This is a VZ3 chassis. From Mitsubishi for intermittent shutdown: 1. REPLACE L5A00,IF COIL IS WRAPPED IN BLACK TAPE,WITH PT#351P138020, (THE NEW COIL SHOULD BE WRAPPED WITH YELLOW TAPE).THIS IS LOCATED ON THE MAIN-PCB. From Mitsubishi for shutdown at power on: 1. SHORT DETECT SHUT DOWN (PIN 15 OF IC700) CHECK FOR OPEN L902 PART # 351P070010 OFF Q904 C (15 V SUPPLY) ON THE MAIN PCB. 2. CHECK FOR LEAKEY D5A21, PART # 264P045040, IN THE BEAM PROTECTION CIRCUIT ON THE MAIN PCB 3. CHECK D5A09, PART # 264P244030 OFF OF PIN 6 OF IC5A01 ON THE MAIN PCB. From Mitsubishi for beam current shutdown: 1. EXCESSIVE BRIGHTNESS, CHECK FOR LEAKY Q6R1 (RED CRT PCB), Q6G1 (GREEN CRT PCB) AND/OR Q6B1 (BLUE CRT PCB). PART # 260P267020 2. NORMAL BRIGHTNESS, CHECK FOR LEAKEY D5A21, PART # 264P045040, IN THE BEAM PROTECTION CIRCUIT ON THE MAIN PCB Also check for coolant leakage carefully, and I mean very carefully. I have seen several of these with very small leaks that were not evident at the tubes but only a little fluid on the board. There is a mod for jitter problems with sources with flaky sync. If you need it or any copies of the manual, contact me. Leonard G.

VS6043 Shutting off > > Hi everybody! > > Last night I stopped at a home with a shutoff problem on a Mitsubishi VS6043. I was late arriving and the customers both had to go to work so I only had 25 minutes which meant NOTHING accomplished. The set comes on when cold and plays perfectly for 15 minutes and then goes off. Set comes on again (without unplugging) after waiting a few minures but very quickly goes off. I searched for bad solder connections and went over a few but no luck. Anyone have a clue because this is one model that I honestly have very little experience with. > > TIA > > Gary > Valley TV > Berwick, Pa office > -- > _______________________________________________ > Sign-up for your own FREE Personalized E-mail at Mail.com > http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup > > **************************************************************************** * > The Tech Address Book: > http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/contact.html > Add a Repair Tip Here, or Change/Remove your Email Address: > http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/main.html > Lost Password: > http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Lost your Login Info?". > Email Archives: > //www.freelists.org/archives/techassist/ ***************************************************************************** The Tech Address Book: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/contact.html Add a Repair Tip Here, or Change/Remove your Email Address: http://www.tech-assist.org/secure/tip/main.html Lost Password: http://www.tech-assist.org and select "Lost your Login Info?".
