Question about Mitsubishi WD-62327 62" Rear Projection HDTV-Ready Television
I replaced the blown bulb and the tv worked for about 12hrs then shut down. I thought the replacement bulb might be bad so I exchanged it for a new one. I installed the new one and when I turned the tv on it still shuts down within 15 seconds and the red light flashes. If I turn the tv on with the bulb out of the tv it doesnt shut down. The manufactured date is May 2005.
The problem could be in dad board on top on the light engine.Any problems with the DAD board or the light engine will cause the unit to go into shut down. Replacement of the light engine usually includes the dad board. I know for fact that a number of Samsung DLPS have bad light engines and the use Texas Instrument LGs. You should have this verified by a professional technician. These light engine assembly's can be very expensive. Scrivitron

It sounds like you have a bad ballast board, or possibly the power supply going to the ballast bulb. I'm afraid that if you do not have the repair experience on solid state TV sets, you will need to contact and authorized Mitsubishi repair center. Good Luck

Well I know that the problem is the thermal reed switch. It's attached to the heat sink (along with a small fan) that is behind (I believe) the DLP Chip. If I unplug the thermal reed switch and jumper the plug going into it the tv works just fine. Also when I measure the reed switch it's open. My problem is trying to find the switch. It's made by a company named Tokin. Tokin seems to be part of NEC. I have found a few companies that sell in large quantities. Anyone know where I can buy just one?
