The problem is in either the pip module or the comb filter module and the repair shop should be able to bypass this module - I charge between 180-240 depending on where the home is.Get an estimate

I would suspect the lamp first if it has never been replaced.

Loose grounds on the vertacal ic or the horizontal coil or a bad ground on a power resistor. Definitely a bad ground...Find someone to resolder these for you.

google rca tv(model number,its on the back of your tv.)manual and read it.

Hi, my suggestion would be to at least have it looked at and let the technician explain what happened and how much it will cost to fix .At that point you can make an informed decision as to have it repaired or have it replaced. If you can get it repaired then I am sure it would be less expensive that buying a new T.V.

Hello david_barber,

This sounds as if it could be a problem in the power supply section of this TV. Usually LCD TVs have problems with capacitors drying up and causing this type of issue. You can check this by opening the back of the TV and seeing if you can see any of the capacitors (can like components) that look bloated and or puffy (this is a sign that the capacitor was stressed for a period of time. Now as far as replacing the capacitors or even the board, I would suggest that this be done by a qualified TV Technician, due to the fact that there are procedures involved in the removal and replacement of parts that the technician would know of.

I hope this helps,

Thank you,

Each Remote is Different... it will only work if the IR Codes Match your TV.. if they dont then you have no hope of getting it 2 work.. most likly just through it out... coz its prob just cheeper to buy a universal one from your local supermarket

i hope so.but if you know how someone who understands electronics can be of help.

This sound like the standard Mitshubisi PIP board problem. There are two ways to adress this one is to repair the board, this involves replacing surface mounted capacitor and is about %80.00 sucsessful. The other is to simply bypass this board. this option is the way to go, it involves installing two capacitor on the main board and fixes the main pix but kills the Picture in Picture (PIP) I will send off both these repairs to your E-mail

you need to go into the menu and turn off the software upgrade

just did it on mine and it works

Select an input set on the back (example "Video 2"), use the RCA cables to connect the video component player to the selected input. yellow is video signal, red & white are the audio. To view/listen, select with the remote using the button called "TV/Video" or something similar. Hit the button repeatedly until you are viewing the desired source.

check your ground

yes i have the same problem i need help

The bang test is a good indication that there are poor solder connections inside the set. If you can solder and are comfortable working inside the set where potentially dangerous high voltages exist even when unplugged, you can fix this yourself. Look at the main board and resolder any joints that appear grainy or have rings. That should resolve the problem. If not, see if there are any changes in the symptoms and update this.
