Sound takes up to an hour to come on, Mitsubishi 35'' tv

Do you see a small fan close to it? Is it gunked up with dust? It could be the bulb but it sounds like it isn’t getting cooled.

Hi,

Its a power supply issue.The only solution to fix this up is to get it repaired.

Goodluck..

Video board malfunctioning....Get a honest TV tech. Only three years old? It is worth repairing, will deliver several more years of excellent service. A quality television.

Tv LED light indication"LAMP" is flashing or staying on?Yes 2 years old projection lamp and watches tv daily 4 or 5 hours a day?Yes,it is time to replaced the tv projection lamp.

Are you connected to a Cable box? then make sure cable box is not on MUTE and audio cables are attached.
From MENU check to see that speakers are not disabled on your TV.

Good Luck

I called my cable company and they reset our digital box. Problem solved!

the vertical drive ic that drives the yoke for vertical sweep has blown.
sometimes it is solder problems like sharp and toshiba had.
the part is 10$ the pc board will label it ,the yoke is the coil setup on the picture tube.if you follow the wiring half goes to the horizontal drive,and the others to the vertical section.the chip drives the coil directly.there are VERY high voltages in there ,even turned off. the pix tube cap on top is 30000v. like a stun gun.the horizontal drive 2000 volts and the main power supply 165 volts dc high current.you need a special setup to discharge the picture tube.

Symptoms shows TV got problem in Horizontal deflection area that's why you do not see picture and get only sound.I think its not worth to repair as its 14 years old model and spear parts might not be available or cost too much. Since you still want to repair it, let me know exact model number of TV to check parts are available some where?

Good Day;

Look in owners manual pages 28-35, pay special attention to page 31 and make sure the antenna is connected to ANT-DTV input. Good Luck, big IRISH.

Sorry to be the one to inform you Sheri, but this set is known to have several bad capacitors in the sweep as well as the power supply. Unless you have an ESR type capacitor checker, your going to have to take it in for service, by a pro. Hope yopu did'nt pay to much for it. Good Luck
