Mitsubishi 1080i HDTV has sound but no picture. Goes through all the menus fine but no picture on any antenna input. Mitsubishi Model WS-55807 Made December 2000

Can't get a reception

WS-55809---with the original remote(with the set first turned on) hit 0, then 1, then 7, then 0 and then enter

you will see the option---cursor to it and hit enter again

A COUPLE of things occur to me--Some of these sets had a problem with coolant leaking from one of the picture tubes--there is a sealed unit for each tube with Glycol--clear liquid like anti freeze but much more concentrated and TOXIC!

You may want to remove the front speaker grill and inspection plate behind it and look carefully across the front of the three main boards--it will appear as a discoloration of any parts on the boards-it does not take a lot to do fatal damage to the board--if you see any actual liquid on the board--do not touch it--you have to look mostly at the first few inches from the front of the boards--if you do not find any Glycol signs I have only one other suggestion:

All these sets have a hard reset that will put the set back to the condition it was when new and in the box---any labels on inputs will be removed and the set will turn off and then come back on channel 3 in the air band---you would have to put it into the cable band and autoprogram the channels again----


Take your time and look for any discoloration of parts on the boards---if glycol---solder connections will not shine but be discolored. (may look a little like battery cable in a car that has corrosion)

Let me know what you find and if you want to try the reset let me know and I will tell you how to do it for this model.
