New member Username: TeamsimplePost Number: 1 Registered: Jan-08 | DIAMOND HDTV IS A LUMP OF COAL Today marks 30 days since our Mitsubishi WD-52825 HDTV was picked up by the factory authorized service representatives to be serviced for the fourth time since we purchased from Tweeters Home Entertainment Group for $3,899.99 on 4/6/2005. $5,260.00 in total at the Tweeter Store including stand, cables, taxes. Sold as the "top of the line model" the television came without the proper software to allow the DVR to work with the set and the TV Guide on Screen. Within 10 days of install by Tweeters the picture failed. The Tweeters representative said it was the cable provider and we had the cable card replaced. Since that date we have had 11 cable cards and three cable boxes installed in the TV. On 10/19/2005 the factory representative came with a complete light engine to service the set. Because of the 10 plus days the TV was out of service I had contacted Mitsubishi and found out that there was a software upgrade that would "resolve" the problem. It was sent to me and I installed it prior to the service and it brought the picture back to life. Never did Mitsubishi or Tweeters let us know that there were multiple software upgrades released over the two years since our purchase of the television to address problems with the product. None of the upgrades have resolved our problems. When the service representative came for the third visit November 16th of this past year, the set had not been working for over a week. It is now 60 plus days without a set even though we purchased the Tweeter Factory Service Extended Warranty. The service representative came back the second week of December with several parts which he installed and the HDTV would not power up. This was the first time that the cabinet was completely disassembled and the tech stated that there were wires that were severed on a cable that looked like it came from the factory defective and " he was surprised that the set had functioned at all from the beginning." He also stated that this was a part that was not in the Mitsubishi parts bin and he would try to get it as soon as possible. We believe that we are covered or should be covered by Mitsubishi for this factory defect. We believe (see attached) that Tweeter should under their extended warranty provide us with a new set. Mitsubishi has been of no help at all yet their outsourcing call center folks have impeccable English. We have not heard back from Tweeters, as stated at the beginning of this letter, in 30 days. Should not "Mitsubishi THE LEADER IN TELEVISION TECHNOLOGY FOR MORE THAN 25 YEARS" stand behind their product and correct the problem and should not Tweeter honor the terms of the Extended Warranty? Please facilitate this request and please help us. We are not asking for anything that was not contracted, agreed upon, paid for or covered under law. |

New member Username: Mick25Post Number: 1 Registered: Jan-08 | I have a WS55513 TV that had the dreaded blinking green light. $75 later a repairman said it would be over $1000 to fix it. I found this forum, and replaced the 4 capacitors on the DM board and the TV WORKED.....for 30 minutes. I did not reinstall the cover over the board, because it kept hitting the new capacitors, but everything else went together perfectly. Now, the TV will work fine for 30 minutes to 5 hours, then the picture will black out for a second, and reset itself with the format displayed on the upper left corner. Every few days, the remote control and power switch stops working and I have to unplug it for a minute, then everything will work again. Some days the TV will play fine all day, others it lasts for 30 minutes, then starts blacking out every few seconds to every few minutes. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fully repair this TV, or what the new problem is? It is only 3 1/2 years old. I am reluctant to trash it after such a short time after spending all the money I did for it. |

New member Username: Msyed500Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-08 | Hello, I have the WD-57731, and it has not been 1 year since i purchased this tv. It was working fine and all of a sudden recently when I powered it on, the video is not coming, but the sound does. There is a blinking green light on the timer indicator and then it turns into a solid green light on the same timer indicator, but the screen remains blank. Then after 1-2 minutes, the solid green light on the timer indicator turns into a solid red light on the status indicator, and the tv seems to shut off. The video is not coming at all. I don't think this is a lamp problem, since the lamp indicator did not turn on at all. Please help me someone, I will really appreciate it. |

New member Username: WheresthesunBuffalo, NY USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Feb-08 | I have a Mitsubishi VS 5041 Rear Projection Television; it was working fine this morning. All I wanted to do, was adjust the brightness, and ended up playing with settings. I cannot access the television now, although what I CAN do is play DVDs, no prob. and view TV stations in a tiny little box (PIP) without sound. Again, can't get the actual television to function properly. I have all hooked up for antennae A, checked all my plugs, etc... I did unplug everything and went through the initial setup process...nothing. Any thoughts? __________________ |

