Question about Mitsubishi VS-55705 55" Rear Projection Television

Older rear projection tv

I have an older rear projection Mitsubishi tv. I have sound, but every once in awhile the picture would just go out. Sometimes it will come right back on after a few mintues, then there have been times I cut it off for awhile and then it will come back on. There are times when I've had to leave it off for a whole day and it would stay on for a month or more. Is it a fuse or connection wire loose?

I have the identical model, purchased in early 2000. I had the same issue, and called Mitsubishi service. Turns out there is a known problem with the video power supply. Mine was under warranty when it was repaired (in 2002), but by now yours probably is not. I recall the repair guy did the fix with no parts, just a soldering iron. If you're handy, you can probably get the details from MITS service and try the repair yourself. If not, I suggest the repairman route.

your problem is most probably in convergence circuit. very common for this model to have convergence output i.c.'s go bad also possible that a fused resistor or two has failed.

Mitsubishi 57" HDTV - has sound and timer light flashes

I had the same problem and my local repair guy soldered a defective sensor so that it goes around that problem. I also had to buy a new bulb. Now my picture is "cloudy" and the repairman has no idea why. I am waiting for them to call back on it.

Mitsubishi VS-50800 on/off problem

It sounds like, and I'm only making an educated guess here, but I'm thinking your television is broken and you should probably get a new one if you want to continue watching television.

I have the old 55 inch Mitsubishi TV (model VS-55705). We recent moved and since then the picture has started to flicker. Initially we would leave the TV on for about 2 hours and the picture would sta I am thinking it is the bulb. The buld must have worn off. Not sure though.

Ours is a Mitsubishi Model#VS-55705 purchased in October 1999. It's a 55" rear projection t.v.. The problem we are having is that when we turn the set on - we have black parallel lines rolling down the screen. When it initally started this would happen only until the set warmed up. Now it lasts for 3 to 4 hours after turning on and will occasionally start doing it after viewing for awhile. Otherwise the picture clarity and color are fine. Any suggestions as to what is wrong with it? how much it will cost for me to fix it?

When we first start watching the piture is clear and everything functions properly. Now there are redlines that move verticaly through the picture, getting progressivly worse. The first time this happened the TV actually turned off and would not turn back on. We unplugged it for about a week, and tried it again. This time the picture lasted less before the red lines appeared. At that point we turned it off and unplugged it. Any ideas with these symptoms?
