I have a 27" Mitsubishi television from the mid 90's that will not turn on reliablely.
One must turn it on dozens of times before it will stay on.
I have noticed that it is used often, the problem goes away while if it is not used for weeks the problem becomes more severe.
I have checked the archives and it does sound like the known capacitor problem with Mitsubishi sets of the 90's raising its ugly head.
While the set is a very nice set which works great after getting it turned on and it does have sentimental value, I seriously doubt that it is worth going through if one needs to replace hundreds of caps.
The main question I have for the group is does anyone know why the set refuses to turn on? Does anyone know the failure mode that is going on? Is this a common symptom? My sister had a similar set of comparable age with the same problem.
Thanks for any advice.
