Mitsubishi vs-5051

- u seem to know exactly what to do, since u have rejected every suggestion, good luck on the fix

Jan 23, 2009

- try changing the connection from being via HDMI to component video cable and analog audio cables if you can. (switch from coax cable to rca jacks)

- I don't know what capacitor number you have. Here is a link to the printout of your capacitors and the codes and paramaters. Just copy and paste in your browser. If not right one by chance then let me know and I will find another one.

- could be bad ballast, bad color wheel, or lamp/lamp timer. or lamp door.

Jan 29, 2009

- Check to see if your light bulb is lighting up. See if the bulb is good or not. Also, if you can, check to see if there is power coming out of the ballast with a voltmeter.
The problem may also be the very common suffer from multiple dry soldered joints.
To access them all, the main board needs to be removed from the plastic chassis and checked all over.
Also, need to check the Tuner & I.F. board for same.
Should be carried out only by a qualified engineer as it involves a fair bit of disturbance to the TV, removal of plug/socket connections and wire looms. Done loads of them and takes about an hour to complete properly.

Jan 29, 2009

- This could be in several different circuits in the tv. it could even be bad connections in the power supply, but, What I personally think is that It sounds like a problem with the backlight. These aren't replaceable, but the issue might be with the power to it. You'll have to get a repair shop to look at it.

- the part# is STK392-110 but most technicians including me replace these with STK392-150 for higher wattage rating and reliability. And before replacing these IC's technicians check small components called resistors and pico fuses. They also check for loose or cold solder connections.

- This ususally means that the screen voltage is too high adn you are seeing the retrace lines. The only way to fix this is to turn down teh screen control on the flyback. This will make the picture darker though. I suspect that the CRTs are getting tired. Time for a new HDTV set.

Jan 17, 2009

- believe that you have 2 distinct issues with this set. First, the PIP module probably needs to have all of the capacitors replaced. Second, you have a high voltage problem. At this point the set is at least 15 years old. Since the components required to repair this could easily exceed $100, is it worth it? Given that the set will require a converter next year (2008), I would recommedn that you replace the set with a newer one that will be compliant with digital broadcasts soon to be the standard.

- Reset your projection to factory defaults settigns.
reaattch all cables.check your poer supply and earhing prtoperly working.
try other power supply.

Jan 17, 2009

- reset all settigns to factory defaults.change power supply then check .also reconnect all cable connection.

Jan 21, 2009

- set proper resoluiton .

Jan 14, 2009

- see i found 1 comment from outside

he is telling like this " disconnected everything and pushed the TV out from the wall so I could access the back. I removed about 10 hex screws and removed the fiberboard back. The inside of the set was incredibly dusty, so the first thing I did was attack it with some compressed air, trying to be careful to not blow dust onto the CRT gun lenses, the mirror, or the rear projection screen.

Jan 14, 2009

- t was pretty easy to find the solder pads for the STK392-110s, 18 pins in a row, one tilted at an odd angle. Luckily, most of the board was through-hole, but there were a smattering of surface mount components and the board was a bit flexible, so I worried that I would pop off a surface mount part. It didn't happen though. I used the soldering iron and the rubber desoldering bulb to remove the solder from the pins, then I reached behind and rocked the parts out of the holes. I had to re-heat a few of the pins to get them to release. Then I used some desoldering wick to clean up the pads.

- You can also download a service manual for the same chassis from link below:

To download the file, please, click here ! <

Jan 29, 2009

- Thanks,

it is difficult for me to follow your problem, as there is a little confusion with too many people trying to help, but it will be useful to know where the blown capacitor C530 was.

If TV is turning off after 10 15 mins, test also the resistors at teh base of the STK ICs on the convergence circuits, the STKs are power amps, and if one of them is defective they can cause shut down when they warm up. When the problem is on convergence you may also get picture problems.

Other circuits that can can cause shut down after some time are:

power board, always the most likely when you get this.
The small AC boards powering the CRTs (or the lamp on other models).
Other problems on main board.

I also checked on Euras system , that is a database for techs only, and sometimes sort out our problem ( EURAS)
Many common faults that cause shutdown after complete power up on VS5051 and same chassis are caused by faults related to IC700 .

I think you need to test pin 13, 15 and 55 on IC700, following instructions on service manual.

I think test is the same as below, capacitors codes may be different, IC700 is the same.

Here you find some common cause for shutdown after start on a model with same chassis. Power board and digital control board should be the same.

Jan 14, 2009

- Your initial post "Is working fine, but after 10-15 sec. the screen came black." but does the sound continue (normal)?

If yes there is still sound, you could check the PIP board (if your version has got one). If there is, it would be the smallest board on the left side among those standing up boards. Try wiggling it and/or check for cold solder and/or the coupling capacitors.

An update would be appreciated.

- these are the common problem with that situation,,

• Acoustic screen material allows speakers to be placed behind the screen
• Relatively low cost for a motorized acoustic screen
• Not practical unless the wall behind the screen is black or very dark and non-reflective
• Screen surface is reasonably color neutral, although not as good as the best screens
• Some loss of high frequencies, slight loss of overall volume of sound
• Funky, but effective 12 volt trigger system, for having the screen drop at projector power up, and close on projector shutdown.
• Comes with both infra-red, and RF remotes
• 100", 16:9 version retails for $1609 before discounts, which can be significant on Elite screens.
  

The black line you see running between the upper colors and the lower ones, is actually the bottom structure of the Elite screen. Therefore, the colors above the black bar, are those shining off the Elite, and the ones below the bar, are coming off of the Carada. As you can see from the image, each of the colors are almost identical. Using Photshop, I looked at the actual color composition (RGB) of each of the colors. I found overall, the Elite screen suffers a very, very slight shift to yellow/green in several of the colors, and overall (although the white itself measures a touch blue). The assumption here, is that the Carada is excellent in terms of color accuracy, and the Elite not far from the Carada's performance.
The next image is another "split screen" with the Elite on top, and the Carada below. Since you are seeing different portions of the same image, it's a bit hard to truly ascertain how close to identical these two screens are. For that reason, the second image is the same frame, shown only on the Elite. You can now see the bottom of the face, and the tunic of our subject, on the Elite. Between the two photos, you can now see the same lower portion of the image on each screen:
