Hi name is Ernie, and i have a mitsubishi vs-50501a .... my problem is that the picture is out.. i got sound but no picture.. the problem started with the tv turning off after 15min. then i would turn it back on, 15min later it turned off again. So now it stays on but no picture.. let me know if i can fix it myself.. im mechanically incline.. thanks.

you need to buy a new lamp and replace the old one thats your only problem its about $200 for the lamp

most likly its your lamp you just need to get a new one off the internet or you can bring it to a repair shop and they will be able to replace it for alittle bit more then the lamp itself will cost

nedd to know how i can resolve this

they are fairly similar to each other, did you get a error code from the led by pressing menu and input both in together and holding for 5 seconds?

The VS5043 shuts down for many reasons. The most common are power supply issues. Bad caps, open resistors, shorted regulators, and missing voltages will cause the set to shutdown.
In my notesI have a location of components known to cause your problem( R5A03,L5A00,D5A21,Q5A04,Q5A03,C5A19,L902,IC900.IC700) All the parts listed are available. As I stated above there are many reasons for shutdown such as a bad flyback transformer that may not be available anymore. However, this type of failure needs to be properly diagnosed by a qualified technician. Good luck!

Check the vertcle yoke pins for solder cracks. Check verticle output circuitry resistors and transistors. And also check for Coolant leaks from the CRTs this happens alot. Check capacitors for any signs of sweeling or heat as well.
