I have a 2001 Mitsubishi vs-45607. The problem is the picture is
dark,

research on
it, and what I've found is that the 9V regulator is most likely
bad.
unfortunately I don't know what it looks like. I know I could
replace it if
I knew what it looked like so I could get the position of the board
to order
the part. Anyone have a picture of where it is on the board or what
it
should look like? Or any description in general. I can send a
picture if
needed. Don't fret, I got this TV for free and I am confident I can
fix it
if I can
decide which part it is. I have the schematic and such for it. I
was mainly
hoping someone could send
and example picture of what it looks like or give a description.Or
just
confirm my opinion that i think it's a black chip with a heatsink.
I do
understand the dangers of
the high voltage that lingers in the tubes. I have the board
removed from
the TV. I know the difference from a resistor and a capacitor, but
I'm
unsure what I'm looking for as far as the regulator. any help would
be
greatly apreciated.

I bet you're wrong. While voltage regulators sometimes fail, it's not
typical. My guess would be electrolytic capacitors drying out and
causing the ESR to go up.
