Probably has lost convergence chips and fuses. But keep in mind--these sets often get a LOT of capacitor problems and fulid leakage problems too--so be aware of this.

Unplug the tv and leave it unplugged for a couple hours. Plug tv back in press reset button. TV led may flash for a day but should come on. I did this last night to mine and it came on at 11am today.

I have a wd-57731 The lamp light blinked orange. i replaced the lamp turned the tv on and the timer blinks green for one minute and then the lamp light blinks orange again. It won't turn on. Can you suggest anything?

Yes, you can play DVD movies on TV, you need the tuner if you want to see broadcasted channels.Your universal remote should have codes for Mitsubishi Rear Proj. Tv's. If you dont have the instructions with the remote , call the manuf. Good luck!

when you take the front screen off the screen maybe dusty or the projecters are bad or the oil is burned. when you open them if theres a brown film over them the fluid is burned. the tv is not worth the cast of them or the fluid

I think your in SAP mode.....couldn't unstand a word your saying.

Your convergence has failed. This is a very common problem on most projection tv sets.

ts will go into shutdown when a vertical issue is present but the audio will still continue to operate normally.

you are going to need a ohm meter and they will be low value resistors--color bands denote the value and they have to be tested, do not think its possible for me to tell you which to replace as I would check them to know which.You might find the service manual with Google for free at scribed.

Either a bad solder connection in the Convergence circuit or the chip/s used need to be replaced.

Its a one piece screwed and glued cabinet that cannot be taken apart.

To get an idea of why the set is shutting down when it does shut down if power light goes out do the self check this set should have.Does the power light go out when it fails?

Sounds like you may have a bad convergance ic.

Sir try to reset the lamp timer. you should press the "display" button on the remote then "5" then the "volume up key" and power "on" you should do this while the tv is in standby mode. Then press "Jump" 3 times to enter the DE service menu. Your tv will display the total lamp hours. Reset the lamp time by pressing channel 3, then mute, then enter. this will make your lamp hour timer to zero. Good day and best regards.
