Once again, Jerry, you are posting bull**** that is less than helpful. Why
do you persist in giving generic advice that is often dead wrong when there
are people here who have specific experience with the products.

These sets are almost never serviced by board swapping, except for
expeditious warranty repairs. He likely has a failed convergence output IC
that has the set shutting down because it pulls down one of the supply
lines. Lots of independents service these effectively, but they usually
bother to get the documentation before they try it.

If the OP will post the model number and the description of the problem
again on the Manufacturers, Service and Support forum at Home Theater Shack
http://www.hometheatershack.com, I will be happy to provide specific advice
as a tech who services lots of Mitsubishi products.

It is very possible the power supply has failed, or a component on one
of the circuit boards has failed. This is not something that a non
specialized or authorized shop will be able to service for you, unless
the fault is very simple.

For these types of sets, it is best to call the factory authorised
service. They are generaly serviced by module swapping, and then
performing the poper calibrations where required.

Hello,
First let me apologize for not searching the issue here before I ask. I
can't figure out how to do it. First time here. Sorry.
We have a 42" HD 1080 series Mitsubishi widescreen. Bought it Dec 2002.
Yesterday afternoon I was watching tv for approx 30 minutes and
everything
was fine. I turned the tv off and returned several hours later and went
to
turn it back on. It will not turn on.
The tv has sat in the same exact spot since the delivery guys put it down
almost 4 years now. The only other issue I can think the tv had was
around 4
months ago. There was a period of 2 or 3 days where the picture turned
red
and the image was bent. It would happen out of nowhere. Seemed like
simply
turning the tv off and back on again got it back to normal, and after
those
couple days it never did it again. Not sure if that has anything to do
with
what's going on now.

Thank you so much for any feedback!
