I have a Mitsubishi 1080p DLP and it's only two years old. A couple of days ago, we noticed the picture seem to have a short delay causing some jerkiness. Today, the picture is frozen and jerks just a little in the same frame. I've tried to reset, reinitialize, I deleted the program that is frozen in the direct tv recorded menu. I can still get audio on all channels but can't move off the frozen frame. Thanks in advance for any help.

If its a DLP with a high pitched or even fan like sound it is the color wheel--Mitsubishi does not sell them as a part---you would have to replace the entire light engine (expensive and may not be available any more on a older set) .

Mitsubishi that the one,who u should contact.Talk to them make some kind of deal with them to help u to do a repairing or replace the tv Light Engine Projection Block.That the tv problems,this problems a design flaw on the tv Light Projection Egine Block the IC they put in that causes of this white spots are showing up will continue showing up more and more white dots.It will not stops.

Yes, it could be the mirrors or the engine but the first and most cost effective thing to do is to replace the lamp as Mitsubishi has suggested. Your set is five years old and it's due for a lamp replacement anyway and if you call a tech out to come fix it, they are going to charge you for the trip, the time and the lamp (double the retail of what Mitsubishi will charge, by the way) when you can just replace it yourself for $100 from Mitsubishi. Even if it's something wrong with the mirrors and engine, the repair service is going to change the lamp as well and charge you for it.
You can order replacement lamps through Mitsubishi's website or if you need it overnight call them and they'll charge you an extra $50 for that. Do not buy a lamp from an after-market, third party vendor. They are far more expensive, they usually don't come with the cartridge and they are not as good as the OEM from Mitsubishi.

It will cost you probably in the area of $700.00 to replace the Light Engine. I don't think it would be a good idea to repair it. DLP sets have been out of production a few years now due to high failure rates of the light engines for all makes and models and the consumer cost for the lamp.

DLP projection tvs are bulky and have a design flaw in the convergence board the 2 STK convergence ICS alway dies constinely require replacement,if u use about 4 or 5 hours day in and day out.If the old Mitsubishi tv several years since is was repair,u use it alot?If yes,it time to retire it,and buy the refurbish Plama tv.Not,than get the old tv repair.U Know how to solders?Tries Websites Tv repair World.com,Tvrepairkits.com to buy a convergence kit to repair it ur self.U can go to You Tube type in Convergence problems will see a tutoring video in repairing 2 STK Convergence ICS.

the white dots (sometimes you get black ones too) are caused by a faulty DLP chip. you can find the replacement for your TV at the following website:

Actually you must replace the DLP chip that is buried deep in the works of the tv. Unfortunately this can run into a nice lump of change. Do what I did. Perhaps you've heard the old addage

Find your reciept then call mitsubishi . if you purchased it less than 3 years ago mitsubishi will pay to have the expensive light engine replaced.

If it is definately the green tube, then NO it is not worth repairing.

It could be your Light Engine. However, I would first check a few things:

1. Make sure your Low Power/Lamp settings are adjusted so that they meet your brightness needs.

2. Make sure you used a Mitsubishi original lamp, as generics get chewed through fast and hard.

3. Try another lamp; sometimes you can get a bad one in the bunch.

All those things don't work, consider a Light Engine ($400 + for parts; $300+ for labor)
