Actually, recent models from Mitsubishi have been quite reliable, and of the
manufacturers that I deal with they seem to be just about the best in terms
of trying to improve reliability with each new chassis. They actually pay
attention to issues of serviceability and reliability and try to incorporate
suggestions from the field in design. These sets have been very good. We
sell dozens of them and I rarely do any warranty claims on them. In this
case, I'd unplug it and let it sit for a few hours and try again.

If you press the menu and input buttons simultaneously for 5 sec after
trying to power the set up it will flash a two digit diagnostic code on the
led. If it is not trying to power up at all but goes through the boot cycle
(flashing for 70 sec) my guess would be a bad DM module. This is just a
guess, however.

Make sure that the servicer is most familiar with the Mitsubishi products,
if there are more than one ASC in your area you want the one who works on
the most of these.
