My Mitsubishi WD-52631 went "POP"

A capacitor has failed, common problem, easy for a TV guy to fix.

im pretty sure the light fuse has exploded inside your tv. itll be cheaper to buy a new one

Hello
Something bursted out inside your tV. Probably it will be a mains filter capacitor. If this type of capacitor bursts out, it will spill the electrolyte liquid all over the surroundings, which is an electrically conductive material. So never turn ON this TV until it has been throughly cleaned and repaired. Power supply board inside your Tv is faulty. OK.

The first and most likely cause is that your lamp has blown. Simply remove it and inspect when they have blown its really easy to tell. Remove lamp door with a philips screw driver. The door is located I believe on the back of the set towards the right side. Once the lamp door is off there will be 1 maybe 2 screws holding the lamp assembly itself in place. Remove those then the housing should slide right out. The lamp number is 915B403001 for that model.. Good Luck!!!

It sounds like your TV lamp popped this lamps are rated for 6000-8000 life hours witch is a average time of 2-4 years take the lamp out I'm sure you will see broken glass inside the lamp I found the lamp you need

Did you check the lamp?

The Lamp probably has poped/shatterd . You can get one through Mitsubishi at
1800-553-7278.

If you have a Sony DLP, then the loud pop you heard is your lamp.  The lamps last approx. 4K-6K viewing hours.  Read your manual for replacement part number to reorder and very simple to replace yourself.

Hello:

The loud pop you heard is usually indicative of a failed lamp. The clicking noise you hear is likely the ballast trying to turn the lamp on.

Following up on my Feb 7 post. My new lamp arrived, and I replaced it and it works great. The old lamp had many shards of glass come out of it. It was tore up. I saved some money buy purchasing just the lamp and not the cartridge. It's a little bit more work to take apart, but saves money. Mitsubishi wanted $289 for the lamp replacement kit. I got a lamp for $114. TV is working just fine now!
