I have a Mitsubishi WS-55313 55 in. Rear Projection HDTV. My problem is, the picture suddenly goes to a black screen, while the audio remains. When I turn the TV off, and then back on, I may or may not get a picture again, and if I do, it goes black after a short time again. Do you have a soluton? is it possibly the lamp? If so which lamp do I need? and can I replace ot my self? Thanks in advance,

Rear projection TVs are dinosaurs. Sell it if you can get anybody to buy it and get an HDtv they're pretty cheap now not to mention thinner, lighter and better for your eyes. Imagine the space you'll save if you mount it on the wall and the cost of electricity. Not trying to be a jerk but it's time to move into the 21st century. The picture is waaaaay better.

The WS is a picture tube type rear projection first produced as a 2003 model year set.

A few questions and then a offer if needed.

Did this happen suddenly or after a power loss?

By reboot do you mean the recessed reset button on the front of the set?

I will presume if you turn color off completely the screen is some other color than black and white?

the offer: have you tried the Option menu this set has hidden, I can explain if needed.

there is a 9 mvolt regulator on the signal board right behind the input board. that could need resoldering or maybe replacing it should be the IC9A05

hold down the menu and input buttons after it shuts off it will flash with a code. call tv repair place and they can tell you what code means.

Sounds like the CRTs are going into protective blanking due to the vertical output ic needing to be resolderd. Try resoldering the vertical IC that may possibly fix the issue.

does your audio still work when your picture goes out,,,,if it does try resoldering your vertical output IC

misubishi, ws55513, clear screen cover, diffuser screen, need some leads as to where to get them

Could this be CC or Closed Caption set on Text? Try turning off

Sounds Like Bad Tuner,Try Running Audio Video Jacks in,Also Replace your Cable wires ttech

Go into the menu and see if your closed captions are on and set to "TEXT". Setting the closed captions to "OFF" should solve your problem.
