Well, I was able to answer my own question from February 21 above.
I found two bad resistors (R8C21 and R8C22) on the convergence circuit. I replaced them and can now align the blue vertical. Beautiful picture.
With that final tweek, I can now claim to be one of the many who have successfully repaired their own Mitsubishi thanks to this forum.
I want to thank everyone who has helped me over the past three months. Larry Dillon, you are a saint. You have kept this thread (and others) going for a long time. Even while you battle your own medical issues. I will keep you in my prayers.
Sonny, thanks for the multiple emails and encouragement to keep after it. Speed, Slinteriors and everyone who has contributed posts about their Mitsubishi problems. I read and I learned. Thanks.
took the dm board out, looked up tv repair shops, took it there and Richard was very nice, $5 bucks later, I gave him $10, done. He chnaged 1 capacitor. worked like a charm.
Oh.. by the way, I got instructions from http://www.hometheaterspot.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/137881/
hope it helps someone else as it did me.
Looks like another WS-65819 bites the dust. The TV turned itself off after switching from cable to tuner inputs. Now the power light comes on for a couple of seconds and then the TV turns itself off.
Any chance that this is the same problem? If so, any chance of getting the info the other folks have requested?
crosstime gmail...
Also, is there any way to get a diagnostic code out of this beastie? The picture is wonderful and it has been a great TV so far. I just can't afford the $500 - $1000 service call I expect this will cost me.
I am having the same problem with the blinking timer light and the TV not going on. I have a Mitsubishi WD62725. Would those same instructions work for me? If so could you please e-mail then to me at [email protected]
I replaced the capacitors about two years ago and that fixed teh problem. Now I am having teh same problem but this time light still is blinking after replacing teh capacitors. Do you know what else can cause this issue?

Update: I tried the common lore found here and elsewhere with no luck. After a service call I was told there were two ICs related to convergence that had burned out (and a couple of fused, etc). About $150 in parts and over $400 in labor and service call charges.
I'm just hoping the TV will last once it gets repaired...
Hey Larry,
I have the same problem with my Mitsubishi WS-55859. If you happen to have the procedure or manual for my unit please send to [email protected]
I need this also is it still around.....and can you email me this also?????
Larry Dillon said: If you are handy, and can solder, you may be able to save about 700 bucks if not more. There is a very common problem with these Mitsubishi TV sets. There is a digital board inside these puppies called the DM board. A lot of times there are four capacitors that go bad inside of these TV sets. Sometimes, depending on how bad the capacitors are, and if the capacitors did not blow out anything else on the Dm board, you can simply replace these four capacitors and this will fix your TV set. The average that this works on is about 65 to 70 % of the sets can be repaired with this fix. The others are power supply issues or the DM board has other issues. If you would like to attempt to repair your TV set, I will send you the instructions on how to do so. If you do not know how to solder well, do not attempt to replace the capacitors yourself. Pay a pro to do this for you. After all you are already saving a bundle of cash. Leave an e-mail address, and I will forward you the fix with and without the light engine. And if the capacitors inside the board are not swollen on the tops, as the direction shows you what they look like, the capacitors are most likely not your problem.
I have the same problem with my Mitsubishi Medallion HDTV 1080 . The green light is flashing and it wont turn on . I have tried resetting , unplugging and even hitting the " imput " button , but nothing has worked . The model # is WS-48613 . If possible can you send me the manual too .
Thank you !! [email protected]

Hello Larry,
I have the Mitsubishi WS48513 Projection TV with the green blinking light of death. Few previous times, I unplugged it and it will come back to normal. This time we lost power and it keeps blinking. Sorry I didn't include the model of the TV in my previous post to you. Can you please suggest how to fix this problem? I can be emailed at [email protected]
I have a Mitsubishi 50fx19k
My set started making a different click when powered on for a couple of days. The it wouldn't power up at all. I checked for blown fuses on the main PCB but all look good. When plugged in you can see a red LED lit in the area of the power supply circuitry.
I can't afford to pay $400-$450 to have it repaired bvut do have a soldering iron and solder sucker.

I have a Mitsubishi WS-55909. Last night it shut itself off. It will not power back on. I have tried system reset and unplugging it with no avail. When the power button is pressed, the green light turns on and it clicks then about 2 second later clicks again and the green light turns off. It sounds like the DM cap problem that you have talked about. If so can you send directions on how to fix it? Thank you very much. [email protected]

Hi Larry.....
I have the same nasty "blinking green light" issue. I have the Mitsu model# WS-55859. My husband should be able to repair this problem. Could you please email me the repair info and also, where does one purchase the DM Board??? My email addy is: [email protected]
Thanks so much for your time, as I imagine this is getting old to you....
My brother wants to trash it, but I told him I did alittle research and I think we can fix it. I think I have the dreaded convergence problem. Bowtie...colors... all out of sorts. Can you please email me any help you can give me. I really do not want to spend for a repair man to come. I have a friend who has dealt with soldering and tvs. Please can you email me what to get, where to buy, and how to do. I really would appreciate it.

That model does not ring any bells for mitsubishi, it sounds more likan Hitachi model number?
This sounds like a very common fault with these sets. Convergence IC's are bad?
What is the IC'S number of the Convergence that or probly bad
what is the Hitachi Model number ,short term memory real bad these days, I will see if I have it and an e=mail also.
