the thermal sensor. I had the WD-52725 ... thermal sensor had to be replaced because it was malfunctioning and causing the bulbs to blow. Mits is aware of the defect in this part. Suggest you call Consumer Relations @ 800-332-2119 and tell them the history behind your problems and also document it in writing to mdeaservice@mdea.com. That way you will have back-up that you have notified them. Also, it will be helpful for you to file a complaint w/ the BBB (you will find MDEA listed ... headquarters is in Irvine, California). You can do this online. I found that after doing all this, they finally responded and agreed to replace my TV. I did have an extended warranty but Mits jumped into the fray and said they would replace the TV. I'm sorry to tell you that this is only the beginning of your problems. Unreal, isn't it?
Hello,
Is anyone interested in getting in on a class action lawsuit against Mitsubishi and their (known?) defective DLP televisions? I've seen numerous posts regarding lamps, ballast boards, DLP engines, total rebuilds, poorly assembled thermistor sensors, air flow problems, useless repairmen, etc. etc.
I too am experiencing the joy of making 3 Diamond Card payments as well as HD cable programming payments all for a television that stopped working back on June 30, 2007 and has had 2, now a pending 3rd, unsucessful attempts by incompetent "authorized repair centers" to fix it. ITS ONLY 6 MONTHS OLD!!! Randomly replacing parts without performing electronic troubleshooting is totally unacceptable.
Anyway, please let me know if anyone would be willing to sign some papers and get this thing going.
Thanks!
