Location of the dm module in my mitsubishi 60111 tv

This is a V19 chassis, circa 2002

If all capacitors were replaced correctly & all caps with bulging tops were replaced, It sounds like you may have other issues on the DM pcb. Possibly defective ICs. That would be the E2P module (a small pcb which plugs directly onto the DM pcb), which is specific to your particular model & serial#

Several years ago the only way to get the E2P, was thru the manufacturer, they also, used to make a kit that you could replace those ICs yourself. Those pcbs & kits were limited. So all I can do is wish you much luck if that is the problem.


At this point I would double & triple check the replacement of your capacitors.

Your model the VS-60111 is the V20A chassis which doesnt have a DM board. I can assist with the issue but will need to know what the set does when you pug it into the electrical outlet and also what happens when you press power? Any lights? if so what color and is it solid light or blinking? Please respond to this same post for further assistance.

Try Going To The Mitsubishi Web Site. Downloading The Mitsubishi Service Manuals If You Don't Already Have It. It Will recommend The parts You Need To ordering. Circuit board photos are also shown which provide a visual reference during the repair process.

If you decide to have a service technician do the repair, insist that the "DM" module is removed from the TV and ONLY the four 1000uF, 16V Capacitors (Caps) located on the DM Module are replaced. MOST techincians will INSIST on replacing the entire DM Module and not simply the capacitors. The cost is about $200 for a technician to replace the capacitors and $1000 for replacement of the DM Module. As you will read below, doing the repair yourself will cost less than $4.00 for the 4 Caps.

they are located inside the DM modules case( Metal Case on far left side ) open the metal case and you will see 7 caps on the DM power board. I am posting a pic of the board with the 7 caps that need replacement use 1000UF 25V caps to replace the 1000UF 16V caps that are currently installed.

Probably 1500.00 new, but that's an old set. If your trying to sell it I would ask 350.00 for it, if it works.

hi friend,
Repairing It Yourself
If you decide to repair the TV yourself, I recommend that you obtain a copy of the repair manual for your Mitsubishi TV from the Techlore website by going to Mitsubishi Service Manual. It will provide some direction, however it is technically written and may be difficult for the NOVICE to understand. If you are unable to locate the the service manual for your specific Model at the above Techlore link, you may need to purchase the service manual online at ServiceManuals.net.

A Few "Cautions"

1. Keep yourself "grounded" when working with the circuit board. Static electricity will destroy electronic components.
   
2. When replacing the Capacitors, press them "down" onto the circuit board as far as they will go, hold them down, solder into place and clip the excess terminal lengths flush with solder. Only by doing this will the metal shield (little silver box) slide down and over the circuit board during re-assembly. There is not a lot of clearance when doing this, as the 105C Capacitors are slightly longer that the originals. With minimal effort everything does fit back together.
   
3. Use ONLY 105º C capacitors with a voltage rating of 35 V.
   
4. Re-insert the DM circuit board into the Mother board; press virmly and ensure a proper seat of the DM board. Next, slide the metal case down and over the DM circuit board. Refer to my "Lesson Learned."

Basic Troubleshooting

1. Press the "reset" button and hold for 10 seconds .... Does TV turn on and blinking green light turn to solid green.
   
2. Unplug the TV from it's power source for various times, ranging between 5 minutes and 24 hours..... Does blinking green light continue upon plugging in the TV.
   
3. Disconnect ALL devices from the TV; DVD, Tuner, Cable Box, unplug the TV for various duration times .... Does blinking green light continues upon plugging in the TV.
   
4. Press Power and Menu buttons simultaneously and hold depressed for 20 seconds .... Does blinking green light continue to flash.
   
5. Press Power and Display buttons simultaneously and hold depressed for 20 seconds .... Does blinking green light continue to flash.
   
6. Insure that no front panel buttons are inadvertently stuck in an "engaged" position.

Diagnosis: If none of the above test resolve the issue, then the failure lies in one of the following:

1. DM Module Capacitors have FAILED.
2. DM Module is defective.
3. EEPROM Board failure
4. Power Supply failure.

hope this helps u
please rate me.....................
thank u for using fixya

The DM module has bad capacitors in it and these will need to be replaced, or the DM module replaced.(about 85% of the time, the caps WILL fix them though...) A good shop should be able to rebulid your module for about 300-400 in the home.

Hello Getoxygen,

This sounds like a DM problem. To repair this you will have to replace 4 or 7 capacitors (1000uf 35v).
Here are the instructions. Depending on your set this may differ a bit, but the central theme is getting the DM free to be worked on.

This was taken from a TV repair site used by TV technicians.

STEP 1) The DM Module loose. But itcan't be rotate out because of the upper plastic guide.


STEP2) How the DM Module is rotated out of the TV case. Allow thewires
entering the DM Module to be an axis point of the rotation.That way they barely move and don't get snagged or stretched.


STEP3) The DM Module out and the side cover of the metal housing removed.


STEP 4) My setup to do the soldering work.


STEP5) Up Close of the daughter board and the seven capacitors on
MitsWS-55859.


STEP 6) The daughter board unscrewed and flippedover where you will be soldering.


STEP 7) The UpperPlastic Guide that must be removed to rotate the DM Module out of theTV set.


STEP 8) Get this wooden horizontal shelf out (4screws) and getting the upper plastic guide out becomes easy.


STEP9) Helpful Hint about the wooden shelf and the platic guide that bothneed to be removed.


I hope this helps
Thank you,

replace DM

The DM board is the one with the digital connectors on the back panel. If you already have it appart, you may as well check the caps on all of the boards. The caps that go bad are typically Jamicon brand caps in 1000 uF and 330 uF values. There are also a couple of 3300 uF caps in the PS that cause problems.

This part will cost you about 650 to 800 bucks my friend. if you have any soldering skills, and can follow directions, I posted a DM board fix. it may just be four small capacitors. Now this set that was used in the fix is not exactly like all the other Mitsubishi TV sets that still have a DM board, but if you can locate the DM board, follow the rest of the repair. if you do not know how to solder, do not take a chance, as this part is way too expensive to be experimenting around with. Get the Capcitors(there is a link there too for the capacitors)and take the DM board to a service shop, as this should not cost you a lot to have a pro do this for you.
