Mitsubishi VS 5041 rear projection

your set is not a DLP its a traditional rear projection tv set and has three picture tubes
there is not a bulb or color wheel in this model
if its dead ? you would need to check the power supply first to see if you have the proper voltages . the trouble shoot the rest of the circuits to see what is shutting it down . convergence circuit failure is always a good suspect in these sets

just re-read the trouble-shooting section of your owners manual and check the setup on your remote

there a one or more defective tube needs to be replaced is typical efect when is tube end of life.

just go to mits site and download the manual. i have a mits too and your manual is there. just use all info u have to search.

Hi, did you try a color convergence? I used to work in Best Buy and one of the key things about rear projection TVs and the reason they push those service plans on you is that the tubes/colors need to be calibrated each year. You can do this yourself by checking out the following website:

Hope this helps :) 

Get the projection bulb checked if fine its something internal in your tv but i think you need new bulb

i don't know about the dip switch, but the ir receiver board in this mitsu is located in front of the mirror behind the screens

if you know someone with a dish network remote they have a cancel button.... i had the same problem and fixed it this way

do you get a blinking red or green light?>

Your problem is one and or 2 differant problems. The power regulator could have went bad because of the convergence IC have shorted. Seen this a thousand(easy that!)Times. All parts in this set are soldered in and are not user serviceable. look in your owners manual or call 800-332-2119 to get an authorized servicer to come and look at your problem . I wish i could tell you what to replace but theres the Extreme Hi voltage inside these sets even when they are not plugged in .. Good Luck
