Mitsubishi tv problem

c r shelton,
model? and what is the message? Like air blocked it will shut doun in 10 sec.?

i have a wd-65833 , it shut itself off today when i turn it on i hear a strange noice like the fan turning on then of, i get audio but no video, after like 30 seconds i hear the noise again then the tv shuts down and the red light turns on, could this be the lamp that blew out

While the specifics of my problem may not be important, what I have not found posted anywhere is Mits apparent current policy for dealing with the "blue screen" problem.

They seem to recognize they have a component reliability problem and are prepared to work with the set owner on repair costs, even a 4 year old set.

My problem started with the set, after running 1-2 hours (62725-4 years old) suddenly going to a blue screen, the little green light flashing and then total shut down. Turned the set back on and all was well for a month of so. However, the problem happened again on an ever increasing basis. Time for a repairman. Called Mits and told them about the problem and that I knew that it was happening to a lot of people. They told me to get a written diagnosis at my expense from one of their recommended people, fax it to them and they would work with me.

Did that (charge was to be $75). Guy shows up, tries to tell me it is the bulb and he never inspected the chassis. After I insisted, he did inspect the caps on the chassis and found nothing unusual. He then wanted $375 for a bulb, brand x to boot. Gave him his $75 and told him to leave.

Called Mits. They arranged for a second repair company, at their expense. New tech says after checking a number of things, that it is definitely the chassis but not the typical power supply problem. He contacts Mits. They offer to take the chassis for repair, at their expense, including shipping, as long as I pay the tech's labor charge of $234, which includes everything. Mits will warranty the repaired chassis for 1 year.

Chassis is back at the repair shop. Since my problem was intermittent, the tech wants to run the set a few days to make sure the problem is gone.

Stay tuned.

slightly different problem on my ws 55859: no blinking green light from hell but-- the blue CRT is out, so the screen is orange. Is this fairly easy to replace? I found a crt for $75 on line...thanks!

my tv was fine. Mitsubishi hdtv model ws 65513.
now i have a green flashing light. tried unplugging overnight and reset. help??

Hi-
I have a Mitsubishi big screen, projection television model # VS-45605. We have a vertical screen problem. It began with a slow vertical roll and is now faster and last as long as the tv is on. It originally woud stop after about 30 minutes...it goes on for 8+ hours. Is there an adjustment I can do myself?

I need help! I have been trying to get a picture on my tv for an hour and a half. I get sound but no picture, then everything turns off and I have a solid red light. I see where several people have the same problem, but I did not see a solution. I thought I would try this before I call someone to fix it. I have a WD-52628. I bought this tv because I have had great luck in the past with Mitsubishi, but this is the last one I will ever own. Can someone please provide me with some guidance?

I have a WT-42413 it started shutting itself off . I tried to turn back on & it came on with a screen that goes from small to stretch to being convex. It shut off power & worked fine after getting reset for about 3hrs. & then it started doing it again. Any ideas?

I have a wd 57731 that has a code 38 i need to know where to get a temp sensor and exactly where in the engine it is located

WS-48511 Worked fine a week ago. The other day I went to turn it on and got nothing. Unplugged it, waited one minute for timer. Nothing. Error code 12. You can hear transformer get power and when power button is pressed hear something hum for one second. I did a reset, checked all fuses and caps, none blown. Even everything in the DM is fine. Some one please help. Email me any suggestion at sam@chaoticduality.com

I called a repair place, they said $75 just to come out but average repair will be $300-$500. PLEASE HELP

Amanda,

What is the Model Number. Are you able to perform a diagnostic Error Code check. With limited information, your issue may be related to a "Vertical or Horizontal Deflection" fault.

Robbie,
The Lamp Thermal Sensor is located on the Lamp Cartridge Housing.

