Problem is likely on the small circuit board that plugs onto the bottom of the red picture tube---be careful as dangerous voltages in and around that board---each of the three picture tubes has a small board that plugs on the end of the tube.

SOURCE: Screen turning pink

If the pink overlay goes away gradually, you could have weak picture tubes (CRT's) If the color jumps in after warming up, it could be a bad solder connection. If you haven't had a good picture to watch for a long time, I would be tempted to put the money towards a new HDTV set as those older Mitsubishi Rear Projection TV's had a Lot of bad solder connections in the past, and by fixing one problem another could crop up in the near future.

SOURCE: Convergence problems

If you know how to solider you can fix this yourself with no new parts.

The convergence chip is becoming desoldered from the board. If you check hometheaterspot.com's Mits forum they have very detailed info on how to fix this.

Someone with moderate experience would have to examine the red crt printed circuit board--I have seen some of these that develop a cracked ground path on that board but usually it is pink except on the sides depending which ground path is bad.

My Mitsu rear-projection WS-B55 was purchased in '03 or so. Now the screen is sometimes turning red. I can do a system reset, and the color goes back to normal. Then it eventually (maybe days later)...

No,pictures go all red?Pictures have colors shaded shadows or 3D pictures look alike?Yes,than the tv it is developing a problem known as a convergence problems it dying.The tv convergence board have problems,must be resoldering those 2 or replaced 2 STK covergence ICS and some or all of it resistors too.To fixed the tv convergence board,to solved the convergence picture problems.The shop,will cost u like $300-350 for diagnose the problems and do all the resoldering work or replaces those parts on the tv convergence board.

Dark pic on screen, unable to correct with regular means.

Regardless, my answer stands. It needs repair by a qualified technician. Rates vary by area. Make telephone inquires.

Mitsubishi ws-55809 distorted picture

Sounds like you are having a convergence error.
What you could do is either replace the TV or have some wires/circuits/boards replaced.
Shop around for prices.
If you're lucky you'll find someone willing to do a free estimate, as replacing anything on these will set you back a few hundred...at least.
Hopefully, in your case, the problem can be solved by tightening a screw or two.

MITSUBISHI HD 1080 series

most likely the convergence Ics have failed. Check F9a04 and F9A05 pico fuses if they are blown you will need to replace them and the convergence Ics.They are located on the center board they are green and look like resistors without the color band. see the photoa193b32.jpg82b89b8.jpg
