Cleaning How do I clean rhe mirror and lens of my 2002 ws-55909? Its never been done. Please

If you are referring to the mirror and the sensor you can very carefully clean the mirror with an appropriate soft cloth. The sensor is a different problem. There are products available for you to clean the sensor yourself but unless you know what you are doing then my advice would be to have it done professionally. If you are referring to cleaning the outside if the camera then make sure the lens cap is on and gently go over it with a baby wipe.

Probably your lens causes this I think. Please check these.

1. Your lens may cause this. Change it and try again.If you do not have another lens then go on to check the next instrutions.
2. Check your lens AF button. It should be switched to AF.
3. Turn off and on the camera and try again.
4. Check your battery charging.
5. Your lens should be cleaned complitely. Please check its clearity.

I think it will work. But if it does not work properly again then your camera should be checked.

Clean your camera mirror. For this:
1. Turn off your camera.
2. Remove your lens.
3. Clean your mirror without using water or any other liquid or any other chemicals. Use only special cleaning liquid that is made for lens cleaning.
4. If it does not work then your camera body should be checked electronically and mechanically. This check can only be done with an authorized service tecnician. So you should send your camera to your service dealer.

WS-65413 is a Mitsubishi set first made in 2003. It uses three picture tubes and no lamp or bulb.

About the only problem these sets ever have in them is failure in the convergence circuit--it happens with age.

If the picture looks good about the only service they ever need is to have the lens on the three tubes cleaned about once a year--if the lens are dusty the picture will be somewhat darker and dull---gradual change--It also has a large mirror that depending on if you are in a dusty environment can be cleaned as well.

Usually the mirror because of the way it is mounted does not need cleaning. Two ways to do this:
If you just want to clean the lens turn the set off--UNPLUG IT and remove the back cover--you will see the three large black lens units---clean them with a lens cloth or a paper towel with glass cleaner sprayed on it.

The other way is tricky as you have to remove the entire front screen assembly--most of the time you have to remove the speaker grills, and inspection plate and unplug the front keyboard---four or five screws along the bottom of the screen unit secure it and with them out you lift the entire unit up(good idea to have 2 people do this and not flex it--you can dislodge the screens from the frame if you are not careful) and out.

What I usually do is remove the back cover and stick my head in and look at the mirror from the inside of the set--if it looks clean without grime or dust--let it be and just clean the lens.

If you want to improve the sets picture after you put everything back--go into the customer menu and select convergence--there will be instructions on screen telling you what to do--select advanced convergence and with the device or input button go to a unused video input----look at the grid of lines--if red or blue are off a little you can adjust with the Mitsubishi remote--the better the convergence is adjusted the better the set will look.

Usually if not any circuit problem---cleaning the lens, mirror, and adjusting the convergence is all that needs to be done.

when you take the lens off .. there is a mirror and the CCD array ... those can get dusty or if anyone smokes around the camera then that gets on these parts .. you can dust the mirror and CCD behind with a soft clean camel hair brush but a good cleaning should be done by a pro .. thats a "front surface mirror" .. that is, the mirror surface is not protected by glass the way mirrors normally are .. so it scratches very easy ... there are special techniques for cleaning that must be learned before attempting a deep cleaning .. the back side of the lens also may have a smoky coating that has to be cleaned .. again a pro is best but you can use a lens cleaning cloth and solution .. (dont spray the solution into the lens . only on the cloth .. with every thing clean your camera should be back to like new performance ..

Remove front speaker grill(s) at the bottom of the screen behind the speaker grill you will find four or more black screws hold the bottom in. Look carefully to see the front keyboard needs to be unplugged---usually one or two different size plugs; you may have to remove the inspection plate located in back of the speaker grill to get to the point where they can be disconnected, with the keyboard disconnected the entire screen lifts straight up(you need to bring it up 3-4 inches and then it comes straight out(there are two hooks on either side that it goes into--when you finish line up a little and slide it back until it is back in place.

Clean the mirror with glass cleaner and the lens can be cleaned with a lens cloth or with a paper towel with glass cleaner sprayed on it.



Replace the screws and the speaker grill unit for the set.

You need the WS55909 - WS73909 DM kit. You can get it at the following link which contains the capacitors and the CD with instructions on how to do the repair.

Have you tried pressing in the menu and input/device buttons both in together on the front of the set and hold them both in together for 5 seconds to see if the set will blink a two digit error code? Try that and then let me know if it blinked a code. Please reply to this same post when replying. Thanks

With age the quality of a tube set is decreased. But first when was the last time your lens and mirrors were cleaned.

Adjust convergents for blue.This is done with your remote control. go into menu, setup, instructions will come up on screen, also in manual.

the outside screen is called a linticular lens and the inside one is the fresnele lens. They both should come out together from the front as the trim on this set if im not mistaking pulls or slides off then theres mounting plates holding it on. Becarefull and dont try to clean the mirror as the coatings on the outside of the mirror. Also be very carefull not to touch any componets as theres extremly hi voltage in these sets even with them unplugged. Good Luck