Green Light flashes for 1 minute then off. I checked all the fuses listed in the diagram inside, and looked over pretty much every capacitor in the tv. Everything in the dm looks beautiful

Still flashing 12.. IC issue? I still get nothing, no sound. like it wants to power on but cant

A: bet method to check continuity.B: what should I check on dm, where to get replacement?

Yesterday when I turned on my 60 inch DLP TV, there was a popping noise. The TV shut itself off and the red lamp light came on. When I turned it on, the screen is blank and there is a static noise in the background. It shuts itself off after about 40 seconds. Is this just the lamp or is something else going on?

I have a WS65613 model and I have noticed the screen is not centered vertically, I would like to adjust it by shifting the image to the left as the image is shifted to the right by about 1 or 2 inches. Its this possible?

This is a second post of the one above. After looking at the picture a bit more, the picture looks like those cartoonish Charles Schwab commercials.

Blinking green light of death. I understand to replace the caps but trying to figure out how to remove the box that contains the board. Any instructions on this would be greatly appreciated. Model Mits WS55511

I have the HOURGLASS problem with a Mitsubishi WS-65869 model, 65" projection. Picture bows in the middle horizontally. In other words, it is compressed in the middle, but fine on the outside edges.

Where would one start on diagnosing this problem? Thanks for any and all help.

i have a Mitsubishi vs 6043. i read all the forums here and yet tv doesn't work. i turned on my tv on day and only got sound no picture. so i unplugged the tv. got a picture for about 4 seconds and then it turned off on its own. any idea what that can be so i can get the parts. and where to get the parts or just buy a new tv. its a 60+ inch

I have a WS-65513 (65" projection TV). The screen has started blinking (alternately between the picture and a black screen)...sometimes with just seconds between each "blink" and other times longer. When it does this, the remote control seems to stop working. Sometimes, if I turn off the set and/or unplug it, it will go away for a while, but it comes back. I haven't seen any error codes that I know of. Also, if I have the menu showing on the screen, it doesn't happen. It happens even on inputs with no signal coming in (ie. I can have a blue screen indicating no signal on that input, and it will still blink black). Any help in fixing this problem is appreciated. I am open to fixing it myself rather than having a repair man come.

John, I am NOT AN Expert, but it sounds like you have a dust bunny the size of a tennis ball clogging up the airflow. WHAT does the manual say....it is online if you have lost your hardcopy!
shut it off, let it cool than later, unplug it if you want to have a go at vacuuming it from the outside only.

RPTVs have several fans. The lamp fan is critical and the lamp will last about 2 minutes without it. The other fan or fans for other circuits will also cause fault when clogged.

Start with the manual, than vacuum if you wish.
I vacuum the exterior venting of my Sony RPTV about 2x/year and also pull the lamp cover door without disturbing the lamp.
Original lamp lasted about 7300 hours. I also keep my house pretty cool which I'm convinced (no proof) helps the set cool. It kicks out a pretty good warm breeze.

Elduce49,

Read my post dated October 10, 2008. I explained how I fixed my 65" Mitsubishi RPTV's hourglass problem. And it is still working today, 18 months later.

Good luck!

I have a Mitsubishi 1080 Medallion model number WS-65819.
I had it connected to my ps3 and was playing music on it with the internal speakers, and it was quite loud, and all of the sudden the sound just cut off. ive checked the SAP and speaker on/off settings, and it isnt on mute. I also checked all of the fuses and theyre fine too, so im stuck with no sound and no idea what to do next. help me out please??

I have a ws65905 My screen randomly goes black audio keeps working. I'll turn the tv off and wait before turning it back on. Sometimes the tv will work minuets other times it goes for a couple of hours. does anyone have suggestions on a fix?

