Hour glass shaped image after the tv is on for awhile

I have a HD1080 Medallion (model #ws-55819) for about 7+ years. Now when I turn it on it seems ok. then after a period of time...minutes to hours the picture takes an hour glass appearance. I have tried to reset the convergence to factory under the advanced menu mode but it doesnt affect the hour glassing. The middle of the tv from top to bottom is more narrow than the sides. Hour glass laying on its side. Is this worth fixing or should I just get a new tv?

You wil find that the fault is in the scan correction circuit, ie. dry joint. Tap around the scan panels and you may get lucky. [You may see a small arc as thi circuit uses high voltages.

My Mitsubishi Medallion tv stays on for about 10 minutes and then shuts down and won't turn back on until a period of time has passed. It is a rear projection tv about 9 years old. Can anyone help ex

When it shuts off and the green power light goes off, press both the menu and input buttons on the front of the set (not the remote) and hold both for about five seconds and release.

Power light will blink a two digit error code like 2 blinks and then 3 blinks and repeat it several times.

What is the error code?

Picture problem on mitsubishi medallion ws 55819 model....picture convergence messed up on left and right side of screen (center fine)...problem goes away and set "re-adjusts" after it's been turned on for...

Well I have a Mitsubishi WS-65413 65 in. Rear Projection Television and when I power it on in the morning it looks as if the picture on the bottom of the screen is bending and parts of the picture "double up" but like the person above me said after it gets warmed up it goes back to normal but every 3 or 4 hours it might get messed up for a min...Anyways: Is it the picture tube going out?? If so how does anyone know how much it would cost to repair/replace & What is a "Convergence Module"?? I don't know if my T.V has one of those or not but if it doesnt is that the problem perhaps?? Please help me or ill be forced to go outside... :-( ..... thanx 4 the help ppl!! -
