Question about Mitsubishi WS48511 48" Rear Projection Television
We have had this TV for several years and have no problems except recently. It first started when we would turn the tv on and the picture would bounce a lot, until about 30 or 40 minutes and then it would be fine. Someone told us to leave the tv on because that was a problem with the projection tv's. So we have been leaving the tv on but turning off the satellite when we turn the satellite back on it's starts the bouncing again and it can take up to two or three hours for it to stop. Sometimes we don't turn neither one off and the bouncing starts. Does anyone know what this might be and how much it costs to repair? thanks.
I have seen this symptom a lot recently. There is a 9 volt regulator on the small signal board, and the output voltage on this IC has dropped down to about 8 volts, which causes that symptom. Replacing that regulator should cure your problem, and when I make a housecall for a set like that I charge $150, although I hear that the average service center charges a lot more than that. I also believe that it is never a good idea to leave a projection TV on all the time, so whoever told you that has no idea what they are talking about.
