Yes, it could be the mirrors or the engine but the first and most cost effective thing to do is to replace the lamp as Mitsubishi has suggested. Your set is five years old and it's due for a lamp replacement anyway and if you call a tech out to come fix it, they are going to charge you for the trip, the time and the lamp (double the retail of what Mitsubishi will charge, by the way) when you can just replace it yourself for $100 from Mitsubishi. Even if it's something wrong with the mirrors and engine, the repair service is going to change the lamp as well and charge you for it.
You can order replacement lamps through Mitsubishi's website or if you need it overnight call them and they'll charge you an extra $50 for that. Do not buy a lamp from an after-market, third party vendor. They are far more expensive, they usually don't come with the cartridge and they are not as good as the OEM from Mitsubishi.

After turning tv off two small white dots appear on the screen mitsubishi 837 dlp

Hello, contact Mitsubishi, they are sending out the chip at no charge to repair the problem, but they do not include the labor. if you are handy, there is a video on how to do it, otherwise when you receive the part contact a repairman. If they know what their doing, they should be able to do it there for around $100-$135.....tks

52 mitsubishi has small white dots of light that dont go away on most of the screen

Mitsubishi is replacing these DMD IC chips nationwide under an unannounced kind of recall for model #'s WD60C9, WD73733, WD57734, WDY657, WD73734, WD65735, WD60735, WD65C9, WD73840, WD65833, WD65733, WD73735, WD73833, WD57733, WD65734 and others. Call them @ 800-332-2119 and give them your model, serial # and date of purchase, tell them you have the white spots, they will set up a workorder with a local Mitsubishi servicer to come to your home and replace the DMD chip. Mitsubishi will supply the part (part # 276P595010) for free, but you must pay $200 in labor. BUT...if you ask for Shantell Hebert when you call Mitsubishi, and really push the issue, she will also pay half of the $200 labor fee, so you go from $400 to repair to only $100. Once that chip is replaced, the unit works great again!!
