Mitsubishi WS-65809 65" Rear Projection Television - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Set the unit to DTV input (this uses YG,PyR,PbB) . then in customer menu go to advance features, SD video format & change from 480i to 1080i. There is no 1080p

What you need to do to test the chips is check the fuse for each of them. Fa 4 and fa5 I believe. If the fuses are open the chips are shorted or drawing excessive current.
If you had been viewing lines on your screen for awhile this is the next level of that problem.
If the fuses are open ,your getting a code flashing on your TV and it's not turning on.

Those chips have to both be replaced even if your just at the lines through the picture stage of the problem.
High skill level required or lots of guts and even more patience.

You con't need to buy anything other than a HD satellite or cable box. A television can either handle HD or not.  The high definition sets are monitors that are capable of handing an input of up to 1080i. 
Quick and dirty. Look in the back for blue, green, red cable input sockets. There should be matching cable outs. from your cable or satellite box. get a set of  component video cables, plug them in. Determine the audio type, where RCA jacks, Toslink fiberoptic or a component cable sock. In the latter you use a cable much like a yellow video. You can get away with using a yellow video cable if need be. Now, below more specifics if needed.

No, you don't want to by the add-on from Mitsubishi.  I am assuming you have a 16-9 wide format box  
If you have a squarish box, i.e. 4:3 ratio. forget it. I don't know if any wree made for HD, but unlikely.  If you'd given me the model number could be a little more definitive. If you have a manual, it will tell you whether you can go HDTV.  
Take a look in the rear of the set and look at  the connection holes. You should have at least one set of inputs, marked in some way with the Red, Green and Blue just on the inside of the cable hole. Those are tomponent cables pops that allow you to do high definition television. These cables are video only.; Sound is a second separate question. 
There are usually some other assorted things back there, including off air tele.and maybe another kind of connecter.. Some of these might be useful if you have games etc. that attach directly to the set. In any event, those component cables say that you can  do HDTV. (NB: 
The Direct TV  HD box should have component cable outputs. You can do this directly from the DiTV box to the set. You would also need a separate Audio Cable(s). Your set should have either a toslink fiberoptic hookup and/or a component audio cable. There's no inherent advantage between those two. If you have an old video cable (yellow) than you can substitute that. 
You should now have HDTV and high quality sound through the set. You will probably have to set up the inputs and other stuff with the.remote. It's pretty logical. If you have used input x for bringing in the video, just match it up.and your on your way. 
If you are going to confuse things by trying to connect another piece of gear, e.g. dvd box, you would go to inputs two. If you have the second set of component input, then hook an HD player to it. In this setup, you adjust the sound on the set according to how it works. I assume the DTV audiio can be controlled directly just as a cable box.  -- Here's what's going on. For several years Mitsubishi built higher end televisions without tuners or slots for cable (or satellite). But they were HD capable (as I said, not all). At the time, there was no HD that mattered and not even much of a standard for it. Some wanted 729p, others wanted 1080i The advantage for 720p over 1080i was supposedly the improved movement capture. 720p isn't dead, but it's not a problem. 
You will need to set the menu on the television (using the remote) so that it says 1080i. It does not do 1080p, the newer high standard. It only has two other settings of consequence, 480i and 480p. Put it on 1080i and leave it alone. The 480i and the 480P will be on auto pilot if you have an older DVD players. If there is a high definition signal at fewer than 1080, it will be upconverted to 1080i.. 
The set will handle any signal you send it like that. You probably have an HDMI  out from your dtv or cable box. The set does not have HDMI (unless on a later model). The DTV box should have both of them. That's a simpler wiring setup that allows 1080P. On the offchance you have a box HDMI only, you'll need a converter cable.
The setup gets a little more  complicated if you're using a receiver as a switcher, i.e. all inputs go there with only one output to the set. when ou do that you're in an area outside this question. 
  is this all there is to it. But It goes only slightly more difficult if you're hooking up the   . 


You don't need the box for the television set. 

