Solved! Mitsubishi tv maintenance

[wlowe]

The last projection tv I had required the guns & mirror be cleaned as needed. Does my current Mitsubishi WS-65615 model require these guns and or mirrors to be cleaned. I have had this tv for about 8 yrs.

Leave your mirrors be! The lenses could probably benefit from being cleaned off with a lightly damp rag or maybe a little Windex. Gets you a better black and better contrast.

After 8 years, I would spruce up the convergence a bit as well. You'll need the stock remote for this. Just follow the directions on screen.

Thanks for the input. Removing the lower front panel on my old tv exposed the color guns for cleaning, do you know if the WS-65615 color guns can be cleaned by removing the lower front panel?

No, doing so exposes the fragile crt necks and focus block - both of which have large amounts of voltage running through them. Just pull the back off, slide out the glare slat if you have to, and do your thing.

Thanks for your input, will try that.
