I posted on another thread and have searched without a real indication of this problem or a solution...
My set had the blinking green light about three years ago. I purchased caps from digikey and replaced them. The set has been fine until recently. I'm pretty much always in 1080i with Direct TV and the set started changing it's video mode from 1080i Standard to 1080i Wide Expand and back and forth so much that it's entirely unwatchable. At times when it was changing modes, the set would not respond to the remote and had to be either reset or unplugged to get it to respond to the remote. The week before the NFL conference championship games, it was too much and I got a new set.
Flash forward to the present (sorry I'm a Lost fan):
My 65613 has been in the garage since then and with an antenna, it seems fine at 1080i with broadcast tv and with an upscaling DVD player. I haven't spent hours watching it, so I don't know that it "fixed" itself. (I really doubt it.) I'd like to sell the set and get it out of the garage, but would be better prepared if I knew more about the issue I was having.
My questions are:
- Has anyone seen this behavior with their Mitsubishi?
- Is this the DM module causing the issue?
- Does it make sense to order the kits from tvrepairkits.com and replace them anyway?
Sounds like the format button switch is stuck, try cleaning the front panel buttons with a can of compressed air.
