Flickering blue picture

If I'm getting that 1 - 2 code back, could it still be an error with the DM board or light engine? Also, I noticed that the component inputs don't change the screen at all (it flickers blue whether they are on or off and that device is selected from the TV menu) but the antenna and HDMI inputs produce a picture, but very distorted with horizontal lines etc. If I'm getting that 1 - 2 code back, could it still be an error with the DM board or light engine?

I'm very handy, and though I don't have experience with electronics, my friend is willing to help and he has pretty extensive experience with electronics. I'd love for you to walk us through it.

I have the same exact problem I think. Same error code, same blue with light blue background and no change in inputs even if there is a signal. I have the same exact problem I think. Same error code, same blue with light blue background and no change in inputs even if there is a signal.

I attended ITT for about a year, I would like to try to perform the job myself...I can handle soldering capacitors and things like that, but dont have a lot of diagnostic or "fluke" type meters Im afraid.

Have the same problem... the tv is only two years old, and unfortunately outside of the warranty. Any suggestions? Have the same problem... the tv is only two years old, and unfortunately outside of the warranty. Any suggestions?

I'm having this problem as well. One minute it was working fine the next I had a blue screen. I can't get any picture from tuner or video inputs (composite nor component). The menu displays but with flickering horizontal lines.



I let it sit a few days and turned it back on now I get just black screen and it shuts off after about a min and the lamp LED is now orange.



Hoping this is a common / known issue that I can try to fix (I am quite experienced with electronics and have access to a well-equipped lab). Would appreciate some expert advice!



Thanks

I seem to be having the same problem and don't have any experience with eletronics, and I am more interested in NOT getting ripped off by a service center, any suggestions? The TV picture is Blue with distortion lines all over it and I can read that it says underneath the distortion that I should "Check the connections or power. The connections for RGBHV or YPrPB may be invalid." This problem doesn't go away when I change input feeds. I consider myself handy and would try fixing myself but don't want to mislead you about any experience I have. Thanks for the Help?

Same freakin problem, Lamp cuts on for 5 sec turns off and constant red.After reading about the same problems on here, took it upon myself to diagnois.Got to the Pwr board ,sure enough two bulging capacitors.c9a37 & c9a38 and im a plumber by trade. But know nothing about soldering copacitors. Should i have them all changed, now that i have the freakin thing apart ? Or should it be a recall on this model ? New lamp engine, new software, and now this. 3 grand for this TV, only had it for 3yrs.

Same problem exactly. If I have only had the TV 2 years and so many people have had the same problem, has anyone tried to get Misubishi to repair it? It sounds like a manufacturer defect to me.

I am having the same problem. Just happened last night 04/01/08 no April Fools!!! I had perchased the TV March 22nd, 2005 and my luck let the warranty expire through GE. What can be the solution other than spending an arm and a leg to fix the dang thing.

I had the same flickering blue screen. Now the lamp will not power on. Has anyone had success approaching Mitsubishi about a recall? I had the same flickering blue screen. Now the lamp will not power on. Has anyone had success approaching Mitsubishi about a recall?

I have a 52525 that has had the DM board replaced and now Mits wants the tech to send the whole chassis back to them to rebuilt it. They are out of spare parts and have to rebiuld the chassis. Thank God I had the extended warranty. They rented me a new 42" plasma while my 52525 get fixed. I We have been without our 52525 for a month now. This is a major problem that Mits needs to step up on. I will never buy another Mits. Not sure I would take a free one too. GE has the extended warranty. I wonder how much the will spend before they just buy me a new set. I have a 52525 that has had the DM board replaced and now Mits wants the tech to send the whole chassis back to them to rebuilt it.

OH MY We went on vacation and the house sitter told us the good news when we came home. Blue screen in center and flickering. I checked the lamp filter and it was not that dirty. I reset the unit and unplugged it and plugged it back in. Now the Lamp light is lit solid Red. I looked at the lamp and it looked ok. Now the T.V starts up, the red lamp light comes on and the T.V. Shuts off. 
Seems like many folks had this same problem. Is it the lamp or is it something else. Msg on T.V. said: Check connections or Power. The connector for RGBHV or YPRPB may be invalid.....  Oh my SubZero fridge also died while we where gone.... another 6k!

It took the repair guy 2 seconds to say I had the same power supply dm problem as everyone else here. The Fix is very simple. Once I get the written invoice I will call Mitsubishi Customer relations and tell them that they are paying for the repair not me. They used crapy boards in the unit and everyone in the world is having the same issue. Don't bother trying to repair it yourself that is just damn silly folks.  It took the repair guy 2 seconds to say I had the same power supply dm problem as everyone else here. The Fix is very simple.

I had the Exact same problem but just a day later it all changed from the blue and squiggly liines, to a black screen and red light one under LAMP. I have order a new lamp form Mitsuparts.com and that still did not fix it. The green power light comes one but after about 15-20 seconds it turns red again, the reset button does not help. And Mitsu help center suggested I wait an hour, unplug the TV for that long, take out the lamp and install it again, but that did not work either. Any suggestions?
