How do I delete the warning message that appears when I turn on the TV? Replaced the bulb but the message still comes up that the bulb is near end.

Thanks everyone. I realized I had to use the original remote that came with the TV, not the Universal remote I was trying to use to delete the message.

I would ignore the message, I used to get the same message and it went away after some days.

I cannot remember completely I do remember resetting mine with menu buttons

Offhand I can't say which menu, but I believe it is under the settings or system menu for the tv. The setting will reset the life counter.

I honestly don't know. I do know I've had to purchase a new bulb 4 years in a row, so I figured the cheaper the better. However since my last bulb purchase little white dot are appearing all over my screen. I did some research and the video card is going out. There is actually a lawsuit over the poor quality of these TVs. The video card is $200 plus shipping, so I'm cutting my losses and getting a new TV. I would suggest that all of you do the same!

You have to rotate/turn the light tube. If you look carefully there are two slots on either side of the light fixture. The light bulb has metal sprongs/tips at either end. You know I just tried and I don't remember how I did it. Try calling the company as they don't have online videos telling you how to remove this particular product. 800.842.8848

It's the bulb warming up 99% of the time. If it never goes away then check your HDMI cables by taking them out and reinserting them. Do this for all your electronic equipment because you never know which one it could be.If the blue/green tint never goes away after the above it's time to call mits.

White spots? Are they small? These could be bad mirrors in your processing board. My TV has 2 white and several black ones. Replacing the processing board with the mirrors is about 250... This is not related to the bulb it is a separate issue.

My guess would be the bulb is bad.It's easy to replace but you may want to call a local tv repair place if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself

It sounds like the picture lamp has gone bad. This happens with this type of TV after many many hours of use. The lamp is easily accessed on the bottom center in back of the TV. Search "mitsubishi wd-65638 tv replacement lamp with housing" on Amazon and you'll find the replacement lamp. Hope that helps.

No, leave plastic off. Do not touch the bulb. Use a towel or clean rag if handling.

I suggest you call the manufacturer for advice so that you do not damage the TV. Please let us know what advice was given for the good of mankind in case any of us get in the same fix.

Couple of screws on the back panel, right hand side, near the bottom. The panel that gets removed is about 8"x4" and if I remember correctly, it has writing on it. There are a couple of screws to remove the housing from the TV. Remove it and replace the lamp. Warning, though, to not touch the bulb or the oil from your fingerprints will ruin the bulb. If the price isn't a huge difference, replace the entire housing instead of just the lamp. It's alot easier and you run less risk of ruining the lamp. You can always look on YouTube, also to see the lamp replaced, step by step. Good luck. :)

Yes, there is a warning message on the screen. I was a bit concerned at first but kept on using it. As it turned out, it works just fine (so far). I believe the warning message is essentially because it's not a OEM, e.i. not fully compatible with the entire system of the equipment, but still does the job. This of cause is my opinion.

If your screen is going dark or the tv cuts off for no reason, then yes the bulb most likely is the issue. Your bulb is dependent on your model number. My tv had a sticker on the side that had the bulb number on it. If you can get me the model number I can tell you for sure.

May just be overheating like mine was. After I blew dust out of the fan and back compartment of tv, I taped blue switch that is inside lamp compartment cover down and haven't had any problems since. There is a you tube video showing this process

That would be the plastic on the bulb getting got which means you have ran the TV too long these televisions run got when left on for extended periods of time. I only run mine for three to four hours at the most then I give it a break so as to let the bulb cool off. If you find the light blinking on the front after doing so unplug it wait a few minutes and then plug it back in and the light should be off I hope this helps

No way to remove the bulb that I know of, but we covered the power light with a piece of black electrical tape. The low water indicator is worth being able to see.

Send it back. The bulb is irreplaceable. That's what I did when this happened at 2 months post purchase.
