My television has died (Mitsubishi WD-52725 for reference). It give a fast blinking green led when it starts up, which according to the research is a control board failure.
The interesting thing is that I’m not alone in this. There are numerous other people who have reported this issue, and that it is most likely a burst capacitor on the board. Now, here’s the interesting thing: It could be anywhere from $800 to $1000 for a repair, or it can be fixed theoretically with a soldering iron and $5 for four new capacitors, which some people have claimed to done on their own.
I’m torn…
I just looked at that model… Considering the price of a new TV in the 52″ range, and the better feature of newer sets, fix it yourself. If you fry it you’re better off putting that kind of money into a new set then paying to fix it.
+1 on the suggestion to fix it yourself. If you fry it, just spend the $1000 you would’ve had to pay for the repair on a new TV. I’m sure with all the Black Friday sales, there’ll be decent sets in that size-range for about that price anyway.
I dunno, sounds more like your TV has had a stroke.
