Hi Larry -

I had my Mits WS-55813 fixed twice (once under warranty) for the green light problem. A few months ago I paid $400 for a repairman to come out and fix it again.

Now I have a different problem: When watching a DVD for a while, the screen will suddenly start to roll fast vertically. If I turn the TV off and back on, the picture comes back ok, but the roll occurs more often after that. Logically, seems like a heat-related problem.

When playing video games, the set will, after about 20 minutes, lose the picture completely and go to blue. Repowering the set will fix it temporarily but again the issue happens more and more frequently until it's unusable.

I felt like I got pretty ripped off last time, considering the tech replaced about $15 worth of parts. I want to see if I can resurrect the TV myself and save several hundred dollars.

Any idea what specifically might cause these problems? Could you send me a copy of the service manual for the WS-55813? I'm experienced with tech, I've disassembled and repaired cameras before, but a TV is a new one. I'm aware of the massive voltages involved and know that I need to discharge certain capacitors or risk getting burned. Any other tips for working on this specific model would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your time!
Phil

My 5-year old WS-55813 regularly turns itself off after 30 minutes (blinking green LED) but only on digital channel 80.1 (ABC on Comcast), other channels, component and video inputs work fine.

I replaced four 1000 uF, 16 V, 105 C capacitors and two 4-A fuses on DM board but the set keeps turning itself off. I did several reset but it still turns off. I bought the kit here: http://tvrepairkits.com/order-now/209.html

Is there anything else I can do to prevent this? Could it be a "bad" digital signal carried in this band for channel 80.1, unlikely?

Larry and Speed, any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Please kindly send me WS-55813 info and service manual. Thank you.
