Blinking Green Light on Mitsubishi DLP 52525

I have had a Mitsubishi DLP 52525 for 2+ years now and recently the green timer light started to rapidly blink when the unit was turned on and it continued to blink without the picture coming on. After discconnecting the power and then using the system reset button, the problem remained. I swapped out the lamp and the tv worked for about a day and now the same problem is occurring. I have hit the system reset button but to no avail. There is nothing in the manual that deals with what is indicated by a constant blinking green timer led. Looking for suggestions. I have the same problem.. the green light is blinking all the time.. I disconnected the power and then reset the unit but still is blinking. I had this TV now for 5 years and never had to change the bulb light... what can I do to solve this issue?

    I had my 62" for 3 years now changed the lamp twice got the 1st for $250.00 with the plug in housing,this time I just got the lamp from discout-merchant,the tv came on slow at 1st then got blinking green light,sent the lamp back $109.00 for testing.They stated the lamp was good and I would have to pay $20.00 for the test, anyway the tech said it is more that likely the ballast,that gives power to the lamp!

    We have the same problem with the blinking green timer light. The circuit board was just replaced. The TV is only 3 years old. The TV won't come on and we cannot do anything to stop the green timer light from blinking. Nothing in the manual addresses this problem. How do we fix this?

the dlp will most likely need a qualified mits repair center to take over for you. repairing that set is pretty involved. and the parts you would need are not available to the public.
on your 48" CRT projection check the DM module for 4 vented 1000mf 16v capacitors. replacement should get you tv working great

SOURCE: I have had a Mitsubishi DLP 52525 for 6+ years now

I don't know about nettiser's credentials, but I've found plenty of people who would disagree with his/her assessment.

The flashing green timer light after a lightning storm seems to be a very common problem with old Mistubishi rear projection TV's. A friend and I had the exact same problem.

Using this and other sites, I spent $36 bucks and a little time with a soldering iron to replace the capacitors on the DM board and got mine up and running (WS55859). I've never really worked on electronic circuit boards before, but the helpful advice at these sites got me up and running. Definitely check it out before you hire someone or replace your TV:

Repair Kit with instructional CD available at:
http://www.tvrepairworld.com/mitsubishi_repair_kits
for under $40 plus shipping.

Discussion of process in detail at:
http://www.hometheaterspot.com/showtopic.php?tid/137881/
for the WS55859 model, which may be a little different.

the circut that detects the bulb has been also failing in these sets
and the conversion chip that controls the picture , and the transformers are not putting out the full power they are supposed to.
this set will need to be tested to determine the exact cause or causes

The 52525 is definitely going to either:

1. have the caps on the FMT/DM board replaced (not something I'd recommend you do yourself)

2. have the electrical chassis rebuilt (as sometimes, you can replace the caps and still have the problem).


wait time: 4-8 weeks
cost to rebuild: $400-$500
cost for labor: $200-$400
