Larry & Riley, I received the WS-65813 service manual that you sent and replaced the 4 CAPS on the DM Module with 1000uF, 35V, 105c capacitors. Verified cap polarity and proper solder connections. Upon power up, have the same issue: continuous "Blinking Green Light". Reset button has no effect. The unit makes NO unusual sounds. Could the eeprom board be bad. Is it labeled "E2P" on the DM circuit board. Any suggestions regarding where I might� obtain a replacement eeprom or other circuit board parts.� Do you have any additional troubleshooting advice. Your suggestions are appreciated.
By way of information, I sent a letter to Mitsubishi's Consumer Relations Department with a copy to Mitsubishi's President and CEO discussing this issue.� vicnlinda@hotmail.com

Kato said:I'm still waiting on the parts, I'm having a hard time locating the ones I need to replace WS-65315 , I have a different board than the one on the tutorial, the doubler module is the only board that plugs in vertically and looks very different, anyway you could hellp point me in the right direction. thank youjohnyluv said: I want to thank you in advance for the great job you have done, and the knowledge you shared regarding the Mitsubishi WS-65315, I have been searching for a year for over a year for help to fix my tv. I will order the parts tomorrow, the moron @ radio shack didn't have a clue of what I was looking for "sorry sir I can't locate that part on our system", I'm ordering the 4 pico CAPACITOR,RADIAL,1000uF 35V,! 20%,105C,13x21x5mm from jameco. Will replacing the 4 Pico capacitors fix the Vertical Deflection failure? When I attempt to power on the tv it shuts off immediately, I ran the self diag test and get 2-4 blinks which indicates Vertical Deflection failure, it almost sound to good to be true, is there anything else I should check or parts I should replace. I paid an online service that told me I should re-solder the power connection on the Red yoke board, said that they daisy chained the power cords from Blu-grn-red yoke board and this provided under/over current? I would appreciate any help you could provide, thank you. JohnHey John where are you at with the project did the cap replacement resolve the issue? Kato
When it started when I turned on the tv I would here sound breifly no picture and it would turn off, I tried all the inputs and got the same response, Now as soon as I turn on the tv it shuts down. I paid a guy on fix-it and told me to access the panel behind the speaker grill and move the gently move the wires around "You should see the Red CRT. On the side of the yoke towards the bottom of the Red CRT, you should see a gray or dark plastic housing. You should see wires with a with white plug on the end, that plugs into a board on the side of the Red CRT. That's the Vertical Stablizer board. Take a piece of wood and lightly move the wires over to one side while turning the power button on. Your TV will most likely power up." which I did a for a brief moment the TV stated to power up herd static before it shut down. Now the tv will not power on, the green led lights up then turns off. When I run the diagnostic menu+input it flashes 2x then 4x so 2-4 blinks, not listed in the service manual but from what I have read it's a vertical deflection fault.
I was considering buying the repair kit from tvrepairkits.com but I'm hoping with your generous guidance I can repair it for less than $70. I want to thank you again Kato, for trying to help me.

Alright we have in common the blinking green light and short power on scenerio that I am hoping will get you the same results I got. One question and sorry if I missed it in your recent post but did you replace your lamp or have a power failure or maybe a power spike?
Just a note, I think many "green blinking timer light" issue amoung so many is a simple fix, no parts to buy.
Ok 1st step, do you have the original remote? OR A universal remote that has all the functioning buttons so as to get into the menu pages? If your answer is yes then go to step 2.
Step 2. After you hear the tv power up you have a few seconds to enter on the remote "MENU 1,2,3" this should bring up the "Factory Reset" and this is different from the the reset button on the front of the tv. (If this does not pull up "Factory reset" then you should google what the procedure is for your model.) I am guessing it is the same for yours and mine as they are just one generation different. Mine is the "WD" series. Yours is the WS right?
Step 3. If you were able to get to this menu then choose the "initiate reset" to default.
That is it!
Let me know how it went.
I haven't replaced anything yet, I followed your instructions it was menu 123 enter to reset, the led stayed on breifly then I herd a woo woo woo woo sound from my speakers before it powered down. No picture what so ever came up. thanks again.I could take some pics of the borads if that might help, or electrical measurements if you could recomend a decent $50 multi meter or $100 tops.
johnyluv said: yes I have the WS-65315 older 2005 model.
Johnyluv don't stop with just one try. This procedure will need a few tries to get to this menu if you don't stick it the first time. You have within just a few seconds after you hear the tv power on to enter these inputs to get to this "factory reset menu". Please try again.
I have located similar explainations for this model. Try them too after you give it a few more goes.
Kato (P.S. r u possibly John Lovejoy from Tampa,Fl? just curious bc of your screen name)
I will presume you have the WS model listed here and have the Mitsubishi remote in working condition.
These sets have 3 hidden menus: Adjustment (stay out of that one), Convergence, and the OPTION MENU.
The option menu is the one you would want--it requires that you turn set on--enter a 4 digit number that is model specific.
In the option menu you can do a HARD reset which puts everything except convergence back to factory (that is stored in another area).
The reset puts all settings back to factory--set will come on once done on channel 3 in air band etc.
Let me know model number here is or is not correct and I will give you a link to the service manual with page number to look at---explains how to do the reset. Not a bad idea to save that manual as it contains all kinds of good info on this set.

AND ANOTHER POST REGARDING THE WS MODELS:

Unplug the unit for few minutes, say 15 minutes and then turn it ON. You might have to do this procedure a couple of times, to see if that helps. If not then,
Follow the steps below to reset system defaults to factory settings:
1. Press the MENU button followed by number buttons 1,2,and 3 on the remote control. Result: The Reset System Default menu screen is activated.
2. Press the ENTER button on the remote control. Result: The settings reset to factory defaults.
3. Press HOME or MENU on the remote control to return to the HOME or MENU screen.
IMPORTANT: This function is not recommended unless it is mandatoryto reset system defaults to factory settings. This operation CANNOT be undone and all customs settings will be erased.
No, sorry I'm not john lovejoy, I got my screen name from a nickname a group of girlfriends used to call me before I made the mistake of getting married, I'll never make that mistake again. lol
I've tried several times approx 15-20x, unplugged it a couple times for 15-30 minutes No Picture or Sound ever comes on, I have about 3 seconds to enter the code after I turn on the tv only the power led lights up on front, when I try to turn the tv without entering anything it only the led only last 1 second. I have coax cable connected to ant a. I really appreciate your help.

Have you had the chance to go through the list from the other 2 posters in my previous post to ya? They may have outlined the steps better/better clarity.
Is your timer blinking rapidly? (green)
I've followed both there instructions and verified it was correct power-menu 123 enter in the user manual. I could not get any sort of picture/menu to appear on the screen or sound. The green light just turns on and off after I try to power it on, when I put in the code it gives me the 3 seconds I need to enter it, then it turns off. When I run the diagnostic test (HOLDING INPUT+MENU) the green light blinks 2x then 4x. I appreciate everyone's assistance.
Johny you have a RPTV - Rear projection tv. Error 23 on these are a joke, it could be almost anything. First and formost check for open Resistors R5A73 - R5A02. If either one of these are open then you need a convergecne repair kit from the link below. These resistors should be close to IC8C01 & IC8C02 which can be seen on page 16 here: http://www.audiolabga.com/pdf/WS55315.pdf . If they are not open then you may have to remove the resistors or the IC chips to insure you are reading just the resistors for continuity. Any and all... meters read continuity, even 10$ meters.

Kato said:I appreciate you keeping an open mind. I hung onto my WD-52628 with the blinking green timer light for 4 months. I disassembled my set and looked at the boards for damage and found nothing. I knew there was something simple and this was the solution.johnyluv said: No, sorry I'm not john lovejoy, I got my screen name from a nickname a group of girlfriends used to call me before I made the mistake of getting married, I'll never make that mistake again. lol I've tried several times approx 15-20x, unplugged it a couple times for 15-30 minutes No Picture or Sound ever comes on, I have about 3 seconds to enter the code after I turn on the tv only the power led lights up on front, when I try to turn the tv without entering anything it only the led only last 1 second.

sorry for a stupid question I know what resistors are but how can I tell id they are open, what should I look for?
You have to read them with a volt meter set to continuity. Place a probe on each side of the resistor and observe the results. The two numbers I gave above that start with R are the numbers on the board for these resistors.

Thank's Evil I like your name, I'll pick up a midrange $40-60 mutimeter tomorrow, any brand or type you could recommend, I have a comp repair business,I would like to expand to tv repair and I'm sure I'll be using it often. After I fix this old big CRT, I have 5 LCD TV & Monitors I have to repair, back-light or inverter board issue.
I appreciate your help, everyone here has been great.
Electronic component repair is a giant leap from simple plug and play with a little programing. Expecially for someone who doesn't know how to read a resistor. My advise would be stay with what you know best. A RPTV has 3 crt's, red,green,blue. I have been tinking with components for years and have just started my degree in electronic engineering and can honestly say I still do not know anything about them. Strange how the more I learn the less I know. What ever the decision is good luck.

Oh and on the lcd tv's the usual culprit is in the SMPS board.

Oh Slam!!!!! first I was referring to the type of TV, and I'm very confident and determined to complete any project I start, I know how to use a multimeter and have repaired several circuit boards traveling the country as an LED repair tech repair the the large streets signs that flash/ scroll text messages and pictures, I'll admit their design was simple and it's been a few years and I may be a little rusty, I simply asked if you could recommend a decent multimeter since I can't afford to drop $300 on a Fluke or another brand for around $50, I know a cheap $10 would work but it's something I know I'll use regularly. It's not rocket science and knowledge is power. I believe the best way to learn is hands on by trying something new. If you "stick with what you know" you will never grow!
I paid close to 2K for this tv in 2005 and determined to fix it myself along with the help and guidance of my new found friends on this great community.
No slaming here just being real. You would be very surprised at just how much harder electronic repair is than building something that shoots a flame out of it. A saying comes to mind "if it were that easy women and children would do it". if you are serious about dabling in electronics I would suggest a meter with a transistor checker built in or atleast a diode function which you will most likely use quiet often. It's no curve tracer but it will get you by. As long as you are willing I will continue to throw suggestions at you that I have encountered with these sets. Let me know about the resistors.

Thanks for you recommendation on what to look for in a Multimeter, I'll get back to you after I test the resistors. I could have probably taken the easy way out by buying the repair kit and change out the parts to get it working but I wouldn't have learned anything. Best way to learn is hands on, identifying the problem to get the solution, along with the guidance of experienced technicians like yourself. I appreciate the help.
