SOUND BUT NO PICTURE

Sound like what happened when my lamp went out of my projection tv.

if your within 1yr, you can get a lamp replacement from mitsuparts.com or calling mitsu... make sure that you can get a redlight under the lamp and you already reset the TV.

with Sony this is an indication the lamp is going out, could be no outward appearance that the lamp is bad.

First thing is to check the lamp. you can easily change this yourself.

yes 3x its lamp cover no doubt. ballast supply will give different error on this unit. this should help hdtv man

Can you please supply us with the make and model as well as the blink count of the green light. That count should be indicating the problem circuit. Once that info is posted, we should be able to give you more details and possible solutions.

If you have sound and no picture, I would first check your lamp this is most likely your problem . Sometimes even if the lamp appears not to be blown it is still not functioning. Let me know if this helps and we can go from there.

Here's something that might also be useful. After you turn on the set, and get the regular red blinky lights, hold down the Device and Menu buttons together for about 5 seconds.
The Power light will start to flash in a two digit sequence.

For example, 3 flashes, then 7 flashes = 37.

Here are the error codes, and the corresponding problem:

12 = No error detected, check power supply.
32 = Lamp Cover is open.
33 = Air filter cover is open.
34 = Lamp abnormality
36 = Light Engine (DMD or Lamp Fan stopped)
37 = Exhaust or Lamp Ballast Fan stopped
38 = Lamp Temperature High
39 = DMD Temperature High
41 = Short is detected
44 = DVI cable between FMT and Engine disconnected

YOU HAVE AN INTERNAL TUNER FAILURE IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED
