(((((Leaking coolant!!!!!! Questions))))	Can't Post

I have a 1999 Mitsubishi VS-50803. It resently had a coolant leak, and the coolant dripping onto the power board blew some parts. Pirate

I need some help. How hard is it to fix, and where how do i find what parts i need to order? I know what they are labled on the board, but not how to order them. I will listen to any advice, except to trash it. So please help me out!!!

Thanks,

Mike

I think it means that you clean up the leakage and then fault find with your multimeter to establish which components are faulty.then you find the part numbers in the service manual and order from a supplier.

I have removed the board, and cleaned the coolant as well as possible. I know what parts are damaged already, i just dont know how to get the order #'s for them. Also, i have no idea how to replace a gasket on the crt. Do i need to remove the entire thing, or can i just do it all from the top by removing the lens?

Cheers,

Mike

That you show a picture of a mess on the panel does not say that this is the extent of the damage. That is bias to whatever is on the other side of the heat sink, that will be fried, where did it obtain its power from that supply may be destroyed, so cleaning the drip damage will not be the extent of your woes.

So how can i tell if the others are damaged or not? Or would it be better to take it into a tech shop and have them do the repair??? Although i really dont have 3 to 4 hundred to blow on this thing. What ya think?

The coolant is carsenogenic, IE it can cause cancer so you have to take care with it that there are several issues means that its a pro fix, so your choice is get fixed or dump.

The coolant is NOT carcinogenic, but it is wise to handle it with care and to clean it up well.

I worked for a manufacturer who supplies a mask gloves and gown to those handling coolant, That my advice costs nothing but a little care, and I can give you 100% assurance that it wont harm you, is reality, can you do the same. I repeat Freon is an inert gass, may harm the Ozone layer but will not harm you. Pass ozone through a flame and you get fosgene or mustard gass. What do you create with coolant after it has been cooked and contaminated, I have no idea, and I suggest neither do you. I advise you do not give advice when you dont know the results, if you wish to take risks yourself, so be it, but to advise others to do likewise is bordering on criminal.
