Larry - Same Problem here...was out of town for a few - came back to a green blinking light. Can you please send repair insructions to neurodrive1@yahoo.com ---- thank you!

Winslow; listen to Larry he is the man.  I just repaired, (following Larry's instructions) my 65513 almost the same age as yours.  I don't know how to say the thanks I owe you Larry!  The best I can tell, you saved me somewhere between $700 - $1000 in repair cost.  Did I mention the four cap and the soldering tools set me back, at Radio Shack a rediculous amount $32.83!!!!!  And I have the desolder and soldering iron and the solder.  Some one should take Mitsu. to task over this problem.  It took me less than two hours including my drive to and from RS.  The only thing I did different was to release the chassis loosen the wires and move the chassis forward to make it easier to get to the screws in the back.  I also cleaned the lens on the lights which had a layer of dust on them.     

Again Larry you don't know how much I appreciate your guidance and the savings.  I was stuck and would have been eaten alive by the repair man.  In fact I was weighing the purchase of a replacement.

Thanks,

Larry Dillon said: If you are handy, and can solder, you may be able to save about 700 bucks if not more. There is a very common problem with these Mitsubishi TV sets. There is a digital board inside these puppies called the DM board. A lot of times there are four capacitors that go bad inside of these TV sets. Sometimes, depending on how bad the capacitors are, and if the capacitors did not blow out anything else on the Dm board, you can simply replace these four capacitors and this will fix your TV set. The average that this works on is about 65 to 70 % of the sets can be repaired with this fix. The others are power supply issues or the DM board has other issues. If you would like to attempt to repair your TV set, I will send you the instructions on how to do so.  If you do not know how to solder well, do not attempt to replace the capacitors yourself. Pay a pro to do this for you. After all you are already saving a bundle of cash. Leave an e-mail address, and I will forward you the fix with and without the light engine. And if the capacitors inside the board are not swollen on the tops, as the direction shows you what they look like, the capacitors are most likely not your problem.

Larry-  the blinking green light has gotten us too!  Could you please email the fix to lindatobin@cox.net.  Thanks!!!

Howard, I sent the information out to you also Good Luck

No it would not hurt what so ever, but will they fit inside the Assembly? Are they Hi temp Caps  This is why I recommend the HI temp caps. If you really wanna go cheap this could certainly burn out this DIGITAL board. you have to understand. This is not a simple repair. This is a sophisticated board that cost almost a grand!  Please follow the directions and do not go cheap. Find the right capacitors or you will not achieve what you are trying to accomplish. I am simply trying to help out folks, but when they try to defeat my directions, I have to throw up my hands. I truly hope you find the right parts and do not try and use cheap parts!  Good Luck

I have a mitsubishi ws-65315. Last night my power light was blinking and today it just stays on whenever you plug it in without powering the set on. It started off by powering the tv off and then after a minute or two I could power it back on but now all I get is the green power light and that is it. Any ideas of what I should try? I have been looking for an online repair guide that may help out but no success. I would appreciate any help. If someone could forward me the repair guide I would appreciate it.

does anyone have the model #'s of the caps that they have used.

Hey guys thanks for letting me into your community!

Ive got a problem 2....

Ive had my 65 in ws for 3 yrs now and it has done this before after a power outage It couldnt restart itself so I shut off the main power in the house and It "kicked" it back in motion When I turned the House power back on..(But ever since then I turn the power on to the TV and the picture waves into the screen  for the first 3- 5 seconds and then picture clicks in...It only does that once a day or after it sits for 8 hrs)   

Well today I got home to turn the tv on to notice same blinking lights but there not stopping and Ive tried the shutting off power trick 2 times with no help..

Thanks Larry what else could it be if its not the capacitors?

I appreciate You Guide And Help Larry! Thanks Mike  diggalot2@hotmail.com

I sent these documents to you. If though you have no experience doing any soldering or repairing printed circuit boards, play it safe and take the board and the capacitors to a pro. this fix works on about 65 to 70% of the peeps who have this problem. Good Luck
