Status light on, tv will not respond

You have bad LED backlights

Don't open up the TV. You may regret it. Unplug the set for 5 minutes....not just shut off....uplug the power plug from power source and replug after 5 minutes. It may need resetting.

I have a Mitsubishi WD73642 model which I'm having a problem with it turning off. When power is turned on the status light flashes green and appears to be powering up. Then u hear sound. Picture comes on light turns sold green then within a minute the El TV will just turn off no other dianososis lights. TV is not located too close to the Wall. Any ideas why?

Hello!
First: disconnect any signal source from your TV, including cable. Unplug TV off the wall or power strip. Let it sit for a minute or two. Plug power back in. TV might turn on itself, might not. Depends on configuration. Turn it on manually, using set's "power" button. Observe the behavior. Lines? TV need repair! Not an armature job. Lines gone? start to connect signal sources back, starting with cable. Observe the picture. No lines? Proceed to the next source: DVD player, and so on. At some point lines might return. Make note, what source causes the problem. Then, you may know what to do next.
good luck,
Alex.

Unplug the tv for about a minute - plug it in and press the reset button on the front of the tv - hold it until the light blinks. The set should come on in a minute of two - if not try the same routine again.

The easiest thing to do is switch off the power at the wall socket, or disconnect the plug completely. Then leave everything off for 5 minutes. After that reconnect and there is a very good chance the set will respond.

It looks like your ballast board is going bad, this is a common problem for DLP TV's the ballast board is the power source to the lamp and if for any reason this board does not send enough energy to the lamp it will turn off, It looks like your ballast it starting to get weak it gathers enough energy to turn on but gets weak again and turn back off you have a new lamp and it requires for the ballast to be working at it's full potential

Is the status light yellow or red? If it is yellow, then check the dust filter cover. That cover might be off or not secure. If the status light is red and blinking, then try unplugging the TV for a minute. If the error doesn't resolve the TV needs service. If it is out of warranty, you might want to open up the set and look for any obvious problems on the circuit boards (scorch marks, soot, bulging or leaking capacitors (look like cylinders on tripods)).

I hope this helps.
