Hi everyone I a hoping that maybe you can help me. I have a Mitsubishi Big Screen TV Vs-5006R. It seems that maybe the projector has moved from position as all I get when I turn it on is very wavey lines and no adjusting of the remote seems to make it stop. The kids were playing Dance Dance Revolution and it has done this ever since. Any ideas on how I can fix this. Could really use some help on this one |

I have a Mitsubishi 55" hdtv that I've had for about 6 years or so. The red bulb has gone out and I was wondering if anyone knew if they are hard to replace by myself or if it's a better idea to have it done by a professional? I just didn't want to throw away money for a pro to do it if all it takes is unscrewing the back panel and screwing in the bulb. Also, I was wondering if anyone knows what a replacement bulb would cost? Thanks for any help you can give! |

Have WT46807 (a smaller version of WS 55807, the more popular 55 inch), about 4 years old. Suddenly lost raster (picture), but sound OK. Despite sarcasim from John S. (referencing Paul's thread "TV broken, get it fixed" etc.), upon research in this and other threads, found leaking capacitor in PnP was normally the problem. Lo and behold, found a leaking cap, which leaked over one of the small wire fuses. Read a number of threads about either replacing the caps or bypassing the PnP module, but it referred to other models (mostly VS****). Nothing specific in this model, though the principle is the same since the PnP leakage problem is the same. I have no service manual schematic for this model at present. And the module it has leaked on seems to be a bit more than a stand alone PnP module. I wonder how the whole thing comes out, or whether I could just bypass the PnP altogether from the top of the module without removing and repairing or replacing it. Anyone familiar with the WT46807/WS55807/WS65807 series and this problem, who could give me some practical tips? Apparently, the leaking caps in the PnP is a major Mitsubishi flaw causing loss of picture. (I saw one thread where someone is actually considering a class action lawsuit on this problem.) |

I just bought a WS-55515. It has a built-in HDTV tuner. We hooked it up and got all the local HD channels just fine. All of a sudden, a week later all of the HD channels disappear. I suspect something is wrong with the built-in tuner. I called tech support and he said it could be the tuner and referred me to call for service. I asked IF THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AMONG THIS MODEL. He said 'no'.
Now of course i'm not gonna call service. If a TV needs service after one week of use, I don't want it. I'm thinking of returning it and buying a different brand. Anyone got any suggestions? After reading this thread, I'm never going with mitsubishi again. I don't care if I have to pay more for a better brand. As long as it will last for a while, I'll take it. |

Mitsubullshit,
ANY product can need service after 1 week. There are going to be defective units /parts.
Read this post and maybe you'll feel better. At least you have a TV that IS working (minus the HD channels)http://forum.ecoustics.com/cgi-bin/bbs/show.pl?tpc=2&post=474384#POST474384
It took me 8 or 9 months to get a "working" tv.
Your problem is one reason I'd rather have an external tuner.
I've had 3 HD tuner's, the first dying after a few days which is weird because it was a display model (Most electronics dies in the first 30 days, if it survives the first 30 days it will have a normal service life, barring cold solders)
The second tuner which was brand-new dying in a day or so.
The third tuner continues to work.. Third times a charm I guess :-)
The most cost effective thing would be to have the set repaired, of course you probally "want" a "new" set I would think.
The problem with a new set will be by returning the TV that drives up costs to the mfg, which in turn causes them to raise prices.
If they CAN swap out the tuner, I'd try that first if you are happy with the set otherwise.
All brands are prone to "problems". Mit has been in the business for a while so I would think they do make good products overall.
They are selling MILLIONS of these sets so of course you are going to "run accross" threads in which people are having problems. The more they sell the more chances for problems to appear.
I feel for you, but I would give them a chance to repair it before saying you'll never buy another one of their products.
Read the above thread... It took me 8-9 months and about 100+ hours of my time or more to finally get a working TV.
BTW: I'm not a big fan of electronics that has everything "built-in".... One component dies and the whole thing has to go in for service.