New member Username: GinawaltPost Number: 1 Registered: Feb-08 | Hi I have a Mitsubishi big screen WS65613 1080. It started this winter, early mornings; when we pushed the power button the green LED light would blink, sometimes it would turn on other times it would not. We figured that it was because the house was cold. This week the green light blinks, will not stop blinking even when it is reset or unplugged from the power source. What do you think is wrong? Thanks |

New member Username: GurskPhiladelphia, PA US Post Number: 2 Registered: Mar-08 | Hi, I've got a WS-55809 that's showing vertical lines on the entire screen. Did some trouble shooting last night and still the same. Tried reset, disconnected direct tv from it, unplugged and waited 4 hrs., plugged it directly into the wall instead of the surge protector. Nothing. When I play the DVD player the picture is perfect. Can't figure out why that would be. Wondered if anyone had some ideas on this....before I go calling a repair place. Thanks in advance! |

New member Username: Lilly23NYC Post Number: 1 Registered: Mar-08 | I have a mitsubishi WS-65807. It used to have a convergence issue, where there would be green and red lines around objects and words. That used to be fixed by tapping the lower side of the TV. Now, the tv will not power on. It makes no sounds when the power button is pressed, and nothing happens. I tried pressing "menu and input" but there are no blinking lights whatsoever. I would appreciate any help!! |

Help would be greatly appreciated, thanks! |

New member Username: ThelandlordPost Number: 1 Registered: Mar-08 | I have a Mitsubishi model 65819. I am getting what looks like cracks on the screen. I don't know if I have a removable diamond screen or not. I can only find two screws behind the lift up panel on the front. What is causing the cracks? |
|
New member Username: CliffgrimesDenver, CO USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Mar-08 | Wow - there is a lot of info on this problem. I have a mits 46809 and ran into the convergence IC problem. I replaced the STK 392-570 ICs and put the board back but still had problems. I could see text but it was way out of convergence and the projectors would flash for the first 1 minute when I turned it on. I removed the board and took it to work - where I could check the components under a scope. Solder looked fine and no burns. I did find that one of the white ribbon cables had a pin pushed out so I checked the other side at home and found that 2 of these connectors had the same problem. I pushed the blades back into the connector and carefully reassembled. I turned the set on and I had good picture and convergence! Great, for about 15 minutes and then the set turned off. Now it will not stay on - it comes on for 1s. I suspect the pico fuses as mentioned above but will re-check the connector cables. Do the new ICs draw more current or did the old fuses just get weak? Just wondering why these would go bad with the new ICs. |
|
New member Username: CliffgrimesDenver, CO USA Post Number: 2 Registered: Mar-08 | Found one of the 5a pico fuses to be bad, pulled the board (again) and replaced both. Put the board back in and everything works great! I had to adjust the focus but that was probably due to cleaning the lenses. Is there a way to adjust the screen image? It appears that the image is larger than the screen - some of the edge text is not visible. |

Silver Member Username: OvadoggvoPost Number: 128 Registered: May-07 | Gina, The power issue you are describing seems like a Lamp issue.. Have you replaced your lamp? That would be a starting point. |
|
Silver Member Username: OvadoggvoPost Number: 130 Registered: May-07 | Mary & Racheal, Unplug your TV for 10-15 minutes from the power source, then plug it back in. Turn the TV on... There is a small reset button right next to the lamp light in the front of your TV. While the TV is in the ON position, press and hold that button for 10 second... The TV should start to REBOOT. If the problem continues please let us know, we will move toward the next step in diagnosing the TV. |

New member Username: JohnserbaPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-08 | Anybody have any advice for my problem: I have a Mitsubishi WD-62528. I turn it on, and get static. I can get to the menu, but it will lock up either when A) I attempt to access the audio setup portion of the menu or B) try to switch the input with the "device" button. Eventually, it shuts itself off and I get a rapidly blinking green light. I just got home from vacation, and there may have been a power surge because I understand the power was shut off while we were gone and some of my other electronic items were out of wack. Wondering if the tv problem is related. Thanks in advance for any help... |

