3-D Appearance Mitsubishi WS-73909

I think I have a convergence issue with my set. I can't adjust nor improve the situation.
I checked codes but can't tell if I have a code 12 or 21 but it appears it's a 12 as I get the single flash first.
Anyway I'm looking for thoughts on testing or possible ideas for what may be wrong.

    Thanks! My buddies buddy is a TV repairman (news to me) and after about 5 seconds said the samething. "Replace the IC chips and see if that solves the problem. Even if it doesn't solve the problem, they would need replacing soon anyway."

    Any tips on removing the board?
    I'm not sure if I can just remove the borad or if I need to remove the entire chassis and then the board.
    Any pictures showing actual location?

  • ph2ocraft Dec 28, 2008

    Yeppers, most cables were long enough to slide the chassis out. The ones that weren't I marked (even though the factory did it) and disconnected.

    Once I got the chassis back it was very easy to remove the board.

    Mine has 1 IC chip so I ordered it and await the next phase.



    THANKS GUYS!!

    The board you need to remove is in the middle of the tv set. Mitsubishi gives long cables, so you can slide it out, but you have to unhook all the cable ties. Definately remove the board not the chassis.. but slide the chassis out a bit for easier access. Not sure on your model because its much more rare, but usually you have to remove the heatsink (big metal thing ICs thermally bonded to) to get the board out. This may require removing a bar across the ICs so you can get to the screws holding the heatsink in.. All screws should be philips and all the plugs are labeled in mits, so no worries there. The only difference between the way listed in the link to the way I do it, is the unsoldering of the ICs.. I use wick or a desoldering tool instead of cutting the legs and heating and pulling them.. either way should work but be careful not to heat the board too much or the pads can fall off.

    yeah the 1 ic = stk393-110



    be careful you get the pins right, this one zig-zags. also check all the resistors around the IC for burn up, most mits failures don't have issues. In some cases you can get luck and just resolder the IC to fix the issue, or around it, but thats only with intermittent problems and the IC will only last 5-8 years anyways

I have a Mitsubishi rear projection TV (WS-73909) that didn't turn on and had a green blinking light. I replaced the 7 DM capacitors and now it turns on. Both the remote and front control panel ca

Let me know as I can look for this---the set has a keyboard lockout that is cleared by holding the menu or another front button for more than 5-10 seconds with set on---I can find the service manual and check if needed.

How do I reset my Mitsubishi WS-65908

Model number here has 3 hidden menus--adjustment (keep out of that one) and convergence, and OPTION menu.

In the Option menu with the Mitsubishi remote you can do a hard reset of entire set--sets everything back to factory except convergence adjustments.

This requires the Mitsubishi remote and a 4 digit number code.

I am willing to give that but first would like to know WHY you wish to do that as it will not cure all problems like dead set, convergence etc.

The screen has bowed lines and different colors no sound

If the model as indicate here (WS-55807) YOU may have two problems: Convergence and a audio problem.

In customer menu select convergence and with the Mitsubishi remote try to adjust the grid of lines so no red etc--if bowed it will not adjust.

This would mean the two stk-392-570 convergence chips this model uses need to be replaced(I have free start to finish instructions for that).

The no sound may and is likely a second issue: speakers in the menu may be switched off etc.

If both happened at the same instant this model has a hard reset(not from front of set but with a 4 digit code and done with the Mitsubishi remote) This sets everything except convergence adjustments back to factory original.

It is called the OPTION menu.

So, did both issues happen at exact same time or what?

Parts for the convergence repair are under 30 dollars total and I can tell you where.

Questions?

How do i reset my mitsubishi television model#ws-55511

First a reset may not help unless I know what your problem is.

If model listed (WS-55511) IS CORRECT: set has 3 hidden menus:

Option Menu (hard reset of all settings to factory)
Technical Menu (Adjustments for various things)
Convergence Menu for adjusting convergence.

THESE ARE NOT ACCESSED FROM CUSTOMER MENU. Each requires Mitsubishi remote and a 4 digit code .......

So, What is your issue with the set?


I have the codes but it depends on model number and what problem with set is, reset is in Option menu but will not cure all problems.

Mitsubishi WS-73909 has error code of 2 or 22. Any suggestions??? Thanks

2 2. CHECK FOR LEAKY C9A60 470 PF 1000 V PART # 154P400030, PARALLEL TO D9A57 ON THE POWER PCB. 2. SHUTDOWN AT POWER WITH SELF DIAGNOSIS ERROR 2 2. CHECK FOR OPEN FUSES F9A04 AND F9A05 ON THE +24 AND -24 VOLT LINES. IF THE FUSES ARE OPEN THE CONVERGENCE OUTPUT CIRCUIT WOULD BE SUSPECT

My mitsubishi ws73909 will not turn on just want to know if is worth fixing it

It is usually the high voltage module or convergence problems,and sometimes it is the vertical IC. If it was me I would just replace it with a new LCD. The repairs are going to cost around five hundred to have your set repair.
