ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT REPAIR CENTRE

Turn the color all the way off---examine the screen to see if black and white or screen green in areas or whole screen.

The other possible issue is tint will not vary enough from green to purple when adjusted.

Two different issues--which do you seem to have?

Not worth attempting to fix and that is the reason it was tossed.

does it look ok with a DVD player or game console?

Find your reciept then call mitsubishi . if you purchased it less than 3 years ago mitsubishi will pay to have the expensive light engine replaced.

im thinking the set has a bad engine

Hello BlueKalel,

It looks like your green CRT is malfunctioning. You should try to see if the voltages are correct on the socket of the green CRT and check the high voltage on the green CRT using a high voltage probe. Use a schematic diagram to reference these voltages to.

I am positive that the problem is the green CRT or the circuitry leading to the green CRT. Please use caution when checking these voltages.

Thank you,

My first inclination would be to check the picture tube, especially if the set is over 7 years old. If it is not that, then anything from bad solder connections to capacitors or a defective IC could be the cause. If it's over 10 years old, replace it. No use flogging a dead horse.