New member Username: Yfz450gcCISCO, TEXAS USA Post Number: 2 Registered: Apr-08 | John, I to am having this problem. after a surge my LED light just blinks. after about a day it came back on and worked for a while but know it is blinking again. and we have not had any more surges. my model # is w55513. i still am looking for help.. |
|
New member Username: JohnserbaPost Number: 2 Registered: Apr-08 | Gary: Luckily, I figured it out... I turned the TV on, and while the static was blaring, I could access the menu. I pulled up the "netcommand" option, and completely deleted the previous settings and started over from scratch, assigning inputs, etc., and it started working again - for two days now, with no problem. Why it did this, I don't know... but yeah, mine worked for a while, but before the fix, some of my settings would be messed up (for example, it turned the TV speaker on when I previously had it shut off so I could run audio through my home theater), and I'd occasionally turn on the TV and get the "you need to set up the netcommand" screen, which I'd just cancel out of. But I didn't want to get that screen every time I turned it on, so I futzed with it, and that's when the TV started acting up. It didn't make sense that the TV would work for a while, then suddenly, bang, the blinking green light, and the reset wouldn't work. So I just lucked upon a solution through trial and error... hope it works for you. |

New member Username: KipsylalaPost Number: 1 Registered: Apr-08 | I have a WS 55859 with problems - switches on and then off immediately... with a click coming from inside. I had the blinking green light of death 6 months ago so I replaced the bad capacitors on the DM board 6 months ago and it was working fine after that - until now. I found 2 bad PICO fuses on the main board F9A04 and 05 and these have been replaced and now test fine. But the TV still won't turn on and stay on --- HELP - Please !! what to test, where to test and how. Thanx in advance. James |

New member Username: Cara75Kyle, Texas Post Number: 1 Registered: Apr-08 | We have a WS-65513 that suddenly won't turn on today. The green LED is blinking fast and has been all day. I unplugged it from the wall for about an hour and a half, plugged it back in and it was immediately blinking again. I tried holding the reset button down for 10 seconds and that didn't do anything. It seems like most other posters here were changing some setting at the time it went kaput or are at least able to get their TV to come on for a few seconds, but I don't even get that. And it worked fine last night when I watched it, but not this morning. I have a 2.5 year old and a 1 year old and I assumed they just pushed the buttons on the front repeatedly until it messed up, but after reading this thread, I wonder if something bigger isn't going on. And belatedly, I found today in the manual where I can apparently lock those buttons on the front of the set so the kids can't mess with them. Can anyone point me in the right direction? My husband would probably be able to do any sort of replacement/fix, we just need to know what to fix. Thanks! Cara |

New member Username: ImillardBrampton, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1 Registered: May-08 | I am working on a Mitsubishi VS-5041 rear projection set. Originally it would work unless a 'black' screen came up, when the red color would 'bloom' until the set shut down (on overload?) Now the TV goes on, and after 4-5 minutes it shuts itself off. (The relay near the PS heatsink clicks off.) Each time the TV remains on for a shorter period, until finally it won't come on at all. After several hours the cycle will begin again. Also, there is a very thin black line across the center of the screen, regardless of what is being shown. And, the bottom center of the picture is warped upwards. Pincushion adjustments have no effect. There doesn't seem to be any manuals or schematics available. So, can anyone tell me specifically which components to look at? Or are there three different problems? Thanks; Ian |

New member Username: RlphwiggumPost Number: 2 Registered: Jun-08 | i have a WT46805 46" mitsubishi HDTV DLP i got the issue with the convergence/3D effect. it would come and go. now it's to the point where my TV doesn't even stay on. i'll turn it on, the timer light comes on, for about 3 seconds, no video, no audio, then it turns off. i did the menu/input button and got 2 - 2. through researching it seems like i need two things: - 2 new pico fuses, which are ordered and on their way - 2 new convergence ICs? here's the issue, i'm not sure what model i need. another person has this same issue but a different model TV and they were instructed to use sanyo STK392-570 ICs but before spending $40 on both of 'em, i wanted to be positive. thanks so much. |

New member Username: Travis_mcdavidPost Number: 1 Registered: Jun-08 | I have a Mitsubishi Vs-60601 60" rear projection TV. We got it for free from a relative, and it worked great for a while. One day, while our daughter was watching it, the picture and sound stopped and then only a repetitive "thump, thump, thump" noise was audible. ~2 thumps a second or so if I had to guess. Is there anyway I can fix this myself or would we be better off using it as fire wood and purchasing new? |

