If you have a step stool, you can just blow air through it. Easier than taking it down and trying to get it lined up again.

If you have some sort of canned air, you could clean the sensor. There is a lot of very tiny particulates always floating around and it could be they have accumulated. We do this yearly and it helped to stop our issue while working in hotels. I do this yearly at home.

Interesting. We’ve been to a few of these. The best so far was in Amsterdam. It was Salvador Dali projections for about 20 minutes and they used a lot of Pink Floyd for background music. Very appropriate.
