Two thoughts:
First is this is a DLP set and the lamp may have failed
Second is it should have the self check which reads error codes---most of these sets that is the same:
" After you turn on the set, and get the regular red blinky lights, hold down the Device and Menu buttons together for about 5 seconds.
(then release both)
The Power light will start to
flash in a two digit sequence.
For example, 3 flashes, then 7 flashes = 37.
Here are the error codes, and the corresponding problem:
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 and Engine disconnected
This is for a earlier Mitsubishi DLP but should be the same as your set as Mitsubishi rarely changes things like this.
If you get the lamp abnormal it is likely your problem.
The DVI Cable has been changed to a working cable (I validated this with my computer). Do you have any other suggestions? I am afraid that it is a light engine failure. Is there any checks I can do to confirm whether the light engine is still working or not?
I have the service manual, but from what I see, it only discusses how to change parts out. I have some of the wiring diagrams, but I don't know what voltages need to be verified. If you know the voltages to be verified could you please post.
I am hoping this isn't a light engine and would really like to make sure.
Is there a way to test the light engine independent of the TV itself?
