20 Most Recent Mitsubishi WS-55311 55" Rear Projection Television - Page 3 Questions & Answers

Howdy,
Your TV does not have a HDMI input.

Sorry, Big IRISH.

Hello. your TV is part of the silver series http://www.scheerhomesystems.com/products/mitsubishi/home_theater_hdtv_televisions/hdtv_upgradeable/mitsubishi_silver_hdtv_projection_televisions.htm
AND it does have HD capability. Regards, Joe

Have you tried the hard reset that this set has?

If you are not getting picture on any input including antenna a and b--it is a real problem--If you want to know how to try the reset let me know.

USUALLY THE RESET WILL HELP IF THE PROBLEM HAPPENED AFTER A POWER LOSS....



if this helps you rate this solution as I do this here for free.

You need a convergence repair kit. You can get one at www.tvrepairworld.com

I am thinking that you have a Mitsubishi WS-55311. If this is the case, you will need a converter box to receive digital television signals.

I hope that this helps you resolve your issue.

You can probably purchase a smilar set on Craig's list for $300.00, at least that's what they go for in the Austin Texas area.
A new tube may be too expensive and difficult to replace.

These sets use pico fuses ---a 2-2 code usually means one of the convergence chips is shorted and has taken one or both pico fuses out that protect the chips--set detects no voltage and shuts set down instantly--this model uses 2 STK-394-250 CHIPS---I can send you a photo of what the fuses look like--if you find either or both bad--you need to replace the chips--if you just replace the fuse(s) it will just do more damage.

They are not glass fuses--the set you have is a V22 chassis and the chips are location numbers: IC8C01 AND IC8CO2.

Apparently I did not have the correct remote to go with this television. The remote I had was a Mitsubishi, but I was able to obtain one that had the 'format' button.

You might have a bad power supply or convergence circuit, I also suggest you to check for fluid spill on the circuit board. if the convergence is defective one of the 5A picofues on the power supply is open. Hope this help you.

The convergence ICs have failed and thats what is shutting the set down. You will need to replace both convergence ICs they are STK394-250 you can get replacement ICs at the following link with free shipping and free instalation instructions with pictures s you can do the repair yourself. Here is the link.

If I remember correctly, this TV has a couple of constraints that will cramp your style:

1. It supports 480i, 480p and 1080i. NO 720P
2. It has component video inputs, but NO HDMI. (as you stated)

There is no easy solution here, because I've never found an upconverting DVD player that would upconvert anything past 480p using the analog component outputs...

So..

Perhaps you can find an Upconverting BLU-RAY disk player that may allow older DVDs to be upconverted to 1080i via the component outputs.

MOST Blu-Ray players allow 1080i output via the analog connections on Blu-Ray discs, so perhaps there is your solution.

First suggestion is to unplug your unit for 24 hours, if does not correct your concerns, you may have fluid leakage from the tubes onto the pc boards. Make sure you have proper air venting around the tv. If problem persist call factory authorized dealer in your area. good luck

First of all your system, tv, must be able to perform your request, Secondly, your service must be able to provide the 1080i or 1080p, not all service's provide the service with the equipment they provided you (your box). Check with your provider.

Before you replace a board, please double check or use different cables, make sure the cables are in the proper out/inputs, rgb to rgb. Try 'comp' 2. Composite vs component uses two different paths to produce a picture. Also, after taking tv's back off ensure that all boards are seated properly, since this happened after movement. CAUTION: make sure the unit is poweless, unplug tv. Let me know. Good luck....

1. turn your tv on with remote control
2. go to menu select front button lock
3. select off to restore the operations of the front panel operations
4. the front panel lock is a feature that lets you disable the front panel to prevent children from changing settings by accident
5. if this doesnt work i would suggest contacting a service repair tech.

Like your computer a tv has the same type of circuits, & sometimes they get glitches, maybe, but i feel you might be starting to have a problem in the 'DMD" board in your tv. Maybe not; unplug tv for 10 min to 24 hrs. I am a mit factory auth tech. good luck,.

When your tv shows a blue screen it not getting a signal!! In your mit's you have to go into the customer menu and turn on the input/device. The device control is on the remote, click over to input and activate (enter). Also, look into owners manual, the customer service at mit's will step you through it if you wish. Note: put cables into comp 1 (eg), make sure colored cables are correctly inserted, and audio. (red, blue, green) red/white; audio.

check the error codes to see what's wrong, do this by search threads here or at ctechnicians.com

First thing to try is to press the reset button on the front of the TV. This forces a system reset.

The lamp is not enabled possibly due to the colour wheel motor not turning. Any broken glass jamming it? Or the lamp ballast has failed due to an old/worn lamp.
