We have a rear projection Mitsubishi TV, Model # WS-55511.We had a power outage last night and when the power came on this morning, we cannot get the TV 'ON'.There is however the TIMER light on the TV keeps blinking but when the power button on the TV is pressed there is no response.Please guide us to reset the TV.Time Warner has already been contacted and they have indicated that there is no problem at their end.We are connected through their Motorola Model DCX3400 digital box.

if the green power light just blinks that is one issue==========if the green power light does not come on at all suspect a fuse----follow the power cord (set unplugged) into the set and plug in ac fuse is right there.

If you have the blinking light that will not stop it means the DM unit in the set was damaged and that is expensive.

If you need more information or have questions let me know with a comment here.

Please confirm tv model number as question shows its Mitsubishi WS-55511 rear projection tv.
This info will help me to suggest a solution.

rforester,

This model Mitsubishi has some capacitor problems with the DM board and the power supply. See my tip at http://www.fixya.com/support/r7065906-mitsubishi_turn_flashing_power_timer which explains the problem and where to get the parts to repair your unit.

Thanks for using FixYa and for the great rating.

I have a 26 year old TV... It is a RCA color track 2000. it will not turn on. Can anyone help?????

Hi,
Most likely it is capacitors on the dm board that have gone bad. This is a fairly common problem and has been addressed on fixya many times. If you know someone who is good with soldering and technically incline or even an honest electronics guy then the repair is quite cheap. If you have any other questions please let me know. if its not the capacitors on the DM supply then its a problem with the whole DM assembly that part usually is around 300$. So you may want to consider purchasing a new tv. Trying the 7 caps on the dm supply board shouldn't cost much if it takes anything more then that. I would sell the tv on craigslist or ebay and recoup as much as you can towards your next tv.
thank you,

Replace Both of your STK ICs they are big black ICs will have Part number on them Call Mats 1-800-628-1118 example STK392-570

Thats an easy fix. The capacitors on the DM are known to fail . You can get the WS48511 - WS65511 DM repair kit at the following link which contains the replacement capacitors and the instructions on how to do the repair on CD which also contains the Service Manual

Hi,

You may have a blown fuse. Unplug the TV and remove the back. Look for a small fuse near where the power cord goes in.
If it is blown that may be the problem.
Use a magnifying glass to read the AMP rating.
replace the fuse and plug it in. If the fuse blows again you need expert repair services.

If the fuse doesn't blow then try to turn it on.
If it turns on then check the operation of the TV.

If the fuse blows again or the TV won't work correctly then you need expert repair service to fix your TV.

You may be able to have your household insurance pay if it is damaged by lightening or a power surge.
