Mitsubishi ws65809 white ribbon cables - Mitsubishi WS-65807 65" Rear Projection Television

Likely you either forgot to reattach your color wheel ribbon connector, or have it on upside down. It's the tiny ribbon cable behind your circuit board that will come off as you pull the board away from the DLP chip.

Fuses in the ws65809 are identified by a location number printed top and bottom on the board---need a link for the full service manual for this TV?

What exactly is problem and such.

Thats almost always caused by failed DM capacitors. You can get the WS55809 - WS65809 DM repair kit from www.tvrepairworld.com which has the caps and the CD with repair instructions

All TV have boards that control vertical and horizontal output to their respective areas. They are connected to the screen by ribbon cables.

If one of these boards fails all together, has a failed chip, a bad connection, or a bad ground somewhere it will result in a black line in the area of that board. A bad ribbon cable connection on the bottom will result in a vertical black bar though the screen.

Many times resetting the connection will fix it, if the ribbon cable has been nicked there could be a severed connection. They an sometimes be fixed, but it is a pain. An yes I have done it, but the bar is gone. The same will happen if the chip that outputs to that area opens.

The connectors are the first place to look paying close attention to the cable, they are extremely delicate so great care must be taken if you decide to tinker with em, the usually have lift locks that release them.

Good luck.

All these sets do have a hard reset---not the reset button on the front of the set---it will return the set to the factory original condition it was when new in the box--it will not affect the convergence as that is stored in a separate unit--the DCU (digital convergence unit).

It is accessed with an original MITSUBISHI remote.

You can try it if you want:

ACCESS CODE FOR WS65809 IS:

menu-0,1,7,0 enter

There are 3 hidden menus in the set--this is the Option menu

You will see either reset or option etc and highlight it with the remote and hit enter. Set will shut off and should come back on channel three in the air band--any labels you placed on inputs will be gone and set will be in air band--you will if on cable have to change it to cable band and auto program etc.

Let me know what happens and if you have questions I am here to help.

Good Day, TRAVLINMAN80;
Sorry for the late response but have been dealing with IKE down here in TX. I think the problem your TV is Fluid. Good Luck, big IRISH.

Good Day, GLENN;
I assume that IHVT was arcing from the side, and the audio is from the TV and not stereo? Or was it the high voltage splitter? Was it plug in or soldered IN? It sounds like you may have bridged a solder joint, unplugged something by accident or something else? Double check your work first of all. Do you still get high voltage? You may poor part. Good Luck, big IRISH.

try unplugging tv for 30 minutes remove all speaker away from tv and anything magnetic after 30 mins turn back on try that
