When it shuts off and the green power light goes off, press both the menu and input buttons on the front of the set (not the remote) and hold both for about five seconds and release.
Power light will blink a two digit error code like 2 blinks and then 3 blinks and repeat it several times.
What is the error code?
It means no error found, if you had unplugged the set it clears the error buffer, if so plug in and try to turn set on again and perform test again.
2,2 is short protection--98% chance one of the pico fuses that protect the convergence circuit are blown, depending on actual model number set uses either or or two chips---pretty straight forward repair---parts cost under 25 dollars, and I happen to have start to finish instructions for this repair in most Mitsubishi models.
As for the instructions I have them (they are from a friend who has repaired as I have hundreds of these sets) Give me a email address and I will forward them to you--if posted here others will copy them for free.
Best place for the parts is Suburban Electronics---they have internet catalog and the instructions tell you what you will need------if the model is WS-55819 IT WILL USE TWO of the stk-392-570 chips and I have photos of the board--if 2,2 there are also two pico fuses and one or both are bad as well.
Once you get the instructions you will know if you can do the repair.
They are very detailed.
