20 Most Recent Mitsubishi VS-55609 55" Rear Projection Television - Page 2 Questions & Answers

Your TV has whats called a convergence problem. You can get parts, instructions, and installation support from sites such as www.TvRepairKits.com

remove board clean/dry and replace. coolant leaks from bulbs?????

wait a few min. dont keep pushing button it will never come on after pushing on wait 10 15 min. its security setting on tv.

Replace the convergence ICs. You can get the convergence kits from www.tvrepairworld.com

Projection TV sets are known to have two common problems. The first problem that is common to these sets is convergence failure. When this happens the TV will usually look 3D, Wavy/Distorted, etc. It may also shutdown and blink an error code.

The second common problem with Projection TV sets is dull video, halos around objects, white looking video, or red overpowers the screen. This is commonly caused by the fluid in the lens being clouded overs.

Check a capacitor in the signal board. The location is C2V29 [printed on the TV board] which should be a 16 volt 22Mfd capacitor. This little guy can certainly cause you TV to Flicker. You will also need to inspect all the solder grounds and be sure there are no cracked rings on any and all ICs. These ICs will be mounted on heatsinks.The pins are located underneath the TV board. I have repaired many of these TVs! Thanks for asking and give me some hands of support!

michael,

Yes it is.

Thanks for using FixYa and the generous rating.

No, if the screen is scratched it would have to be replaced---most are well over 100 in cost---if not too bad this should be a bargaining point to use---set not worth as much with scratched screen.

Out clear screen is protective only and anti glare as well.

Do not try to sand or buff it out--It will just make it look worse.

Many different mitsubishi's have problems with voltage regulators going out and causing wavy diagonal lines that scroll the picture from top to bottom or vice versa. Without a model number it's difficult to clarify.

I'm sorry, but you don't. It is probibally the protective cover that is scratched and not the screen itself. You should be able to take off the protective cover and replace it. Or you can just leave it off, but you risk damaging the screen itself when you do this.

There are two common problems with these sets.

Problem #1) Convergence

Symptoms:

• Screen Looks 3D
• Colors wont align
• Video may look distorted

Problem #2 CRT Fluid has clouded over. Symtoms

• Dull looking video
• White looking video
• Halos around objects
• Red/Orange looking video

Your symptom sounds like a damaged convergence IC.

There are two and large IC’s that control the convergence in a big screen set. They are secured to a very large aluminum heat sink. They will have a part number stamped on them that will start with an STKXXX-XXX, like STK392-110, and they are located on the signal board (on the left as you look into the back of the set).

Along with the convergence IC’s there will also be some associated components that will need to be replaced as well. There are some resistors that are part of the convergence circuit that will be open and need to be replaced. Most likely these will appear charred in the center. If you have an Ohm Meter or a DVM, check all the resistors that are close to the IC’s and you should be looking for either ones that have opened or have changed values.

I would suggest that you contact a service center in your area for a complete diagnosis and repair, as this type of repair can get a little tricky. But if you want to repair the set yourself, just remember to be careful. The capacitors and CRT’s can hold a charge and may shock you.


If one of the convergence IC’s are found to be bad, I would replace them both, if one has gone bad the other may go soon. I usually order my parts from Andrews Electronics in California; they will have the OEM components that you will need.
Their site is http://www.andrewselectronics.com/welcome.aspx
And their phone number is a 24-Hour Order Desk: (800) 274-4666
I recommend the phone order so you can talk to the person about the different types of IC’s that are available.

I would also advise that the convergence IC’s be OEM or better, just because they are cheap does not mean that they are a good deal. I have seen the cheap IC’s fail after a short time, even though they look exactly like the OEM IC’s. I think that the bottom line is that you will get what you pay for when it comes to the parts.

You can also try http://www.tvrepairkits.com/ , I have not tried them yet, but they do carry OEM or better parts.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue.
If you need any further assistance please respond to this post.

How were you able to remove the plexi glass screen? I have the same problem, but I don't know how to remove it!

I suspect you have a bad convergence ic bad the letters 0n the ics start with stk replace ic you will have a good shot that will fix it. you do need to be able to solder . be careful. there are 2 ics replace both .

mcm electronics for parts

thanks jay

if u have only had it a month it should be under warranty get them to repair it
