Mitsubishi "Blinking Green Light"
Does anyone have experience with the Mitsubishi
Big Screen TV "Blinking Green Light" problem. My son's girlfriend has a 52" Mitsubishi TV and it stopped working except for the blinking green light. Thanks, Dick --- Richard D. Adams |

According to the web, this is a common problem on Mitsubishi rear-projection TVs and is referred to as "The Blinking Green Light of Death." There are two processors in the set and the light blinks for about a minute during power on as they attempt to communicate. If the light KEEPS blinking, it means the two processors cannot communicate properly. If your hand fits a soldering iron, and you have access to about $7.00 worth of capacitors, you can fix it yourself. Else be prepared to pay upwards of $750 for the circuit board and installation.

I've been seeing a lot of projection TV's at the curb these days. Too expensive to fix and a mediocre picture at best. |

Failing electrolytic capacitors has become a common occurrence in consumer electronics. A lot of wall warts fail because of this, especially those in 2Wire power supplies. I've had two fail already. There's a guy in ba.internet who cracks them open and replaces the bad caps, but I prefer to just buy a better supply. |
