Ed, with my Netscape message search, I found 18 results for "Mitsubishi pip" from saved messages I have kept. see below: Gary McCartney McCartney Electronics Guelph Ontario Canada Est. 1984 email: gary (at) number63.ca -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- here's the pinouts for a successful bypass surgery on mga big screens and the 27 in tv's that use the same pip brd. ALL ON VP BOARD Y= WIRE 7 & 9 TOGETHER CHROMA= WIRE 5 & 11 TOGETHER ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There has been sooo much on this already, but here it is again. Per Mits tech-support, Change C7001 (4.7uF35V), C7014 (47uF35V), C7026 (4.7uF35V), and C7036 (4.7Uf35V). Due to etch damage, install a jumper from C7001+ to Q7007 emitter. To bypass the PIP module for verification, remove module and TEMPORARILY install a jumper (on main pcb) between VP connector (11 pin) pins 5 and 11 for no more than 5 minutes. Extension cables for troubleshooting the module are: P/N 859C432040 (11 pin) $15 P/N 859C432030 (13 pin) $15 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Here it is, I will try it in a day or two Gabe Thanks Bil and others MITSUBISHI PTV PIP BOARD BYPASS THE BAD BOARD Wire a 4.7uf 50v cap from pin 5 to pin 11(pos. to pin 5), and a .01uf 50v ceramic disc from pin 7 to pin 9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Remove "Vp" Plug From Pip Mod.Install .01 From Pin 7 To Pin 9 Install 4.7/35-50v;Pos.To Pin 5,Neg. To Pin 11 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Re: Mitsubishi PIP module 930B552~~~: The following info has been tested and used by our facility, but is presented for use at your own risk. Assuming your module has been declared scrap, takeplug "VP" from it.(if plug is not available, remove socket from pcb and install caps thru board.) Install .01 mfd capacitor from pin 7 to pin 9. Install 4.7 mfd @ 35-50vdc electrolytic capacitor + lead to pin 5, - lead to pin 11. That's it! Plug in your modified plug assy. and stable Y/C is restored. Keep in mind that this is a very basic modification. It restores use of the set at low cost, however, if the customer selects PIP on his remote, the PIP info display will still appear with no PIP block. Perhaps one of you could take this mod to the next level and eliminate the PIP character display as well. Made up ahead of time and kept in your service vehicle makes many Mitsu calls one visit completes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you have decided that the pip board is scrap, remove "VP" plug from pip module. On the plug that you removed install .01 from pin 7 to pin 9. install 4.7/35v positive to pin 5 negative to pin 11. Put the altered plug back on the chassis. of course don't re install the pip board. Repair may be possible by changing C7001;4.7/35, C7014,C7026, C7036. All are 4.7/35. May need to install a jumper from C7001+side to Q7007 emitter. This tip thanks to Jeff Stielau Hope this helps Walter =------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The proper by-pass for this PIP is: 4.7uf @ 35-50v, (+)pin 5, (-)pin 11, .01 between pin 7-9, both caps on VP socket. Works great. Caps can be plugged into the socket from the top. Thanks to all who replied.