Hello everyone, I have read pages and pages of this website looking for some sort of help, I have found some light on my problem but seemed to have dug myself deeper into this Mitsubishi grave.... I received a WS65807 which had the usual convergence problem, there was some noticeable damage to the front 3.9 ohm resistors (maybe from CRT leakage?) but most everyone i showed it to said they were fine. After replacing the STK ICs with Sanyo parts, I turned it on and Still had the same problem, It sat for a few days then tried it again after my frustration went away and it was would not stay on just green blinking lights, I hear some clickin/firing but i dont know what could be the problem, would replacing all the 3.9 ohm resistors, fuses, and pico fuses solve my problem? I dont think there was significant CRT damage, but im hoping it will work without spending too much money.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
- Nick

Also is there a way to test the ICs? To see if they are still good or if they got fried along with some other component with it pooped out on me.

Our Mitsubishi WS-65613 is experiencing severe image distortion. The picture is "squiggly / wavy ". Multiple bands of horizontal distortion moving up and down the screen vertically, varying in intensity and speed ... almost like looking through water. Hitting the reset and then powering back up will fix the problem for about one or two minutes, but the problem returns and will not go away no matter how long the set remains on.

In the past, the problem was intermittent and would only occur when the TV was first powered on. It would distort for a a moment and then return to normal. At times when it would persist, simply powering down and back on was the remedy.

We first noticed this symptom a year ago immediately following repairs on the TV. We'd previously experienced the "blinking green light of doom" and spent $700 replacing one of the boards. The only tech we had in the area is now retired and we have no other avenues for repair other than having someone drive in from out of town which would be cost prohibitive. ANY help would be much appreciated.

I have a Mitsubishi 60 inch TV. 6months old. Every 5or 6 minutes the screen goes black for a second then comes back on. Sometimes the screen goes green or yellow. Comcast changed everything and said it is the TV. Mitsubishi sent a guy who said the set is OK. Now Mitsubishi will not check it again. What do I do now?

Scott,
Check the IC9C25 (9-volt regulator) part # 270P677030 on the Signal PCB.
thx

Help! I have a Mitsubishi 42 inch TV that is 2 years old. When we power it on there is a vertical rainbow pattern of lines about 8 inches wide just to the left of center. The sound and display around the lines is fine. The lines disappear after the set is on approximately 25 minutes. It works just fine after that. I can leave it on for days to avoid the problem but that doesn't seem like a good solution.

I would greatly appreciate any ideas/assistance.

Thanks,
Diane

Hi everyone, glad I found this thread. My ws-55807 model 55 inch mitsubishi just died.

When i run the diagnostic test, I get the 2-2 message.
I see below someone researched that they needed:
2 new pico fuses, which are ordered and on their way
- 2 new convergence ICs?


I have no idea what pico fuses are, where to order, what part number, or anything. Could someone help me out there?

Also, as this tv is 10 years old, could anyone estimate how much these parts are, and whether I need to hire someone to do the repair? Im trying to determine if the costs are worth it to repair, or if I should just dig her a grave?

I have a Mitsubishi 62"
Model: WS 65807
Everytime I turn it on, within 3 seconds, it shuts off.
Any guidance?

I have a Medallion WS 65413 model Mitsibishi and when I cut the TV on it cuts right back off. The error code I am recieving is 22 which is a short circuit. Any ideas on how I can fix this problem~? Any help would be appreciated~! Thanks

T,

I have a simmilar problem as scott. The coincidence is that I also have the same TV model, WS65613 manufactured on 2004. When I turn on my tv, the image has bars/waves like the ones described by Scott. They are sort of like a sine waves going down and then up. They first start start small and as the time passes they grow bigger and eventually disappear. At first, it was taking about 1 minute for the distortion to go away, now its taking almost an hour to go away. Once they go away the picture is as good as new.

Will this be the same IC9C25 (9-volt regulator) problem as you suggest to look for Scott's problem? Is the signal PCB the one close to the tv hook ups in the back? Where can I order this part from?

