Have a Mitsubishi Big Screen, Model VS-5043 (AC 120V, 60H, 210W), and get no picture. I believe all I need are bulbs. Think it's worth a try to get them or should I have a repair guy get a look-see?

Hi dejjjavuu,

You have 50% chance that it is a bulb problem but you have a ballast board that supply the bulb also. The problem is, this board needs to check with an experienced technician for fault. But for me I've suspected also the bulb most especially if the unit is more than a year old, you can't test this bulb unless swap a new working bulb in the ballas board that's why you need to call an expert. However if you have a spare bulb you can swap it and try.

Hope I helped you.

Have a nice day!

Thanks for using Fixya.
