Blinking Green Light Mitsubishi TV

That is called the "Parpadeo luz verde de la muerte" or Blinking green light of death. You may want to make sure all the wires are tight first and that when you moved it a cable wasn't seated. Instead of replacing the capacitors, your situation sounds more like bad solder connections on the DM module. Here is a link to a web forum where they talk about this exact problem.http://www.highdefforum.com/rear-projection-tvs/58189-blinking-green-light-death-frequent-prob-w-mitsubishi-rear-proj-widescreens.html Blinking Green Light of ***** frequent prob Mitsubishi rear proj...

Good luck Mark

the problem is in the DM module there are caps that break down and vent and cause this problem
the caps are replaceable we use a higher temp and grade cap in servicing them
but i understand a place called tv world .com sells these kits and a cd on how to if you have the tools to do this

Hi the cartridge's work is to hold the lamp in place it will not go faulty or melt or will prevent tv from lighting up.Did you close the door cover on the back properly.Did you reset the lamp timer? Do it by unplugging tv wait 5 min and plug it back again.Pay attention to clicking sounds or like wanting to turn on it could be a bad ballast and that's the board that powers the lamp.Hopefully you dont have "The green light of death" Issue. It tells all about it here http://www.highdefforum.com/rear-projection-tvs/58189-blinking-green-light-death-frequent-prob-w-mitsubishi-rear-proj-widescreens.html Good luck and God bless you!

you need the V26 DLP DM repair kit at the following link. The kit contains the replacement capacitors and the cd with instructions.

it sounds like the bglod (blinking green light of death). this chassis is a rough one to take care of. check out www.tv-techs.com

I had this similar problem TWICE!!!. I called around for a repairman and they charged over $300 dollars to repair (HELL NO). Anyways I took a trip to Vegas hoping to win some of the money to repair it and left the TV plugged in and BLINKING during my trip. When I came back it was not blinking anymore and I got curious. Well I pressed the power button and to my surprise IT TURNED ON!!!!. A month later I moved to a different house and unplugged my TV to move it and when I plugged it in the DAMN BLINKING GREEN LIGHT OF DEATH was back. Well I thought I'd get lucky again and leave the blinking on, well 2 days later the blinking was gone and ONCE AGAIN MY TV WAS ON...... I hope this helps and works for other people. My point is, before you pay for a technician to repair it and before you give up on your TV and unplug it, Try leaving it on BLINKING for a few days and see what happens.

GOOD LUCK GUYS.

I found this bit helpful (look at my comments at end):

My Mitsubishi WS-55613 (55" rear-projection HDTV) died Saturday, just when I tried to turn on the UNC/Kentucky game. It was exhibiting what I'd seen described before (found at another online HDTV forum) as what appears to be a very frequent problem that occurs in Mitsubishi rear-projection widescreen HDTV's, referred to as "The Blinking Green light of Death". This refers to the green LED on the front panel of the TV that normally blinks when turned on after a power failure or when unplugged: the green light is supposed to flash for about 1 minute while both microprocessors boot up: If it won't stop blinking it means that they aren't communicating w/each other, and you ain't got no TV to watch...

About a year ago, I'd noticed and saved an article describing this issue, along with a repair procedure to replace the four (apparently inadequate) 1000uF/16 volt power supply capacitors in the "DM module" (one of the two onboard microprocessors). These capacitors are apparently undersized, in that they will eventually fail (usually after about 3 years) if and inevitably when there are voltage fluctuations in the circuit above 16 volts. (If you Google: "Mitsubishi + Blinking Green Light of Death", it's amazing how many other Mitsubishi rear-projection TV owners have experienced this problem.) It is recommended to install either 1000uF/25 volt or 1000uF/35 volt capacitors as replacements, so that they will be more than ample to handle any voltage spikes that will occur.

Since I have little/no experience repairing printed circuit boards, I was a bit intimidated to try this on my own, but was motivated by the one person at that forum that said he'd had to pay $600+ for the replacement DM module his set needed, along with about $150 for installation.

I went online to another HDTV forum and this time found two similar "fix" articles describing the same problem and correction, and one of these articles came complete with photos depicting the repair procedure. This led me to believe that this might actually a legit repair, as others had posted that they'd successfully repaired their TV's w/this procedure. On Sat. night I went to Radio Shack, bought the (4) 1000uF/35 volt capacitors recommended as replacements (they were out of the 1000uF/25 volt caps), and after taking the back of the TV apart and removing the faulty DM module, got my girlfriend Rene to help hold the DM module's printed circuit board while I desoldered the old capacitors and installed the new ones. (She was a remarkably patient assistant, I might add...)

Much to my dismay, after getting the TV put back together enough (I thought) to test it at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, it would still not work, and exhibited the same "Blinking Green Light of Death". I went to bed VERY disappointed...

Sunday morning, I set about taking it BACK apart, to see if I'd done something wrong or left something disconnected. I then realized that since I'd not installed the back cover plate for the DM module, which has (apparently critical!) grounding straps essential to the proper functioning of the DM module - the DM was not getting proper grounding. My brother, (who is an electronics tech for a local LED lighting manufacturer) came over before I reassembled the TV and also found a couple of "solder bridges" on a couple of the DM's printed circuit board components (sloppy soldering), which he feels might have also contibuted to the failure of the original power supply capacitors. I put it all back together again, plugged it in, and it fired right up!

NOTE:
I went ahead and ordered a full kit online. Came with service manuals for the set and detailed pictures of how to do the repairs. Took me about 2 hours, but my Mitsubishi is up and running! contact:
