I have just aquired a mitssubishi vs-6051 that has been believed to have been in a house that was struck by lightning. when i turn on the tv the menus work fine. the audio also works fine. the problem is that when an attena or a DVD player is inputed the picture is heavily distorted. the closest thing to explaining it is it looks similar to a vcr with a tracking problem. this occurs on every input. again when i go to the menue screen it looks and apears normal. any ideas to what could be possibly wrong and the solution would be a great help before i start getting into it.

PIP Video Module needs to be replaced/repaired!

does anyone know how to bypass the pip board in order to verify that is indeed the problem. also where can a new one be purchesed

PIP modules are not available new. the best solution is to bypass it.

how do you bypass the pip

see the procedure listed for model VS4571 dated 3/17/2006

i downloaded the schematic for mitsubishi vs-6051 and figured out how to bypass the pip. after doing so the problem did not go away. was wondering if anyone new of some place that i could buy parts. i think i can narrow the problem down to a board and then just replace the board. also kinda a crazy idea but since the menue dispalys properly showing that the crt's are working could i perhaps jerry rig it using the signal output of another tv and tie it into the crt cricuit thus bypassing the whole problem. just an idea. i dont know a lot about tv's but i would like to learn. any info or perhaps solution ideas would be great. thanks
