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.

Install a Pertronix. And check the longs for rust.

Oh man Britt, you scare me. Messing with caps on a computer mother board? Careful, you may end up with a spark plug (er, I mean DIMM) melting or something.

If it's out of warranty, touching up the solder joints (just re-melting is usually enough) is safe if you're careful, and sounds like it just may be the fix on this.
