TV has sound - No picture - New Lamp & Ballast
Posted: Thu Oct 20, 2011 6:33 pm
I have a Mitsubishi WD-60737 DLP with sound but no picture. (Solid Red light on front panel) The TV was working fine, until one day we heard a pop & it shut down when the lamp blew out - I replaced the lamp (original one was blown w/ glass all inside of it) & the screen came on the first time I started it after the new lamp was installed & the tv worked fine, but the next time I went to start it, sound came on but no picture for a few minutes, & then the tv shut off & the red light came back on & the screen/lamp would not start up - The new Mitsubishi lamp is still good, so I researched on the internet & it said to try changing the ballast, which powers the lamp - I ordered the correct ballast & installed it, but this did not fix the problem & the issue remains...Red light on front panel after a few minutes, tv has sound but no picture. (Occasionally when you try to turn it on, there is no sound & no picture, & every once in a while I can get it to come on fine for whatever reason, but it does not work again once we shut it off) I have tried resetting it many times, but the problem remains. We bought this tv new & have only had it about 1 1/2 years.
Could it possibly be the main power supply? Any help at this point would be truly appreciated!
Thanks a million for any help!!!
