The lamp could have been

The lamp could have been arching and causing the noise or the ballast is bad. I am surprised that they did not have a spare as a test lamp. I have several I purchased and use as "test lamps" in these projection TV sets. It saves a lot of time and money doing it that way. They are authorized Mitsubishi repair people if Mitsubishi sent them out. And yes, I am an electronic tech, and have been for a very long time, almost 40 years. I have loads and loads of experience. I do however make misdiagnosed mistakes on sets once in a while, as no body is perfect.  But if I remember correctly, I think I told you that you should first replace the lamp, and if that did not work, check out the ballast circuit. We shall see when they return with a new lamp. I guess if the old lamp was just arching, that would cause your problem. Hopefully it is as simple as that.

Larry-I posted on a couple of

Larry-I posted on a couple of different threads before I knew how this forum worked. I had a 65613 with that damned blinking light.  Posting here now because this is the only thread I subscribed to, and you answered me on here, then subsequently sent me the repair docs.  Just so you know, me and my 16 yr old son took the 4 caps out, ordered from Mouser. When delivered, we had them resoldered, and board reinstalled in less than an hour.  Plugged in, and waited for what seemed like an eternity for the light to stop blinking and go out. I even started doing the old "woe is me" act, then it STOPPED.  Chris hit the power button, and BANG-picture!!  I did do an advanced convergence after, but I think the picture was better than ever even before I did that.  Just wanted to thank you for your help.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Our's will be a little richer because of you!   Ben

(To all other posters-if Larry helps out-return the favor!)

Great news Ben! Happy New

Great news Ben! Happy New Year to you and yours!

hello Larry. I forgot to tell

hello Larry. I forgot to tell you.

When i took the lamp out, there is a white residue on the lamp surface. Does that mean it is burned?

Techs showed me a different brand of a dlp bulb, and surface of that was extremely crystal clear.

The reason I am going on and on and on about this lamp is:  I invited tons of people for new years eve, if it is not the bulb and somethingelse, i will be very upset. I just want to make sure it is looking at the syptoms.

thank you again

(I took pictures of the bulb, if you give me an email address: [email protected])

Larry Dillon
Most likely it is the bulb.

Most likely it is the bulb. The only way to really tell is to Replace it and see.

coming tomorrow. i paid xtra

coming tomorrow. i paid xtra $10 for saturday shipping, I will let you know.

vardar
sorry to bother you larry

sorry to bother you larry again, only you might answer this question.

Like I mentioned before, my lamp order is coming tomorrow. Do you think the lamp will come with the black casing? Or just the bulb?

If only the bulb is coming, I am screwed. Tech ppl, took the whole thing with them.

At the same time, I am assuming; since I paid $250 for the thing, it should include the casing.

man am I worried?

thank you

vardar, I do not know why you would doubt me man!? LOL! I am really glad you are now going to please the gang. Have them all come online to techlore and spread the Happy New Year cheer. I hope you can get them to do this. I will start a thread for the Happy New Year Cheer. Just a thread for those who wish to maybe share what they have planed for the new year. HAPPY NEW YEAR to you and yours! Have all your party members leave a nice message HERE

Larry Dillon said: This problem could be a bad DM board.  If you are handy or knows anyone who is, and they can solder, I have an instructional file that will show you how to take out the DM board, find the bad parts, and even give you a source where to get the parts. There are even pictures included!  Now once you get this apart, and the capacitors look good, check the capacitors, or have them checked.  I have seen in a few cases where some folks have only replaced the capacitors that looked bad.  If this does not fix your problem, you will need to have a pro come out and check out your TV set..  If you do not have a clue what you are doing, please play it safe and call in a tech.  If this board is indeed bad, the repair should not eceed 1000 bucks.  If you want this file, leave an e-mail address and i will forwar it to you.  Remember, there is a possibility that there is another problem with your TV set, but this has fixed over 65% of the peoples TV sets that I have shared this file with.  Good Luck, and let us know if this helps you.

Hi Larry,

I too have just experienced the blink of death on my Mistubishi WS-55859. It was working fine and I moved it into another room, no bumps or jostles occurred, and when I plugged it in, the Timer light just blinks and can't turn on. I would greatly appreciate it if you could also send me any instructions you may have that would allow me to fix this problem at [email protected].

Thanks for all you help,

Donn

Hi Larry,

Hi Larry,

I wanted to check in to verify that our name has been added to your list for the capacitor fix info.  We posted a few weeks ago and with the holidays and all just wanted to check in.  Hope you had a great holiday and our best wishes for a Happy New Year.  Thanks!

Hi

Hi

 I own a Mits WS65869  I have a 7 capacitor board, replaced them all with 35v radio shack capacitors.  Put everything back together and the light flashed for about 30-40 seconds and powers on. I though I was saved, then after about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes the set goes off and blinks again.  It will stop and allow me to power the set on again.  Same situation with repeat itself over and over.  Anybody have any thoughts?

Thanks

I have taken the my WD-25725 apart three times to date. First time I replaced the four caps with the 105 degree 1000mf 25vcaps from a local electronics shop. I plugged the set in and the light blinked for a long time. It suddenly stopped blinking. Cheers went throughout the house. The set stayed on going through programming of channels for about 20 minutes.

The light started blinking again and the set shut down.

Took the set apart again. found two plugs that were mixed and tried again. No luck.

Took the set apart and looked at the power supply and other boards to see if I could see any more bad caps. None were found. I decided to try replacing the four caps one more time.

Light is still blinking. Any thoughts on what to look at next?

Look at the fuses in the

Look at the fuses in the power supply, they are very small and may look like resistors.

paulroy
Thanks Larry

Thanks Larry

I will try that. I did check the three fuses on the DM board and the one glass fuse near the power cord. How many should I be looking for on the power supply board? I assume a continuity test is all that I would need to do. Thanks again for all your help.

Paul

Larry Dillon
There are also small ones

There are also small ones soldered in the board, in the main power supply. Yes, just do a continuity test on them.

I just finshed taking this WD 52725 apart once again and checked six 5A fuses, two 4A, one .63A and the main 10A fuses. All tested good for continuity. Any other thoughts on what to look at next.

Thanks
