Mitsubishi VS-5043 Question

[Douglas Fifield]

All,

TV in question recently developed following symptoms. After being on
for 20 minutes or so, the sides of the image snap down for an instant
before returning to normal.

Performed color aligning and convergance aligning via the on-screen
menus, but that did nothing to correct the issue.

The problem seems to be intermitant. It goes away for a while and
then returns.

Since the set is so large, I am looking for suggestions on what the
problem might be so that I can either:

a) repair myself
b) describe suspected problem to repair tech (if one can be found)
c) pull appropriate boards for repair

TIA, Douglas

Take "B"
Thats the intelligent way since you don't have a clue.
No diagnostics done...????

Not sure what you mean the "the sides snap down", but since the problem
goes and comes, suggests a possible bad solder joint. Need a better
description of problem to determine where to look first. A tech may
give you a rough estimate if you give all details concerning the
problem.

Thanks, all. One responder on another group suggested that I was
experiencing a high-voltage spark. Thoughts on that?

Any Mitz RPTV experienced technician will be able to repair the set.
Time to call one out for an estimate of repair.

Any suggestions on how to find a qualified repair person in my area?
Is there an 800 number that might help me with that?