Mitsubullshit,
One more thought... in alot of towns the HD stations will use the same transmitter... "Maybe" they are having "problems" on their end. |

I'm having the same green light click as others and found that site in my searching. From reading here is sounds like a coolant leak. Will call a service tech.

Hi, I am lookinig for some info. I have a Mitsubishi Big Screen TV (in a wooded case). I don't know the exact model or year. We actually found it a couple of years ago. It has a great picture. Someitmes we can get certain channels and sometimes those same channels are not available to view. However the channels that we do get all of the time are excellent. What may be the problem? |

I'm sure that some of us have electronics training before we'd dream of attempting repair, so why not give it a try? Why is it always "Pay the man?"
The reason for the failure is that it's planned. If the item lasts too long, no return customers. Why is it that the parts are not available? I see this strategy in new homes, too. After only a few years, the place is falling down. As of this date, the Maytag repairman is only on the hook for a year. No wonder he's fishing.
Anyways, YES. Be pissed. Their engineers timed your bad luck. They could build a tv to last 10 years and be infinitely serviceable. Buy another brand. |

Have a 2-1/2 year old Mitsubishi WS-55511 that just went out on me. Looks like it has the same problem posted on this website. It won't even turn on so I'm guessing its the power supply board. I also had problems with the blue lamp converging. Has anyone gone after Mistubishi for a solution? I'm probably out at leat $600 for this repair! |

Thank you HiramA and Dish Network! My 1996 Mitsubishi big screen projection TV has been to the repair shop twice in the last 2 months with the symptoms you describe and is still not working properly. I just called the service shop and read the info you provided about the PiP module to the tech who has been doing the repair work. Hopefully he'll be able to fix the problem for me now. Thank you again for the very useful information! |

My WS65807, when watching in the 4:3 ratio, has grey vertical bars on the left and right side that used to gradually change in size. The movement was inperceivable and I assumed this movement of the image was to prevent burn in. Unfortunately I did not notice when the movement stopped working. Now I have a pink cast the size of a 4:3 ratio picture. When watching in 16:9 or HD, I can see the very slight pink field in the background. I assume something quit working and that resulted in the burned in color cast. If I can get the movement working again I am hoping the color cast will not get worse.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any suggestions will be appreciated. |

Without wasting a bunch of time... The boards in the these (and ALL mass produced sets) are soldered by a process called wave soldering...
It does a ok job IF all the components to be soldered are of the same "size".... a smaller component needing LESS heat, a bigger one needing MORE heat to be properly soldered.
What happens is the large components don't get enough heat.. and then a bad solder pops up...
The fix, to re-solder.... works most of the time unless there is some type of backfeed that burns something out due to the bad solder.
Sounds like something in the HV power section...
Is it worth it to repair?
NO, more than likely if you have to PAY someone...
Maybe if you have some "time" and can find the bad solder yourself and redo it.
Hope the info had been of help to you. |

RE: we bought a tv and love it but the kids were playing with the remote and set the password and v-chip on
1: list the model number
2: Info on reseting the V-chip should be in the owners manual
3: Most of time the manual can be downloaded for free from the mfg's website.
I have no idea if this is correct for your model TV, but have you tried unplugging the set overnight for example?
PS: Post back the "fix". |

I have a Mitsubishi Video Scan System VS-403R. We bought it used and it worked fine for a couple of months. Now the sound works but there is no picture. We had a tech out and he said there are no parts for it, he did not look at for more than a minute or two. Before I trash it I want to know if there is anything I can do. If anyone knows anything please help. I also need to know the age of the TV.

You could get a second opinion, but it'll most likely be a waste of time and money. Mitsubishi always put stickers on the back indicating date of manufacture, so unless it has fallen off, it's on the back somewhere.
Parts availability is questionable on this TV.

