Hitachi 50UX15K won't turn on
I know I am in way over my head, but with the price of HDTV dropping
like a rock, I simply cannot justify spending the money to have someone else fix my Hitachi 50UX15K. So I thought I might try it myself, but I don't know exactly where to start. I do know enough about this stuff to know that I *CAN* kill myself because of the high voltage around the tubs. Thus I know to be VERY careful and not to touch anything that looks like something that could kill me, which looks like most everything bigger then a fuse Here is what I know: When I turn on the power, I here the normal "click" but the LED on the front ever comes on. There was no indication that anything was going wrong, it simply stopped displaying a picture on day. Is anyone willing to give me some suggestions on things I could look at which might be a simple fix to the TV? Are there common fuses that burn out, components that I can check visually? etc? Thanks! |

Hitachi 50UX15K won't turn on
There are a number of green LEDs in the set on the circuit board and one red
one. What do they do when the set is plugged in and when the power is switched on? Which ones come on, in what order, and for how long? Leonard wrote in message oups.com...

Which ones come on, in what order, and for how long? Leonard, I looked all over and did not see any LED's of any sort. I did turn the TV on a number of times and never saw anything light up. When viewing from the front it looks like all the high voltage components are on the left and the low voltage components are on the right. It also looks like there are two virtical circuit boards on the back left. Oh, there is also the one on the front panel to adjust the tubs and the little one behind the buttons on the front. Where exactly should I be looking? |

Hitachi 50UX15K won't turn on
I had the same model with the same symptoms repaired about 9 months back for
about $350. I know it seems like a lot for a 13 year old set, but it still has a great picture and my family loves it so it was worth it to me. My only advice is to find someone who has experience with the Hitachi. It is a well made set and probably worth at least getting a quote for repair. If you do elect to dump it and are willing to pull the CRTs and boards, let me know since finding replacement parts is getting pretty tough on mine due to its age!
