Mitsu vs-5042 Works then picture goes out. Thumping works sometim

My mitsubishi vs-5042 comes on with picture and sound. The problem is the screen goes blank. A line of white and color will flash midway up and all across a few times then it will stay blank. I can thump it (sometimes very hard) on the left side and the line flashes with each thump and occasionally the picture pops back onto the screen. Audio works fine the whole time.

What is going on?

Thanks!

If you occasionally have a picture then you stand a good chance of repairing this tv. There are bad grounds on the deflection board. Start with the board that has the flyback. I do not know the year of your tv. Sometimes the same model may have an option improvement than one couple of months earlier. The first suspected problem would be the vertical IC. In some cases this ic is located on the convergence board and in others the flyback board. It has seven pins and is the TDA version. Located on a large heatsink. Resolder this and any other grounds on both board. Some will tell you the P I P board is bad. This is a free standing board that can be removed and replaced. But please do the earlier option first.

Mitsubichi VS 45609. When I turn the TV on sometimes it comes on and has beautiful picture and sound. Then after 1/2 or so it goes to a black screen. While on the black screen I am able to PIP it and see...

I have the same TV and what is happing is the TV has 2 recievers in it to allow the PIP, So you have a power pack gone on 1 reciever the other is working, Your set has 2 power packs,1 for each receiver.
I had both of mine go, 150$ a piece to have fixed, good luck.

TV works fine for 12-18 hrs. Then picture goes off

It seems that your unit has some sort of Thernmal problem or a problem that is shutting down the Power Supply section to the Video side of things.
You need to take the unit to a reputable service centre/man and ask for a firm "Quote" for the work to be done.

VS-5042 Sound but no picture

It is not bulb, are you talking about the tube ? At the neck of the tube you will see some connections.Carefully abserve if any cracks on the solderings(we call them DRY SOLDER), then connect them with soldering iron. Always make sure you have disconnected the TV from the mains. If the problem still persists, you will need to reffer to a qualified and Experienced person. He need to look for the LOT section(Auxiary power supply), video amplifier, CRT sections.
