mitsubishi wd-52725 dark screen	Can't Post

Hello,
I friend just gave me a wd-52725 TV. The TV turns on, but the picture is very dark. I have tried all of the inputs except the HDMI. The menu screens come up clear and look fine. The TV sat in a finished basement for two years and was not used. Before it sat it worked just fine. Any ideas what may be causing this darkness issue? It is like you are always watching a night seen in a movie. I am fairly good with my hands and would like to try to fix it myself. Thanks

Theres a small mirror in front behind the screen assembly if that gets dusty it will make the pic appear dull and dim. I would try cleaning the small mirror in front and also the large mirror both are accesable after removing the screen assembly.

I ended up replacing 4 bad caps on my dm board and 4 on the FMT board. My picture is still really dark. But, here is the thing. If I put it on PIP the screen looks great. Good color. When I switch it back it goes dark again. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. My wife is getting sick of this thing taking up space in the basement. Thanks <br>
