I have a Mitsubishi Projection TV Model No. VS-458R S serial 009717. It says manufactured July 1986 M1LA. The picture went out and I decided to get rid of it. I have disasembled it for the trash and to recycle the scrap metal. I am now at a part that says x-ray critical. Is there any danger to this part or others in this TV> Can it all be placed in the general trash?

1. CHECK BASE BIAS VOLTAGE OF Q217, FOR 0 VDC (BIASED OFF) IF .7 VDC (BIASED ON) CHECK C268 (22 UFD 50 V) OFF C OF Q215 V-PROTECTOR ON THE SIGNAL PCB.

Model VS-45501A  probably not worth fixing at around 400.00
for a convergence circuit overhaul......T.

they are fairly similar to each other, did you get a error code from the led by pressing menu and input both in together and holding for 5 seconds?

Not exactly familiar with this model but sounds like the projector lamp is burned out. Hopefully it's a replaceable type. Try calling these people - http://www.purelandsupply.com

If this Tv is a model year 1996 or 1998, It is quite possible your vertical IC needs resoldered. It is located on the small signal board. This board [quite large anyway] is the board on the left. I don't know the location off hand. The IC has seven pins and located on a heatsink, It is a TDA series. Resolder any and all grounds you see. May as well get the Large Signal board [On the right] resoldered. The other problem would be the P I P board, a small board standing up, that can be removed and replaced. But try the earlier first. This is tedious, but will produce results.
