Mitsubishi CS-27205 shrunken picture

Sounds like the picture tube is burnt out. It can happen when the television is left in direct sunlight. There is no cure for it, you can however put in a darker area and over time it may clear itself up.

Hello phillip and welcome to FixYa. A possible easy solution would be to power offf the television and unplug it. You should leave it unplugged for about 15 minutes. This Should remove the parental control screen and solve your problem. I hope this solution works out for you and good luck.

It is an indication of leaky electrolytic capacitor on the vertical section.
This is not a diy if you are not an expert.
I've adviced you to look for a qualified technician to replaced the faulty capacitor.
This is quite fixable and easy to locate by the technician.

pls rate my help...

Thanks for using fixya.

bad connections on vertical output ic

CHECK RESISTORS ON CRT BOARD .THE BOARD IS MOUNTED AT THE BACK OF PICTURE TUBE .

There is a fuse in tvs I've had to change one myself

The problem is in the vertical section of the main board. Bad capacitors and maybe the vertical IC. If you are not inclined to be a tech you will have to take it to a shop.. I don't know what they may charge but I normally get $69- $89

Hopefully someone on here has a manual and can tell you exactly where the tint controls are. Also need to try adjusting the color level, turn it clear down so you have a black and white picture.
Is the picture still green over the screen with the color control
set clear down to black and white? If it does, you might
have an issue with the green gun going out or problem in the
circuitry to it.


By the way, the best way to adjust the picture settings on a
tv are to first turn the color control clear down, then adjust
brightness and contrast for best black and white picture, then
bring up the color level to where it should be and adjust the
tint for best red/green ratio.

Hello Barbara76,
Is this a Horizontal line (inch or two) across the screen, if so
the fault could be either a faulty Vertical IC,Faulty Electrolytic
capacitors or just simple dry joints.

The quick horizontal line through the center of the screen usually denotes a failure in the vertical output circuit, and that would keep the set from staying on. You would have to take it to a repair shop for repair.
