Infocus IN82 projector locks up!?

Question

I have a brand new Infocus IN82 home theater projector. Twice now it has 'locked up' on me.... once during the initial start up after turning off the power, and once while changing dvd's. Here's the thing, once it is locked up, I cannot even turn it off. My only option is to unplug it completely, but then won't come back on at all once plugged back in.

I've attempted leaving it unplugged for a period of time, checking the circuits, etc. When I plug the projector in, the power display blinks once, then goes off and nothing.

Is this at all common, or do I just have a crappy projector?

Thanks

Before even powering up the projector, make sure that it's connected with an actual running DVD player or whatever.  The projector will not power up without first synching with an hot wired inputted device and when it does not find such a hot input, it shuts down.

Good luck!
