I've got this older 50" Mitsu that is suddenly acting up. When powered up the display hourglasses then it powers down after about 2-3minutes. Then will not power up again until cold. I think I've narrowed it down to either crt coolant leaking from the green crt causing some arcing in the yoke or something in the primary geometry circuit. Anyone know how to remove the crt's in a Mitsu? I think I can reseal it and re-shellac the yoke. I don't feel like spending the cash to replace the tv and the service company I called blew me off today.

Thanks!
Mike D.

[QUOTE]there is apparently a solder connection that cracks from heat over time. It's a fairly cheap fix.[QUOTE]

I had a sony that did something like that once! The repair guy wanted $700 plus labor to fix it so I opened it up and figured I couldn't make it worse! I flowed all of the joints that looked old or funny and put it back together!!

It still works 5 years later!!

Good Luck! You have nothing to loose by trying it yourself!
