Mitsubishi WT-36809 turns on for 2 seconds and then turns off. The error code is 22. Any ideas?

Hi,
Please let me know if the blinks separated with a pause, if so first blinks is denoting the first digit then pause blinks again denoting the second digit. Example, if the error code is "22" the unit will blinks two times pause blinks 2 times and will repeat the error code. It will help to determine where the fault came from.

yes!

When you turn set on and power light goes out do the self check this set has.

On front of set when light goes out press and hold both the Menu and Input (device) buttons at the same time and hold both for at least five seconds and then release both.

Power light will blink a two digit error code like 2 blinks,2 blinks, a pause and repeat it several times.


Let me know what error code you find and I will tell you what it means. Make a comment here and I will assist you.

hi,
Error code 2-2 indicates "Short Protect Circuit" problem in tv.
Need to check pico fuses in power supply as one or two got blown due to bad convergence chips.
Below is an exploded view of tv chassis, power supply and convergence area has been marked to give you better idea to look for pico fuses.
Unplug tv from wall socket before to repair/check any thing inside tv.
Hope these info will help you.
Let me know if you have additional question.
Thanks.

Do the self check this model has.

When you turn it on and green power light goes out:

on front of set press and hold both the menu and input (or device) buttons at the same time for at least 5 seconds and release both buttons.

The power light will blink a two digit error code like 2 blinks, 2 blinks, a pause and repeat it several times.

Let me know what error code you find and I will tell you what problem is.

That is error code 22 which means the unit had a momentary recovery from a reset. You should unplug it for 30 minutes, then plug in and try it again. This will reset the fault and if there are no other problems the unit will work ok. Let me know if you need more help. Thanks for using FixYa and for the generous rating.

error 22 "short protect circuit"
Bad convergence IC, also replace 5A picofuse.

do the self check this model has and let me know what you find:

when it shuts off press ON THE FRONT OF THE TV both the menu and input (or device) buttons at the same time for at least five seconds and release both buttons.

The power light will blink a two digit error code.

for example---2 blinks, a pause and 2 blinks (this is the most common error code)

Let me know what code you find and I will tell you what it means and what can be done.

22 is a error code for a short protect which is triggering shutdown . Try unplugging the crt circuit boards and seeing if the fuses still blow when you press power.

error code 22 means short to ground. for a start check your power supply to see if anything is shorted to the ground.
