Mitsubishi VS-5042 - No Color/Grey and White ghosting

[Guest]

I have a Mitsubishi 52” projection TV (approx 12 years old). Can only see a ghost image on the screen and no sound. It worked fine until a couple months ago, then the picture started coming and going. If I tapped the side of the TV, the picture would come back. Finally, it went completely out and now only a ghost image.

The images are blurry gray and white. I can watch a show, but images are gray and white, and a bit blurry, but no 3-D effect. No color at all, and no sound.

Any Ideas on where to start troubleshooting this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Full make and model is always helpful.

If banging the TV cured the fault in its beginning stages, that points to dry-joints (or what the yanks call cold-joints). You need to look for any poor solder joints in the TV, or ask an engineer to look it over.