Regards,

I have a WS-73903 rptv - got it for free but needed to change the stk ic. But as soon as I've turned it on, I am having a big rectangular box in the middle of not screen (up and down and it's not the CLOSE CAPTION BOX, that is turned to off). It will not go away when I change the channel but it does change ratio when I hit the pip. There is nothing attached to the tv so I am not sure what is needed. The next step I need to do is open it up again and check the fuses etc. I've called Mitsubishi and they are no help at all, sorry, they seem to try to bounce it off different depts because they don't know what to do. I do have some pictures but can attached it.

any input are welcome

chris,
looks like you have a bad main board. Is that tv under 1 year old? If yes call Mits. to get repaired
if not then: Main PCB part # 934C260001
Try to run self diagnosis, maybe it will show you the problem.
Pressing the front panel "INPUT" and "MENU" buttons at the same time, and holding for 5 seconds,
activates the Error Code Mode. Let us know the blink code
thx

how come nobody will answer me!?!?! :/

Hello, I have a Mitsubishi WS-65869. My trouble is ..... when I turn on the TV, it will shut itself back off after less than 5 seconds. I first cut the power to the TV then tried to turn it on. Again less than 5 seconds later, it shut down. I disconnected the power plug from the extension cord it is plugged into (To completely remove its power source). While it was unplugged I pressed and held the power button to try to clear what was wrong that way (Similar to what I'd do with a computer) again less than 5 seconds later it shut down. Does anyone know what may be wrong? Does anyone know how to fix thie issue? Thank you very much, have a nice day.

I'm getting a HDCP support error on my LT-55265 when trying to play back content from my AppleTV gen 1 via an HDMI connection. I know that the issue is not the source since when I plug the AppleTV into a HDMI monitor no error results. Anybody know how to fix this?

My WT-42413 will not turn on at the tv or the green power button and when I use the remote it clicks and the green power light comes on for 2-3 seconds and then off but tv never comes on. can anyone please help? would be very very much appreciated.Thank You.

My mother has 62 inch MGA WD62725 with the green flashing light problem. No other power indication - no resetting. $108 service call resulted in $900 repair estimate with a 90 day warranty on repair. I can help her with repair if someone can advise parts to replace and capacitor PNs.

PLEASE HELP - My mother is in her 70s and doesn't need to be spending a bunch of money over a few dollars worth of parts

Sounds like you need new CRTs. All colors effected the same? Sounds like it's just tired.

Greg, do you have a written estimate? That may detail the work intended.

I had the same problem also and what I ended up doing was opening up the panel and cleaning up the buttons with alcohol and let it dried out. After that it seemed to have cleared up. I was told that the buttons were sticking and that it was either blaring the sound up or just turning itself off. Hopefully this helps.

Greg,
You probably have a capacitor failure issue. Lots of info avail on this fault. Check for BGLOG failures (blinking green light of death). A rather straight forward fix, if this is the problem.

audiovox with lcd tv ,dvd,fm am but the dvd is not working ..someone help out please

Welcome to eCoustics Ali!

This cheap Audiovox TV has a cheap plastic lens laser then usualy it last about 1 years before coming dead, I suggest you to buy a new out build DVD!

Welcome Chuck!

You must replace the color wheel engine module!

Chuck, could you post a PHOTO of this....close up would be nice.

I have trouble believing it's the color wheel, which I'd expect to be a global problem....(effect entire pic?)

Places like Discount Merchant sell all sorts of parts for DLP and other TV repairs.
I'm not sure what kind of reviews they get, but I was treated well. I drove to the will-call warehouse location way down South of me....near the Mexican Border. Ole'

defective pixels (mirrors) on the DLP chip itself makes sense for a problem limited to a few locations on the screen...and where the rest of the picture is OK.

I have a Mitsubishi HD 1080 Series tv. The convergence is messed up on it but only when we're watching cable. If we're watching a DVD or playing a video game the colors are perfect. When we are watching cable though, there colors are messed up and its all green but the Reds and Blues stick out. all the other colors have a green tint to them. Any help with what it might be and how to fix it would be great. Please email me directly with any help!