New member Username: Kenw33Post Number: 1 Registered: Jun-08 | I have a WS-55859 that started acting up this week. When I turned it onto analog TV I get sound but no picture. I also get no picture when switched to my inputs such as satellite or VCR. I do get a normal HD picture and sound when switched to the digital TV input using the internal tuner. Also, all of my menus are displayed normally. I noticed that if I go into the menu to add/delete analog channels that the analog picture displays normally in the background behind the menu. I did a hard reset to clear all settings and reconfigured all channels. Again, I could see the analog picture in the background as it added channels but once I left the setup screen I had audio but no video. Does anyone have an idea what might cause this problem? Thanks, Ken |

Turns on but some of the function buttons on the remote will not work (pip swap, menu, pip chanel up/down). After about 15 seconds the set powers off and the green timer light blinks rapidly for about 15 seconds and then stops. Then I can power the set back on but the cycle continues. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Silver Member Username: OvadoggvoPost Number: 161 Registered: May-07 | James Brinkly, Try disconnecting the ballast after replacing the fuses... Then attempt to turn on the set without the ballast.. see if it blows the fuses still. I'm thinking there is a fault in the high voltage power source wich is comming back to give the main power board a kick-back. Also.. Check for bad transistor on the main power board. Normally the cause of blowing fuses. |

Silver Member Username: OvadoggvoPost Number: 162 Registered: May-07 | Cara, I'm sure it's just a lamp issue! I get mine from Discount-Merchant.com ... They have mitsubishi lamps for less than $150! For just about all models.. Pull the lamp first to see if there is physical damage before hand.. |

New member Username: Yikes2000Post Number: 1 Registered: Oct-08 | Just want to share my story. Perhaps it will help someone as this whole thread has helped me. I have a Mitsubishi WS-65857 manufactured in 2001. It developed the "hourglass" problem slowly over several months (it comes and goes, but eventually stayed), so I ordered 3 STK392-570 and 2 125V/5A PICO fuses from FIRST repair attempt, one month ago: I opened up the TV and checked the soldering connections to old STK390-570's. They looked perfect, no heat induced separation. I replaced them with a pair of new ones anyway. Also checked the fuses, all were good. Turned on the TV, green light came on for 2-3 seconds, then shuts off (self protection mode). Re-checked the fuses, one of them (F9A04 or 05) was open. Pulled out the board and replaced both. Turned on TV and it worked - for a few weeks. SECOND repair attempt, yesterday: TV went into self protection mode again. My wife said our toddler was turning it on and off rapidly, then it did this. I re-checked all fuses, F9A04 and 05 were both open. Went to a local electronics store and bought 5 125V/5A PICO fuses in a tube for $13. I had a hunch I was going to burn throught these. Replaced F9A04/05 and turned on the TV. Self protection mode again. Re-checked fuses, F9A04 was open. At this point I suspected one of the new STK392-570 had gone bad, but which one? They both looked fine. Picked one at random and replaced it with the spare STK392-570. Also replaced F9A04. Turned on TV, self protection mode. Sigh... One last shot: replaced the other STK392-570 with the one I just pulled out, also replaced F9A04 yet again. Turned on TV, SUCCESS! Hopefully it will work for longer than a few weeks this time. SUMMARY: I ordered 3 STK392-570 and one of them went bad within a month. My soldering skill is above-average (a lot of practice in high school), so rule out human error. These STK392-570 were $5.99 each. Other places were $18 and claimed to be "Sanyo 100% original", although I've read that Sanyo no longer makes these, so they are basically the same parts. Maybe, maybe not. Who knows. It's also possible that something else in my TV is damaging the STK392-570. But I don't have the time or technical skill to diagnose it, so I will wait and see. |

New member Username: MabPost Number: 1 Registered: Oct-08 | I'm working on a convergence problem with the TV I have. I replaced both STK329-110 with STK329-125's (which may have been my first mistake). After replacing them I brought up the menu for setting factory defaults on convergence. This did not work so I went to the manual menu and found I could not move the cross hairs left/right. They would move up/down but since things were out of line that did not help. I've search on this board for similar problems and did not find this, wondering if anyone here knows what could be the problem. My first guess is bad STK chips, but don't really know. Thanks for any help... |

My WS65869 just started doing this 2 days ago after a power failure. Have left it unplugged for 24 hours, tried the reset, etc. No luck. Does anyone have the 'fix' for this? I read a few posts about replacing caps, what caps? Is there a service manual available somewhere? Thanks - Jim |

