The WS is a picture tube type rear projection first produced as a 2003 model year set.A few questions and then a offer if needed.Did this happen suddenly or after a power loss?By reboot do you mean the recessed reset button on the front of the set?I will presume if you turn color off completely the screen is some other color than black and white?the offer: have you tried the Option menu this set has hidden, I can explain if needed.

replace the converge ic's

try to reset press menu 123 enter if not sounds like a engine big bucks.

you must test the power supply inside. See if the fan is working, and thermostat is ok. test it.God bless you

I have the exact same problem.
TV was working fine (if you call having to deal with blinking lights of death and multiple starrt up errors...) - but I powered through it all.
This TV is 6 years old and started acting up after the 4-year extended warranty ran out.
This morning I went to turn it on and nothing.
Hmmm... Got my manual to count the blinking light code...
Whoops. No lights. Nothing. Checked plug. Checked power.
Uninstalled and installed lamp. Checked plug and power again.
Nothing.
Not one stinking light. No power to fan. Nothing.

How does a TV just DIE???

there's a blue switch that needs to be actuated when you put the 2 lamp covers on.

You're asking the way to access the ballast board, I assumes and posts this solution. You have to disassemble the set. If you wish to get more details, check this site. Pull up older posts there.

The lamp cover is not installed properly or the lamp door switch isnt working thats what causes the 32 error.

The DM is the second board inside the Chassis block directly underneath the FMT board. But replacement DM boards if still good are very expensive your better off replacing the 4 capacitors that fail on the DM.

Thats one of the famous capacitor issue most likely. Thats the V26 Chassis DLP and usually that symptom is caused by failed DM and Power Board capacitors. There is a repair kit that will work in alot of cases with that symptom. Its called The V26 Chassis DM / Power repair kit available at the following link with detailed instructions http://tvrepairworld.com/mitsubishi_repair_kits

Its more likely that the front and rear mirrors need to be cleaned. The mirrors tend t get dull and that will cause the picture to become dull and the colors wont appear as vibrant as normal.

the capictor problem is mostly for WS models
you can locate the dm model from this link

Here's something that might also be useful. After you turn on the set, and get the regular red blinky lights, hold down the Device and Menu buttons together for about 5 seconds.
The Power light will start to flash in a two digit sequence.

For example, 3 flashes, then 7 flashes = 37.

Here are the error codes, and the corresponding problem:

12 = No error detected, check power supply.
32 = Lamp Cover is open.
33 = Air filter cover is open.
34 = Lamp abnormality
36 = Light Engine (DMD or Lamp Fan stopped)
37 = Exhaust or Lamp Ballast Fan stopped
38 = Lamp Temperature High
39 = DMD Temperature High
41 = Short is detected
44 = DVI cable between FMT and Engine disconnected
