> I have a Mitsubishi CS3525R that has been in my family since it was new.
The TV was manufactured in September of 1991.
> Once I get the TV turned on it works great, the problem is getting it to
turn on.  When I push the power button it usually gives a 1/2 second try to
turn on, the green LED lights up for about that long or a bit longer and
then nothing happens.  If I keep trying it will eventually go on.  This 1st
happened about 2 months ago, I opened up the set and there are no obvious
"witness marks" of where anything went out and no fuses are blown.  The
inside was VERY, VERY DUSTY as you have probably seen before.  I cleaned out
the inside, especially near the power switches, power supply and such and
when I put it back together it started to power up normally.

> Now it is 2 months latter and I am back where I started but without the 13
years of dust build up.
>
> As per my other thread on this site (for the Sony KV27T36), if it is not
obvious yet, I am not a TV repair person but do have an electical
engineering background (but do not practice).
>
> Are there any easy obvious things to check / do that might milk another
bit of life out of this set before I need to buy a DLP rear projection TV, I
would like to wait until the current stuff is a bit cheaper or the next
version (4) comes out.
>
> Any help would be appreceated as this set is on its last leg and my other
set (which you will see in another thread) is already out.