Bronze Member Username: PlaneracerPost Number: 48 Registered: Mar-06 | Jim, if you look from back of your TV set, you will see separate inputs for digital tuner. Mits. Calls that DM module. Inside of that module only have a 2 boards.1 big one is dm board, other one small one, which mounted on top of 1st is a power board for dm. On that power board you will see about 6 or 7 1000mf caps. 1 or 2 of them probably went bad. If you can check which ones went bad, then good, just replace them with new ones. If you cant, then replace all. Good luck |

New member Username: JunglestudPost Number: 2 Registered: Nov-08 | A long shot, but if anyone can't seem to get their set working, I need some parts that would work on a ws65807. I know alot of the other models interchange, so hopefully I might have a bit of luck! |

New member Username: C_mitchell06Post Number: 2 Registered: Nov-08 | ok thanks, now is there a possible way to find out were to look in the back of the television in order to fix it? it said i should look at the capacitor on the vertical I.C, were is that? |

New member Username: DennislvLas Vegas, NV Post Number: 7 Registered: Aug-07 | Typically where the flyback connectors to the PCB. You really need to be familiar with what your doing to do this safely. Look for obviously defective parts. |

New member Username: C_mitchell06Post Number: 3 Registered: Nov-08 | is there somehow i can see a picture of where it is located? thanks for helping me out with this. |

New member Username: C_mitchell06Post Number: 4 Registered: Nov-08 | there is a flicker and it makes a flicker noise, what is a dry joint? and there is a brown wire coming out of the video board and it connects to nothing. |

New member Username: BrossdavisPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-08 | Hey, can someone help me with my WS-55807 55"? The screen turns on then goes blank after a few minutes, and the sound remains the same. Turning off the TV brings the picture back sometimes, as does lightly tapping the sides, but now it's getting harder to get it to come back. Also, the picture will come back and stay sometimes, or it will just cut back out in another minute. Weird. |

New member Username: SpagnaBoca Raton, FL USA Post Number: 1 Registered: Nov-08 | Hello, I have a WS-48511 that I purchased on 2002-11-29, so it is 6 years old. A couple of weeks ago, when I switched from Ant-DTV to Cable, the unit shut off. When I tried to turn it back on, the green light would come on for about 3 seconds and then it went out and the unit will not come on. I searched on the internet and found this forum. When I pressed and held Device and Menu for 5 seconds, I received the 22 code (5 times), Short Detect. So, I took the set apart (instructions for this are slightly different than in the document I downloaded from this site, see below). My DM board is a separate board and had 7 of the 1000 uf capacitors on it. So ordered them and just finish replacing them My unit will stil not come on. However, not I get the 21 code (X-Ray protect). What do I have to do to fix that? Thanks, Rick To remove the box with the DM board on the WS-48511, you don't need to move the main board. There are 4 sets of wires coming out of the box. Once you disconnect them, simply push up on the box and pull it forward to get it out. |

New member Username: SpagnaBoca Raton, FL USA Post Number: 2 Registered: Nov-08 | In regards to my last post, I checked again and now it flashes the 22 code. What else could it be? |
|
New member Username: SpagnaBoca Raton, FL USA Post Number: 3 Registered: Nov-08 | One other note, I thought I had ordered the 25 volt capacitors, but I ordered the 16 volt ones. Could this be the problem (that is, I need to use the 25 volt capacitors instead of the 16 volt)? |

New member Username: ThedeftoneskidPost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-08 | Hi, A Mitsubushi ws55711 was handed down to me with issues from the start. The screen could not properly converge... I could get about 2/3 of the tv to line up and that would leave the remaining 1/3 out of whack with out being able to adjust it. Also the picture bent in at the bottom on both sides. I took of the speaker grills and unscrewed the plate in the middle to get at the focus adjustment knobs, fiddled with them for a little bit with out getting the result I wanted. Did some more searching online and found a service manual... I got into the advanced convergence menu and started adjusting the settings in there. While adjusting the width of the picture the tv shut off. I tried turning it back with no luck, tried resetting it with the pinhole button with no luck and I tried unplugging it with no luck. When I press the device and menu buttons on the front I get the error 22 which is "Short Protect". I was wondering if there was another way of doing a hard reset or whipping any settings without having the tv power on. Thanks |

