Me too. A WD-62825. System reset gives the blinking light. When it stops we try to power it on and nothing. Feels dead. Have been able to get it to power on a few times in the past but it started happening more often and I think it's really dead this time. Have tried the unplugging.
Would appreciate any relevant instructions to cannesdo@yahoo.com
Thanks so much!

It looks like I am joining the "Mitsubishi party" with everyone else with this "blinking green light of death" problem. This time it is with model WD-62825. It was manufactured in October of 2004....so it's just around that three year mark I am hearing people mention.
I believe this is probably related.....I am now on my third bulb - the first one fried, the second one the yellow warning status light came on within less than ten hours of use, and when I put the third new one in, I am now just getting that blinking green status light - nothing else. I have tried manually resetting, unplugging, and every combination of those possible - and still no picture....and the bowl games are coming....help!
If the same, "replace the caps" repair that I see being suggested on other units will work for mine, you could forward me whatever information you can (repair instructions, manual, where to buy, etc...) to dammeyergolf@hotmail.com, I would greatly appreciate it.
Some additional questions: Are there any additional caps (or anything else) I should consider replacing while I am in there, to potentially avoid having to do this, or something else, all over again in a few months?
Are there any mirrors, or screens, or any "dust collectors" in the area I will be at that I should hit while I have the back off?
And finally, it seems like if everyone is frying 16v capacitors. Is there any advantage of replacing them with something more meaty - or is that likely to cause issues somewhere else? How meaty can/should I go...if I should upgrade?
THANKS in advance!
Merry Christmas!

Hi Larry, Could you please send me those repair instructions on the mitsubishi WD-62825? Seems mine just joined the "green light" list. Tons of thanks to you Larry. send to m.gloede@yahoo.com again thanks alot.

The list of victims of the "Green Light From Hell" continues to grow. It would also seem Larry has no answer for this problem. None of us have ever heard from "Larry". Perhaps he no longer visits this site. Whatever the case... to seek help here is of no use. Should any of you find an answer, or repair help, please post it so we may all benefit. Good luck to us all.

Great to hear you are trying. Sorry if I unnerved you and for the challenges you are facing. At least you responded and you are still kickin'. Bringing my WD 62862 back to life is of no importance when compared to saving yours. Best of luck. Just know that all of our prayers will be with you and your family for a quick and lasting recovery.

Larry,
I too am a victim of the blinking light. I have a 3 year old Mitsubishi - WD-62825 and after a surge a few months ago my TV locked on the blinking light and will not turn on.
I would appreciate if you could email me instructions on how to change the capacitors, if you think that could also be the problem with my TV.
Please send to jaye@texasmartini.com
Thanks!

Hello all,
Not sure if this board is monitored anymore but our power went out and now I can not get our Mit. 62825 to come back on. The timer light keeps blinking green and no matter what I do it will not stop. If anyone has the fix instructions to fix this I would greatly appreciate it. This is a DLP 2004/5?
Send any info to bigfishtanks@yahoo.com

Larry,
First off, my prayers to you for positive treatment results. Now regarding my menial problem with my dlp WD52525. I've replaced all the jamicon caps on all pcb's. Seems like some progress. Now the tv may operate for 1/2 hr, 8hrs, or 2 days randomly. One thing for sure is that when it does fail to the blinking green light, this is the consistent symptom that leads to it. I lose actual picture and the picture freezes to random horiz/vertical color bars/lines. From research, seems like the fmt pcb. Any insight is appreciated. Also, can you send me the info you've sent out for my model please. Thanks (newgman@cox.net)

Hello Larry, It definitely sounds like you a person in high demand. I'm having the same "blinking green light" problems. Reading all the threads, it sounds like my capacitors are the culprit. I, like the rest of the weekend tv repair warriors will give it a stab at fixing the problem myself. Could you send me the manual and instructions? My email address is tyreew@comcast.net.
Thank you in advance, will you and everone post on how it goes.

Hi Larry
Would it be possible to get a set of instructions on repairing the same blinking green light on my WD-62825 projection television. I am very surprised that Mitsubishi does not have a recall on this unit. I am also surprised that the part needed to repair this unit is no longer available. I have had my television for about 2 and a half years also. I paid over $5000.00 dollars for this tv. Hmmm, I wonder if these class action lawsuit attorneys would be interested in a class acction lawsuit against Mitsubishi to get them to repair these defects in these televisions since there seem to be numerous people with this blinking green light touch of death problem.
$5000 dollars for 2 and a half years is not very good at all.
I don't think I will be buying another Mitsubishi in my lifetime if Mitsubishi does not come through for some repairs on these units.
Thank you Larry

Hi Larry,
I wanted to post this because i think i found a simple work around for the WD-62825 blinking green light. I was able to reset by unplugging the power connector on the board to the right of the DM board (It's a 4 pin connector that is under a bundle of wires ) and then apply power to the set. Wait 1 min. for the set to reset (no flashing green light) and then plug the connector back in. I was then able to turn the set on successfully. I then installed a small ON/OFF switch in a already open hole at the bottom of the board (right next to the cable card slot). This switches power on the orange wire found on the 4 pin connector. It was also easy to modify the cover panel to allow for the switch because of vent holes in that area. Now it works like this - if i lose power and get the flashing green light all i have to do is unplug the set, turn the switch off, plug the set back in, wait 1 min. for reset then turn the switch back on. There has to be an issue with this board to find out if and what it is could cost hundreds. All i know is my set is working for now and thats a good thing.
September 23, 2008 11:49 PM
Larry,
Any idea why this would work and could this be unique to his set?
thanks,
Richard
