Mits WD57831 DLP temperature sensor

[tmwalsh]

Good evening all. Been having problem with new mits (purch jan.07)- temp sensor "reading" that the room temp getting too high and/or air flow is blocked. Unit has plenty of space above, behind, to the sides. I get a warning msg that the set will be turning off, sceen goes blank, an orange/amber light comes on lower righthand side of base.
it can be reset but happening more frequently and only after a few minutes sometimes. Anyone else have this problem? :cry:

Yes, we've had two units about the same age do it within the last month. Both units were repaired at the customers home, time to call Mistu to set up a repair.

This is generally not a sensor nor a temperature problem but a bad connection to the sensor on the lamp. Mitsubishi's current recommendation is to remove the in-line connector altogether and solder the wires together. This should be done under warranty on a set the age of yours.

Thanks folks. They're coming tomorrow! Now, any suggestions on how to keep 4 kids happy for another 24 hours!!!

Take them outside to play in the sun, board/card games, make some art, do some baking...etc :

Mine had the same issue, as did another co-worker who bought the same model. We both had new light engines replaced per Mitsubisihi. Now, they think it is just a thermistor or temp sensor that is the problem...it might be positioned too close to the exhaust.

Anyway...it fixed the problem for a few months, but it is starting to do it again.....of course it may be too hot in my room...AC broke....around 82 inside right now....Im sure the TV doesnt like that.