New member Username: JmsmainePost Number: 1 Registered: Nov-08 | I have a Mitsubishi MD-52825 Black Diamond DLP. I too have the pulsating green light of doom. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this beast? It is strange because sometimes it will just work, other times it just needs to be rebooted once, today... there is no hope. Thanks for any helpful advice. |

Bronze Member Username: PlaneracerPost Number: 49 Registered: Mar-06 | Joe, How did you check front control buttons? Did you unplug front control board? If not then, just unplug whole front control board. then try remote |

New member Username: SpagnaBoca Raton, FL USA Post Number: 4 Registered: Nov-08 | I have a Mitsubishi WS48-511. See my posts above. After replacing the 7 caps on the DM Board, I still had the error code 22. So, time to call in the experts. I used Stereo Fixers in Boca Raton. Turns out the convergence control IC needed to be replaced. After he mentioned that this is what was needed, I remembered having problems with the convergence on and off for a few days before the set would not come back on. So, for just under $400, my set is back and working. |

New member Username: Joe321Post Number: 2 Registered: Nov-08 | T, thank you for helping. I just unpluged the front board and tried the remote... nothing. when i plug it in i can here the high pitched charge up sound that it would normaly make. |

New member Username: AtrigoPost Number: 1 Registered: Dec-08 | hello all, first of all, great discusion site... I have a MITSUBISHI WT 42313 with convergence problems. the initial problem was the RED convergence; a really bad 3-D effect. I replaced the 2 STK 394-250 chips, and it seemed to work fine for about 3 hours, then the red convergence problem comes back. now, after power-up, the tv works fine for about 30 minutes and then my convergence problems. any sugesstions, fixes, pics of fuses? |

New member Username: BhinesleyIn Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-08 | Hello, I'm looking for help with my Mitsu WS55807. A year ago it would not power on, no green light- nothing. Had it looked at & the tech replaced the resistor at location R9A02, after which it worked perfectly. Then 6 months later the same thing. So i replaced the resistor, but there were no specs on what the resistor should be. I was advised to use a 5w 2.2 ohm resistor which I did and the tv works but the picture is not what it should be. there is a green fringe/ghosting. Any ideas??? the set is 8 years old but beautiful when it works, I don't want to spend a lot to fix it. |

New member Username: BlacdardHouston, TX Post Number: 1 Registered: Dec-08 | I've got a WS-65903. It's had a few problems over the years (the repair job I paid for used very inadequate replacement parts... 1300V 12A transistor instead of 1700V 20A, for example) Anyway, it started with the "powers off after being turned on" thing again, so I replaced that power transistor and got it to start up. Now, the red convergence seems messed up, as the red portion of the screen scrolls quickly up and a little left until jumping back down and starting over again. So, I swapped the convergence hybrids to see if it would start scrolling horizontally (to identify which to replace, and isolate it further otherwise), only it didn't change that and now the blue channel is doing the same sort of thing. I'm going to try swapping them back, but does anyone have a better idea what's going on? |

New member Username: Big_al_dogs125Post Number: 2 Registered: Jan-09 | now after i removed the digital control box and checked the pico fuses on the dm board i put it all back together and now the blinking has stopped and when i turn on the tv it goes on then turns off after 2 or 3 secs does there have to be a signal to the tv for it to stay on or did i stumble onto something that changed the way it is behaving since the blinking has stopped maybe i moved something or tightened 1 of the 4 harnesses enough to make it stop blinking ty for any help |

New member Username: Big_al_dogs125Post Number: 3 Registered: Jan-09 | well i found the problem to my mitsu ws-55859 blinking light on the front turns out the dm board was touching the metal plate that it is fastned to i dont know how but it was? Also there were marks on the metal plate that seemed to coincide with the two black volt regulators their position were exactly mirrored on the plate from the position on the board i put some paper between the board and plate and thats why the blinking stopped but now i have the problem of where i turn it on and 2or 3 secs later it turns off i dont know if this will help anyone but i will keep on trying to fix the prob and let everyone know my progress so they can fix their mitsu as well i think im gonna check the dm board a lil closer seeing as it was touching the metal tray it is mounted too or maybe just buy a new dm board if anyone knows where to buy the dm board as cheap as poss pls let me know ty 1 and all |
