Mitsubishi 65" WS-65813 blinking light

Larry,  as many others, I too, am having the same problem with my Mitsubishi WS65713 4-year old television.  I had a repairman come and take a look after a week of trying everything to get it back on.  After an hour, he said I needed a new DM unit.  After reading all of these posts, I am hoping that it can be fixed with the repairs you have mentioned.  Could you please send me the info and instructions on how to fix this problem?  I would greatly appreciate it!!  My e-mail is [email protected].  Thanks, Motier

I haven't repaired the TV yet because it is now working.  Is this common to have the blinking green light come and go?  The TV seems to be working fine now....who knows how long it will last, though!

Thanks!

in10ss, this is a very common fault with the DM and the Capacitors. You should NOT wait till the set goes out again! If you do, there is a good possibility the DM will or can be damaged by the capacitors. Do yourself a large favor and have the caps changed now.

Motier, I am sending you the info you have requested. Good Luck with the repair.

Any other places to buy the caps?  Digi-Key says they won't ship until 01/02/2008!

Can you give me an idea of how long the installation of the caps should take? Just want to make sure I spend the proper time!

Thanks!

It would depend on how technically inclined you are or how much mechanical ability you have. Me? I can do one in under an hour for sure. I have heard some have taken a few hours.

Hi Larry, I too just ran into the 'flashing-ligh of death' on my WS-65813 this morning.

Could you please forward the instruction to me too plz :)

These capacitors won't work.  They have the terminals at each end insteadof both at the bottom.  Just want to let you know...I accidentally ordered them and now have to find some somewhere else!

You want the radial type capacitors man. http://www.mouser.com/search/ProductDetail.aspx?R=140-HTRL16V1000-RCvirtualkey21980000virtualkey140-HTRL16V1000-RC That's what I have always ordered. I do not understand where I got that other number from?

Larry, we have the same problem with our Mits, funny thing - my brother in law also has the same problem, so I have my work cut out for me. Please email your instructions if possible, you are a real life saver!!

one more question, while in there, how do I clean the projections lenses? They have a smoky foggy look to them.

John, what is the model number you have and I need an e-mail address to send anything to you.

Chris, did I not send you that information already?

Model WS-65813. , email address is [email protected]. I thought that my email address would have come through with the message, sorry. I do have strong electronics repair background, just need the disassembly instructions to avoid damaging something. It looks like the main chasis sides out, but wires in back are too short to allow sliding out far enough without disconnecting some. Is that right?

Yes that is true, but all the wires are marked with letters on the plugs. Also you can disconnect a lot of the wires from the wire ties and holders. Look at each wire you disconnect and mark it someway you will recognize when you reassemble. Also when reassembling, make triple sure you reseat the DM board back into the main board. It is very easy to over look that and then the set will have the same blinking light problem.  I will get that information out to you in just a little bit. Good Luck
