I have a WS55907 RPTV that has a signal board probelm. The warranty expired last month (5 yr Philllips extended warranty). My tech told me the needed part is no longer available - I verified with Mitsubishi. I thought parts HAD to be available for at least 7 years following a model discontinuation. Am I wrong here? A 5 yr old great TV that can't be fixed is totally unacceptable. I have voiced my displeasure with Mitsubishi - they will be talking to the repair facility to discuss options. My salesman told me they may offer to compensate me for my non-fixable TV. I paid $4000 for this on 7/8/01 - what should I 'accept' as an offer. All comments and suggesttions welcomed. Any other horror stories that are similar?

If it was me I'd be aiming for:
"If you can't repair my TV, replace it with a current equivelant model for the cost of the part."
Seems fair to me.
How much was the part when available?Jason -
$400 for the signal board. I'll try that route next time I speak with the Mits rep.Comment

Someone with an oscilloscope, that is, a technician, can fix the board.
There should be no reason to get rid of this set for that reason only.JimComment

I was told by Mitsu that this board was designed to be fixed at the component level; my HT guys have done so at a cost of $108.51 - will be deliverd tomorrow. Signal board and cooling tray repaired. Total repair $302.64 (Service call, diagnosis, repair, assembly).Comment

thats not too bad, really. if you were to have had a DLP for that long, and had to replace the bulb, it would be more. from my experience, QC at mistu has gone down dramatically...i would stay away from their DLPs if the time does come to replace your existing display device.RB-1070

In my latest issue of Sound & Vision (when does this subscription end?), they have a review of the new 82" - yes, 82" - LCoS RPTV from Mitsubishi - I think it's Mits, not enough coffee yet.

I have a Pioneer Elite Pro-610hd hd-crt-rptv and recently I noticed horizontal lines going through the picture. The lines are the most defined any time the tv has a solid color or plain white background on the program material be it dvd or hdtv. It is hard to describe this in words, but it looks like... -

Hi all. I have a Mitsubishi 65" widescreen diamond rptv that I bought in 2001. It works great and the picture is fantastic with hd sources even though it only does 1080i.

Hi, I am going to get a HDTV in the near future. Due to budget constraints and desir4ed screen size, I will not be able to get into the newer technology so will be staying with CRT’s. My short list includes a Mitsubishi WS555315, Hitachi 51F510, and Panasonic 53X54. Could any owners out there...
