Two things to look at---------the lamp to see if shattered inside AND with it removed look where it faces at the color wheel--see attached photo.
Look to see if any segments are broken, missing etc. Many of the wheels fail in this way and some will have a high pitched or even fan like sound before they fail.
Some when really bad will make a grinding noise also. The set monitors the speed of the wheel and if it slows or stops the set will almost instantly turn the lamp off(if possible watch from area where lamp is to see if at turn on to see if it for a moment lights or not.
They use an OPTICAL LIGHT ENGINE which the lamp shines directly into: the blue section (it has blue,red and green sections with lens and baffles) is the first to get hit by the light and its heat.
Commonly it burns that area (blue) first.
This is permanent damage and either the display chip has to be replaced (over 200 part and not a do it yourself replacement) or the entire engine has to be replaced.
Sony and similar brands have the same problem--Sony is fixing a lot of them even if out of warranty for free (class action lawsuit!).
This is a 98% certainty in your case.
You may want to contact Mitsubishi to see what if anything they will do.
You might not get a straight answer from them so GOOGLE the model number and research this on the internet-------

Try resetting the set, there is a reset on the front of the tv where the power button is located, just stick the point of an ink pen it it and it will reset itself, if this does not work make sure the lamp door is secure.
Replace the lamp, clean the fans, seen it a hundred times, I know "the lamp light isn`t blinking" replace your lamp and you`ll be back up & running, gl, video-tek