My VS-45609 has failed for the second time. First time, leaking coolant from the projection tubes damaged large signal board. Mits replaced board free (set was one month past warranty) but I still paid the techie. Now, four years after purchase, the same problem. Board not available any more. Was offered great price on 55" set delivered (we are in the USVI where everything costs more) and will take it. Mits followed through and called w/progress reports. I have 50 yrs experience in electronics (heavy stuff) and wouldn't think of going into the board. TVs no longer are made up of simple components but use specialized IC's and parts. The "turn-off" mode is a protection function to avoid burning a spot in the tube phosphors. Down here, we replace PC's and TV's every three years due to salt. Every mfr has problems. |

Good information on Mitsubishi repairs here: http://wa6ati.com/Mga-tip.html.
This stuff is pretty scary and foreign to most of us, but the reason we come to these boards is to share info so that we can do our own repairs (or save money in some other way). I respect TV repair professionals, but find that an average person with good info, patience, and the right tools can accomplish almost anything. |

Anyone interested in or know of a Mitsubishi parts exchange? It sounds like a lot of folks here are going to ditch their sets and buy new, but since we have different problems, we could be sharing/selling parts.
The first step would be to begin properly identifying problems and connecting part numbers to model numbers. |

Need help changing video format to full screen when using new CABLE/HD/DVR (Motorola BMC9012) with a 3yr. old Mitsu WS-55859. Adelphia says that only a few HD channels use a full screen video input. I have to switch back to ANT-A to watch almost all cable channels so that the side bars don't burn into screen. If my HDTV is to old, is there any software upgrade? Obviously, I am not an AV tech guy, but would appreciate the help.

Doesn't your TV have some sort of stretch mode on your other input?
ALL HD broadcasts use full screen and should not seed any sort of stretch mode, but 4:3 standard def broadcasts do. |

I have a #46 Inch HDTV Misubishi Diamond something or other. I got it in 2000. It has mad low hours - and just last night- poof- I turn it on and fuzzy, colored snow on every input from my HDTV tuner to rabbit ears. The MENU graphics etc work but are kind of fuzzy, as are the TV INFO # and letters etc. I got it at Sound Advice brand new 5 years ago, of course warranty ended 3 months ago....Any suggestions ? I tried resetting everything - DVD plays the same colored snow crap but the pictures change based on input. In other words everything else works.

can anyone help me out here? i recently got a mitsubishi CS-3803 from my girlfriend's parents, that they were going to throw out, because the sound doesn't work. i'm wondering if it is something that i can fix myself, have serviced, or if i should just throw it out. i have no idea how old it is, i have no manual and no remote for it. however, the picture is fine, all channels come in clear, there is just "zero" sound. if i unplug the cable from it, i can hear some slight static from the snow on the screen, otherwise, nothing. i figuered that if it was blown speakers, i would hear crackling. if anyone has any ideas or suggestions, i'd be greatly appreciative. i realize that the television isn't anything amazing, but it is a nice upgrade from my old junk, and i'd like to get it to work at an affordable price.
thank you. |

Mits WT46807 (46" version of WS55807 rear projection). Sound OK. No raster or picture. No OSD. Error code self-diagnostic microprocessor doesn't work either. No filaments to picture tubes (light box). Horiz. output transistor tested OK.
Seems like a HV failure. Failure of power to the self-diagnostic microprocessor might provide some additional clues of where power failure is. Because you have to disconnect chassis from CRT light box (and other items in cabinet) to take out chassis and reach parts underneath the boards, one cannot power up TV to trace power voltages.
Repair would be $500+ for labor. A new Philips or Toshiba 51 in. was recently going for $800. So only worth it for self-repair.
And a catastrophic HV failure is usually the easiest to find (if only I could power it on). Parts are not expensive if a whole board doesn't need repair, which is unlikely when a stressed HV power supply part fails, and even the horz. output transistor (the most expensive transistor) is only $14.
Anyone else had this problem with this or similar models? |
