Registered warranty My television has a pink screen most of the time. The picture comes and goes.Also the television turns on and off on its own once it has been turned on. Does my warranty cover this? Is there something I can do to fix it here. I have my serial #, etc... Thank you for your help.

Hello Cathy, The "AF" means auto focus, The pink screen and the lines are a camera fault, you are going to need the camera checked to see what the internal problem is, it is not something that you are doing wrong, it is the camera.

If using a box for signal disconnect it from power for a while to see if when it reboots this issue is gone or not.

could be a colot wheel gone bad or stuck

Sounds like the light engine is going...costs as much as a whole new set. May have to get a service man to have a quick look at it to be sure. Scrap the set if it is the light engine and buy an LCD or Plasma. They won't last as long as this set did...

First check your cord from the computer to the monitor to make sure the connections are clean and good on the blue vga cord. Plugging it in and out a few times will help clean the pins and holes.
If that is ok: then it may be bulbs.
Pink means that you have bad bulbs inside the screen. sometimes the pink goes away when the bulbs warm up. eventually it won't stay on.
There is a slight chance the power board is also getting weak. You would have to open it up to tell this.
Once partially opened, Disconnect the wide set of wire that goes from the back of the screen to the monitors main video board and then try to turn it on, If it is still bulbs they will really show up with this setup.
If you send me a picture of the power board to bammbamm@ptd.net, I may be able to tell if the board has issues by looking at the picture of it.

since dlps use a color wheel to make the color the color wheel may be going out. get it serviced

Does it look like a 3D image?
Would you be able to post a picture of the TV with the mention lines?

FIVE Blinks---AKB circuit (AKB), the timer/standby indicator blinks for about
30 seconds then goes to the self-diagnosis function. Something is wrong with
the video. Check video out, Q705, 732, 761 and other components on the C
board, also check Q218, 219, 220 on the A board. Also unit be in IK blanking,
try turning up screen slightly.

I have seen several LG plasma that have a pink picture and everytime it has been a failed control pwb. This bd is located under the assembly that houses the main digital bd. The main dig. bd is the one with all of the inputs.

If the pink overlay goes away gradually, you could have weak picture tubes (CRT's) If the color jumps in after warming up, it could be a bad solder connection. If you haven't had a good picture to watch for a long time, I would be tempted to put the money towards a new HDTV set as those older Mitsubishi Rear Projection TV's had a Lot of bad solder connections in the past, and by fixing one problem another could crop up in the near future.
