Tv wont boot up

Try a reset. Start by unplugging for 1 minute, then plug back in & if still won't restart try the following. If none of the following work, you will need a technician.

Initializing the TV in many cases can remedy a problem.
In the 2006 product line Initialization is now a user function.
Pressing the front panel "INPUT' and "FORMAT"
buttons at the same time activates Initialization. When
complete all user settings will have to be set again. The
table in Figure 4-3 list the User Initialization procedures.
Note: Pressing INPUT and FORMAT is the same as
the Initialization in the Option Menu (MENU-2-4-7-0)

The chances of the ballast failing are small on this model. Count how many times the Yellow light flashes before it pauses. Then google 57HM167 and the amount of blinks. ie " 57HM167 Yellow light flashes 3 times" That will tell you what you need to know. You can also post it here and we can help. I suspect you have a stuck fan(the fans are monitored to see if they are spinning. If not, they will not allow the TV to start up). Or you have the cover for the lamp not installed all the way. There is a switch that the lamp cover activates and the the TV will not turn on without it secured.

Hi,

Here is a whole list for you :

Mitsubishi Blinking Codes :

Constant Green - TV is Powered On
Constant Red - Lamp Failure
Constant Yellow - DMD temp is very high
Blinking Yellow - Lamp cover is open
1 Red Blink, 6 Yellow Blinks - Color Wheel Failure
3 Red Blinks, 4 Yellow Blinks - Lamp Failure
3 Red Blinks, 6 Yellow Blinks - Exhaust Fan Not Working
3 Red Blinks, 7 Yellow Blinks - DMD Fan is not rotating
5 Red Blinks, 7 Yellow Blinks - Ballast Problem
6 Red Blinks, 6 Yellow Blinks - Lamp Missing, Bad Cable between lamp and ballast

And the Lamp cover must be here somewhere in your TV :


For more you can refer to the below link :
Mitsubishi DLP TV Blinking Code Errors Explained Overview of Each...

If you are seeing the yellow light blinking 3 times repeated over and over the boot data is corrupted. Download the firmware update(link below)from Toshiba and unzip the files and folders,copy the unzipped files & folders to a SD card (like a camera uses,I used a 2 gig). Unplug the tv and insert the card into the slot hidden behind the cover above the HDMI inputs. Plug in the tv and watch the yellow blinking stop and a solid blue will light when done. Unplug the tv, remove the card,plug in the tv and all will be good. You could now install the update per it's instructions.

CK the Lamp Fan if it stops running Lamp will not light and if thats ok Ballast Board it is what turns Lamp on!

If the standby light blinks upto 3 times then the issue may be related with the LAMP.

If the Standby light blinks more than three times then the TV requires service to diagnose the issue.

Provide the Model # of the TV so that we can provide the exact solution.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check that the lamp door is closed all the way. There is a saftey switch that closes from the door being on all the way. If not the status light will keep blinking. There is also a switch on the air filter door.

unfortunately I don't have any solutions for you. I have just started to have the same problem and have only replaced the lamp. i was going to move on to the ballast but wouldn't want to if it going to be a waste of time. Did you ever find any way to resolve the prolem?

I looked up the manual online - after you replace the bulb, you need to reset the bulb life timer. Using the TV remote push the menu button, SETUP menu, select the lamp reminder option to reset the hours to zero. That might help the status indicators.

cutta, you will most often hear a click on boot then the fans start up and lamp will then fire. The picture will start to show up....at what point does it shut off? and do you hear a click when the tv is turning off? Is it the complete tv shutting down, fans and everything that turns off? Do you see any lights on the the front panel "POWER", "STATUS" or "LAMP", what are they doing? If you see a Power, Status or Lamp light after it shuts off the below are what they mean if there is an issue. POWER - STATUS - LAMP - CONDITION/ISSUE: Off - Yellow - Off - Temp. high/dirty filter/excess room temp Off - Off - Yellow - 4000 hrs. Lamp usage warning Off - Off - Blink Yellow - Lamp Cover open Off - Blink Yellow - Off - Air Filter Cover open Off - Off - Red - Lamp failure (failed to turn On or broken) Off - Blink Red - Off - Fan Has Stopped Off - Red - Off - Circuit failure (short) or DVI cable disconnected If you want to check for the last "Error Code", after you first turn the TV on, by pressing the front panel ?DEVICE? and ?MENU? buttons at the same time and holding them for 5 seconds, it activates the Error Code Mode. The ?Power LED Light? blinks/flashes (1/2 sec delay) and then flashes again denoting a two digit Error Code indicating no problem or an error has occured since the last Initalization. i.e. "Power light" blinks 3 times (1/2 second delay) and then blinks 4 times then 1 sec delay and repeats a few times. This would mean "Error 34 - Lamp abnormality". See below for error codes..... Error Code - Description or issue 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 & Engine disconnected. Sorry for the long answer but it was an open ended question.
