Need Help with Mitsubishi WD-62725
Posted: Sat Feb 16, 2008 9:17 am
My Mitsubishi WD-62725 went out mo me the other day. I am not sure what the problem is, but here are the symptoms.
The television was turned on and my wife said the picture was grainy and wavy. ( I was not home to witness this.) She said the picture looked like it does when the satellite feed is screwed up during a rain storm. This is just the first part of the story.
I came home and tried looking at the televisoin. The dcreen was now blue and there was no input from the satelitte dish or from the DVD player when I switched to it. All of the menu items looked fine, but there was no input.
I tried the reset, but hung up for 5 minutes or so. When I turned the tv back on it would start up, fans would spin and after about 30 seconds I would get the solid red lamp light.
I just replaced the lamp 7 months ago, so I would hope it would last longer than that. I took the lamp cover off and watched it when I turned the tv on again. The lamp would light for about ten seconds, no picture on hte screen, and then go out and I would get the red lamp light again. I did the code check and it came up with #34.
I am trying to figure out what exactly is the problem. If the lamp comes on, is it still bad. I have read in other forums it could be the lamp ballast, dm board, power supply, fuses, etc. Also, do I have 2 problems , or just one?
The tv is out of warranty and calling a service tech seems like a huge waste of money after reading some of the horror stories on here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
