Mitsubishi cs-26ex1 tv has no picture ,but there is sound. i can get the menu to come up and see the menu just fine. is there any way to fix the picture, like do i need to reset the tv and if so how do i reset tv? please help I have no picture but I have horizontal blue lines for some time then lines disappear and sound is perfectly fine. Please let me know the solution. Thanks SK

SEE IF YOU CAN UNPLUG IT THEN PLUG IT BACK IN

are you using a cable box?. tried to reset it.

THE PIP MODULES GO BAD IN THESE SETS. THEY PLUG IN AND ARE EASY TO CHANGE AND EVEN CHEAPER IS THE PIP BYPASS MODULE. IT ELIMINATES PIP AND PLUGS INTO THE SAME SPOT

well first lets narrow this down so the tv is already holding a code you will need the old code to re-enter a new 1 okay if the code is known you may be able to set with the menu button goto pc option try to use the channel up and down and volume see if this will help now lost remote may try a universal remote make sure it has the menu option on it ,also when entering code numbers some have over 5 or so codes okay the tv may respond to 1 code but not let you use the menu so try each code also if you cant remember the code its not to good you will have probally no choice to take to tv shop okay good luck shad

I found this in another website... i hope this can help you. I'll try too...

Found this on the web, hope it helps.

If the picture looked good last night

Power suply . I think there great tvs.
Made to last .a fair price for repair
is about 80.00-100.00

have a Mitsubishi TV 1993. Model CS-35301. The problem is that there is a white line that is running through a blank screen. The sound is fine just no picture. Have you heard of "Vertical Collapse?" I would love to save the TV. Hi nothing to worry just minimise brightness to avoid screen burn. "Vertical Collapse?" means one bright hor.line in the middle of screen. this problem can be solved 1 check vertical yoke connector or wire loose 2 check supply to vertical section which normally comes from EHT transformer check components in vertical section or print loose regards thanks

If your set has Picture in Picture, I would say your problem is with the PIP module. if it does not have PIP then the problem is most likly in the video switching or the video processor Printed circuit board. if you know anything about solid stae serviceing, there is a modification I will include here for the PIP as the module is no longer available and has to be jumped out of the curcuit.. Good Luck. Follow the picture and instuctions to the "T" PS please do not forget to rate this thread

your problem is the PIP board,tough to repair,can be taken out and replaced with two 10 mfd caps 50v bipolar from pin5 to 11 and from pin 7 to 9
