Mitsubishi WD-82738 DLP TV - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

https://www.manualslib.com/products/Mitsubishi-Wd-82738-607049.html

You have a power supply issue that needs to be addressed.

See page 6 (this is a display & basic explanation of your transmitter) of the owners manual http://mitsubishi-tv.com/asset/file/basic_owners_guide/738-838_BIB_v3.pdf there is a format button on you remote transmitter. If you have other format issues it is probably your source & not the TV. You may have to change the source format in which case you will need that mfr. operating manual.

I have a mits. 82738 tv which would shut off after 20 minutes when first turned on . Loose sound and picture. Looked up error code in service manual and it said the lap was the problem. Replaced lamp and now it works fine and the picture quality is great.

Image panel (LCD) failure. The transistors that turn on the pixels for any given row/line, have failed.

Most of these TV's have switched mode power supllies that run very hot. There is a likely chance that the capacitors have cooked (burst) on the PSU board. They are common capacitors. Open up the TV and with the mains electricity turned off, check the 'X' on top of the tubular capacitors. If they are bulging, rather than flat, then unsolder them and replace them. I've repaired many of these sets because of this problem.

The tv flashing green light is on it have a word"LAMP"writing on the tv frame?Yes,than the tv projection lamp life it is ending.Tv unexpectedly shutdown the tv also have clicking noises sound too?That the board call the Ballast board is dying too,this board only job are only to ignite the projection lamp only.Tries websites like Partstore.com,Ebay.com to buy a new projection lamp and might have also have to replaced the Ballast board too.

Tries Mitsubishi website itself,should have the latest verison of the software.

Those blinks [flashes] are fault indication (Error Codes). From the number of blinks occur at one time switch ON, you can get an idea about the faulty circuit section inside it. This will make repair easy. These are called blinking codes. Make sure about the exact number of blinking of the standby/power LED, by switching On & OFF the set, for at least two times. Count it carefully. If you wish to get some details, check the site linked here. It has details about blinking codes, and fault locating procedure, to many popular brand TVs and other devices. https://homenol.blogspot.com/ https://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ If blinks continue without any pause, or the LED light stationery; the main board is faulty.

Have you checked DLP termistor?

Basing the replacement of the board on the clicking sound of a relay trying to close is not a safe bet. The first thing you need to do is check the bulb. Then there is a ballast board and then the Power supply board. Parts might be hard to find. Use the website I listed to see what part numbers are then google it or look on eba or amazon for those parts. Mitsubishi WD 60C8 TV Parts

Most likely a fuse blew when the lamp blew, there is internal fuses on the power supply board on these mitsubishi's, if the fuse is ok though then most likely another component somewhere failed.

Replace your lamp. Make sure its a real Osram bulb and not some cheap knock off. These folks have Osram bulbs and a 6mo warranty. Projector Lamps and TV Lampson Sale ProjectorLamps com stocks Superior...

If your set worked well (no lines, maybe only white or black scattered pixels) before you replaced the DLP chip, then your problem could be that the DLP chip did not get seated properly or the cam screws were not tightened enough after replacing the chip. The DLP chip must be seated properly in its socket or else line and column lines will be seen. There is also the possibility that the DLP chip is defective or suffered static damage while being handled during the installation. Hope this helps.

Hello. There are three places smudges that are seen in the picture can be found on a projection TV, the lens, the screen, and most likely, the mirror, but none can be discounted. All three can be accessed by removing the bezel and screen assembly. Most of the screws are around the edges from the back, and some are under the flap that hides the front controls. Good luck!

Hello. I have replaced many DLP chips, as I work for a repair shop. I have seen similar symptoms when the chip isn't seated properly in the mount. There is a gray screw that should be loosened to remove the chip, and tightened when the new one is installed. Most importantly, you must make sure that the chip is seated flat in the socket before tightening the gray screw. Since you have done it once, you should have no problem correcting the issue! ??

Hi, if you power your TV on and see a black or grey screen, it may be on the incorrect input. Inputs get changed when switching the TV input for dvds or video game consoles. Look for a Source or TV Video button on your TV remote, not the cable remote. Before doing this, please make sure all connections are secure. I hope this helps or reply with more questions.

sounds as if you may need to degauss (remove residual magnetic field) your set, such magnetism can cause the final image to become distorted. many televisions have a degauss utility in their menues

TV codes, if any, for universal remotes are gotten from the manufacturer of the remote.
