Hi larry I was wondering if you or anyone else has a parts manual for the wd 52525 I am trying to find the gold ribbon cable that connects the 2 boards, unless anyone has one they are not using. my email is [email protected] thanks
PS I already replaced the 4 on the fmt board along with the other 10 that usually go bad but the ribbon has a tear in it so I think it might be that
Mike221
Where is located? Is it on top of the fmt board? Also check the gray wire going from the light engine to the power board. It may be cut or rubbing on the chassis. As for parts good luck. I tried when I replaced the fmt board. Had to buy a used one.
I have replaced the lamp on my WD-52725 (I know that it needed the replacement as the filament was broken on the old one). After installing the new one, replacing the cover, and resetting my set - all I get is a blinking green LED. You seem to know what the problem is - I have read on the web that it might be burned capacitors on the DM board. Do you have instructions for locating, removing, and replacing capacitors on that board?

Larry,
Hope your health is improving and keep fighting. Can you or someone here please send me the repair guide for the blinking green light of death?
My email is [email protected]
I have repaired the power board to no avail. Swapped the power board with another without luck. So I have all the other boards removed and its time to go on the hunt for the other dead bugs.
Hi there,
I replaced the 8 caps on DM and FMT boards, the blinking green light stop, but there is a new red light come up on Status. I tested the power supply board. I can't get power on 3.3V PA port others are find. Does anyone know what I should replace on power supply board in order to get 3.3V PA port works.
Million thanks,
Pijiu
I have as well a WD-52525 and am going to attempt to remove the DM board and check the capacitors. Can you send me any service manuals and info you have on this set please. [email protected] Thanks much!!
I too have the blinking green light. I have a WD-52525, can someone please send me any sevice manuals they have on this TV. I am going to attempt to remove and repair the DM board. Any info and service manuals or pics would be great. Thanks, Miguel [email protected]

Did you rep-lace the two 3300uf caps and the four 1000uf on the front power board? I dont think the 3.3v comes on until it boots up. I had the red light once but I cant remember what I did to fix it.
Larry, can you send me the repair instructions....I already have one of the boards out. I want to make sure I fix all the ones I need to, with the right sizes, the first go around. Do I need a sodder sucker? Special Sodder? Do I need to be cautious of the heat and the board? [email protected]
I have a Mitsu WD-52525 and my tv wont display video and turns off after about 20 seconds. The lamp indicator light comes on and I get error 34. So after I change the lamp I still get the same error? can some one tell me if I need to replace capatitors or what? would the bad capasitors be on the DM board or the optical engine? if you have any info on how to do this please send it to [email protected]
I'm have the same issue with my WD-52725. If someone can send me the manual for that or the WD-52525 that'd be great. I think they are basically the same.
How easy is it to repair this Green blinking timer light thing?
I need some help, should I just pay for a repairman or is there some
tricks to try before...?
Just for everyones record if you need the wide ribbon cable you can get it from http://www.digikey.com/ and the part number is HFF-50U-04-ND hope this helps.

Linda it is not that hard but does take time and patience, I can walk you through it if you like, my direct email is [email protected]
Hello I am having the blinking green light problem with the WD-52525. Could someone please e-mail me the repair documents. I would greatly appreciate it..please [email protected]
Just a word of thanks to Larry Dillon for his documentations and to several Techlore members (Tony G., et al) for their expert advise. Was able to get my WD-52525 back up and running over the holidays and it has be running great ever since.
I had the rapid green blinking light which I could not get to reset. Tore the unit apart and found 11 swollen 1000uF caps on 4 boards (FMT, DM, Power, Termninal 2). Replaced the 11 caps and re-connected boards/cables in the TV, but still had the blinking green lighs.
I then pulled the 4-wire FC connectore off the FMT board and plugged the TV to AC outlet. After 1 minute the green blinking light went out and I re-connected the FC connector back on the FMT board. Was able to turn on the TV and my inputs (cable coax, DTV input, components) were all working. I can turn the TV on/off/on using the remote or from the TV front panel.
If I lose power to the TV (i.e. unplug it from AC), the continous green light problem comes back and I have to do the trick with the FC connector again.
As suggested by earlier Techlore postings, I cut the Orange wire (6VS line) on the FC connector and spliced in a small on/off toggle switch with about 3 feet of wire. Routed the toggle switch and wire to the front of the TV and taped it behind the gray speaker grill. The toggle switch was small enough to lay flat behind the front grill.
So far the TV has been working great as long as there is no power interruptions. Should I experience a power glitch and the blinking green light reoccurs, my steps to get the TV back up is:
- Turn AC off
- Pull grill off and set toggle swith to off
- Turn AC on and wait 1 minute for green blinking light stop
- Set toggle switch to on and place grill back on the TV
- Turn on TV with remote or from front panel
I have put together a combonation word document of several posts that helped me remove and install my caps and ribbon without the service manual if anyone would like it just email me with "request MITS" in subject line thanks Mike
Jim glad to hear you fixed it. I ran the wire through the front door way but anyway will do.
Mike221
What did you find with the cartoonish picture? Thanks for the links also. My tv been working so so. Just the few times with shut offs on its own. I sits in the basement now. $3500 for a cat to watch tv or when we partys.
I want to put this out there for all. I did find some information that there is a software update 4.06. I tried to call Mitsushitii but they will not send it to me because I fixed my tv and did not send it out( there words). Also she stated( I think, she didn't speak english to good) That its for only certain conditions. My tv is 4.01. That 5 software upgrades!!!!! Nice company. If anyone out there knows how to download it let me know. I know its programmed through the sd card slot. So the information will have to be programmed to a sd card.. I got about 10 of these cards. Anyway let me know

After replacing the caps, I got the TV to boot up. But it does have a quirk. If I plug in the power cold (several minutes without power), it will give continuous blinking green light for ever. I need to unplug it for several seconds and plug it in for a second time, then it will have a successful boot.
Could this simulate the interrupting power to the FMT board as reported by Jim George?
BTY, I am still not getting video. But I suspect it's a bad lamp or ballast. No time to debug this yet. There is no easy way to test if the lamp is good or bad as it works by ionizing mercury vapor. I read some OSRAM doc that basically said that the ballast need to kick start the lamp by zapping it with several thousand volts. After that, the normal operation is only several hunderd volts. This explains the high voltage protection of the lamp wires. It's kind of like the spark plugs of automobile.
Anyone has a used working lamp that can give/sell me for cheap? I don't want to buy a brand new lamp to find a bad ballast and ends up with two good lamps.
Thanks tony I got mine to come on without the green light but still have the cartoonish fuzzy pic, how much to replace fmt board? thanks
I found one on eBay the chassis was $30 bit had the blinking green light problem
there aare two to four caps that are bad on the fmt boardI think I will look for the pic.an e-mail address will get you the pic's if you wish!
Larry,
Can I be the 8 millionth person to ask for repair info on my TV?
I have the WD62525 with the wonderful green blinking light.
My email address is [email protected].
You are wonderful for helping so many people out with this info. THANK YOU!!!!

Oh.. no...
Apparently while removing the shield, it seems I damaged the FA flex connector. Is there a replacement source anyone is aware of?
Yes it is.
I'm have the same issue with my WD-52725. If someone can send me the manual for that or the WD-52525 that'd be great. I think they are basically the same.

I have not had any luck getting to the cards in my WD-52725. The casings are very restricting. Please let me know if you have sucessfully found a way.
Thanks.

The Cartoonish picture was caused by a bad cable ribbon the Fb or Fa the gold colored one. I hope your cat appreciates it lol.
