I bought the hitachi 57F500 almost two years ago new from circuit city. I didnt go with the warrenty though.
![]() Anyways, ive had no problems with this tv what so ever until today. I turn off the tv as usual and i heard a clicking noise coming from the behind the tv (I dont know if it was the tv or not because i have you know receivers, cable boxes, and video game systems) it sounded like it was coming from the power strip so i swiched it off and the noise stopped. About 10 minutes later I decided to use my tv again, turn it on and nothing, no picture, Just blackness. You couldnt even see volumn control. Plus another wierd thing was I could turn the tv on with the remote controller, but not off. When I use remote the RED LED light comes on, but I get no picture and no sound. when I try and turn off, the remote doesn't work and the RED LED light stays on. Anyone know what the problem could be? Last edited by Italian Stalli; 10-10-2005 at 10:25 PM.. |

I know this is elementry but have you unplugged your set from the power supply wait a minute or two the plug it back in this sometimes resets the power system and memory systems of electronic components....Good luck

I searched for a SB (service bulletin) and found none matching your description. In fact there are very few for this model.
I suggest you email Hitachi from their US site and explain your situ. It may be a really easy fix. http://www.hitachi.us/ Good Viewing, Doug k |

I had someone come and fix it and paid $409.14 and it is not fixed.
The service charge along was $89.50. What he replaced was 2 Power IC'S part no. 392-110-020 I was charge $285 for both of those. Was a ripped? |

Absolutly get ahold of Hitachi ASAP through the site I listed above.
It better damn well work for 400.00 and they should know who worked on the display. Hope it turns out ok, Doug k |
