Mitsubishi Rear Projection - VS-50607

1. Capacitors, from a few to several of them, maybe more than 100, depends on specific model and age of Mitz. Use a good ESR meter, magnifying glass, and smell test to weed out as many as possible.
2. Crt coolant leak. Use a good light and inspect for coolant damage to the boards. The board may be damaged beyond repair in which case a call to Mitz customer service will be in order, they might help. It will have to be diagnosed by a Mitz authorized servicer for the official diagnosis if this is the case.

None the less, I would suggest you call on a Mitz RPTV well experienced shop and technician to do the job that has the service manual and experience. It may cost $300-$400 but the set is worth the effort to have it fixed completely and correctly.

Not likely on this model. Maybe a handfull of bad caps at the most. If any, you might find a low voltage regulator filter cap, but the Mits sets with large numbers of capacitors were several chassis designs prior to this one.

This would be my bet with that kind of symptom. These sets have had lots of coolant leaks but relatively few problems besides that. Rare that a set that is still working to this degree would have a board that is damaged beyond repair. We fix them all the time. It is good advice to go to someone who is familiar with these sets and has repaired lots of set with leaks. It can make the difference between a diagnosis of unrepairable and a reapir cost of $200-$400.

In this particular case is is an electrolytic filter located right near the jungle IC. Just had one. Very few other bad caps in this specimen.
