mirror device like one in that projector. I have a few project ideas in my mind. Any idea where to get them at a reasonable price? I have contacted various MEMS manufacturers for engineering samples, or evaluation kits, but they are charging something like $1000+ just for the MEMS mirror device itself, not counting the dev board. Some don't even want to know you.
Re. screw management I use a couple of different methods. First is plastic ice cube trays with each compartment numbered I draw a very rough sketch of screw positions and number them according to where the screws are in the ice trays. The other method (when I dont have the trays handy) is again a rough sketch of the positions and then I tape each screw to the paper, last time I used this method was when replacing the LCD screen on my Canon DSLR, lots of very small screws.
Wow, I don't think I could get it put back together and have it work afterwards. There seamed to be a little flicker in the image after you put it back together. Even though it could go smaller it's still amazing on how small it is.
What photodiode did you use?

Did anyone mention that this is made in the USA?

I think that little flex connector inside is VGA input.

@formula1977 Like I said, they always use too many screws, all are rarely essential

In the title, shouldn't it be "teardown" rather than "teardoiwn"? Interesting video though.

@DustenAtPlay The flicker is only a video camera artefact.