Self DiagnosticsThe V18 Chassis features Self Diagnostics to aid in troubleshooting problems that may cause the set toautomatically turn off or "shut down." The "Timer/Power ON LED" provides an indication of the sets operation,and the possible cause of a malfunction.1. Initial Control Circuitry CheckImmediately after the TV is connected to an AC power source:• The LED flashes three times ... indicating the Microprocessor has initialized and is functioningproperly.• If the LED does not flash ... the Microprocessor is NOT functioning.2. Error Code Operational CheckTo activate the Error Code Mode, while the set is OFF, press the front panel "INPUT" and "MENU" buttonsat the same time and hold for 5 seconds. The LED will flash denoting a two digit Error Code.Note: The Front Panel buttons must be used, NOT those on the Remote Control.• The number of flashes indicates the value of the MSD (tens digit) of the Error Code.• The flashing then pauses for approximately 1/2 second.• The LED then flashes indicating the value of the LSD (ones digit) of the Error Code.• The Error Code is repeated a total of 5 times.Example: For Error Code is "24", the LED will flash 2 times, pause, and then flash 4 times.3. Error CodesThe Error Code designations indicating a malfunction, or no malfunction, are listed below:"12" ... indicates no error has occurred."21" ... X-Ray Protect circuit."22" ... Short Protect circuit."23" ... Horizontal Deflection failure."24" ... Vertical Deflection failure.

Is your power button stuck?

PFA image files. It includes separation instructions..... thx

Press both the input and menu buttons front of tv for 5 seconds.

If fuse should burn out, there should be any reason. Without find it, and get it repaired, if you put an other fuse, it might make things worse. It will be best to contact any service technician. Gopakumar Gopalan Google

Hi, Please replace main signal board,go to ebay and seach for TEXAS TV PARTS,or texasgreatdeals4you,for tv boards,lcd screens,plasma screens and more.

Nedd to replase the ICE units

please make this test and fix it. God bless you You simply need a screwdriver (Phillips-head) and then follow this guide:

• Reset component settings. Usually, the problems you encounter with a projection TV may be resolved through the resetting to its factory settings. If you experience inaccuracies in the color, reset the television's PerfectTint/PerfectColor capabilities. Simply press the Menu tab and then highlight "Perfect Color" using your right key arrow. After this, press "Enter" and then "Reset" in order to reset to factory settings. If you have audio / video problems (VCR or DVD player), simply press "Menu" and highlight the "Reset" option.

• Reset television controls. In case you cannot fix your TV via its component settings, there are other ways of resetting. Just select "Menu", key in "1, 2, 3", and then press "Enter." In doing this, the TV's manufacturer's specifications will all be restored. If your TV's power system does not function, you should perform a complete system reset. You can do this by clicking on Reset System button located at the TV's control panel. Your television will be turned off and then a green light (LED) will quickly flash for approximately one minute. Once the light has stopped flashing, your TV should immediately turn on.
• Use your remote control. The first step is to inspect the batteries of the remote control and see if they are functioning. If its power button starts to blink several times once you turned it on, then the batteries need to be replaced. See to it that your remote control is used within about 20 feet from the television. Make sure also that nothing blocks the space between the remote control and the receiver.
• Check the fan. Once the television is turned off, it is just normal for its fan to become louder. A projection TV actually depends on its lamp, which requires cooling so that it will not prematurely burn out. If the room where your TV is placed is very hot, the fan would also continue to run.

Replace projection lamp. To properly do this, make sure that the lamp's bulb has cooled down and the TV is unplugged. Carefully remove the cover of the lamp's compartment using your screwdriver (Phillips-head). Unscrew the sealed part of the lamp that can be found at the television's rear part. Take away the old lamp cartridge and then insert a new one. Seal the lamp with screws, replace its cover and then screw tightly.

There should be an aspect ratio button or picture size button on your remote. If this doesn't help, then change the settings aspect settings on your cable/satelite box.

This tv isn't known for sound problems. First thing to do is to go to the cable box and push the volume up button on the box if there is one. Next thing to do is to try another device that has a hdmi output like a dvd or game system in place of the cable box. My guess is that this muffled sound is somehow caused by the cable converter box. You can try to reboot the box by unplugging the power for 30 seconds, then plugging it back in. If all else fails, you can call the cable or satellite service and have them change the converter box. Good luck, Russmann.

There are four (4) caps on the 'DM' board that need to replaced. Parts: 680ufd 16 volts, orig are rated at 1,000 ufd.

use the RGB (RedGreenBlue) video connections on the back of the tv instead of the single yellow video, or coax cable connection

fault of new owner not testing it before purchase.

Find the option code menu for your set and do the hard reset to see if it restores the missing input.

If you unplugged the set you will get the 1,2 no error found, the 2,2 is short protection, I hope you had that before the chips were replaced, it is one or both of the pico fuses bad that protect those chips.see photo of board, locations are 9FAo4 and o5 on the middle board where the chips are but further back. they are both five amp pico fuses.
