Hitachi 51F510 51" Rear Projection HDTV-Ready Television - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

The key here is does the red power light come on? If not follow power cord inside to the fuse that is directly in line with the cord.If other let me know.

Ok first of all unless you know how to use a multi meter give it up and take it to a shop otherwise start testing voltages with a mutli mete

Something is preventing the power supply from operating: Possible causes in order of likelihood: 1) Convergence amps failed overloading the supply (See if you can disconnect them) 2) High Voltage circuit has died. (Right on schedule since your TV is 10 years old) 3) One of the CRTs has shorted 4) The power supply itself has died (Is there a lot of dust covering it?) See if you can isolate the failure by working down the list.

If the TV is an analog only you will need to get a digital converter box to be able to use a digital antenna. You can find this online by doing a Google search or you can try Ebay they have a bunch of them 662results for tv digital converter box

Okey,

Connect the hdmi, into the HDMI 1. that is automatically input one. Connect the 2nd device on Input 2, thats next to input 1 and hdmi, leave the input 1 empty, as the hdmi is connected to that.

3rd device into input 3
4th device into input 4.

select hdmi on menu or dvi/component on tv

go to the ez adjust menu and reset the factory values do not select the ad9883 u may damage the tv u will need a tech

u need to be able to access the ad9883 submenu by first accessing the ez main menu to balance the colour offset gain for red blue green cos they are not balanced u will need the factory values of that tv model

hi, the tv is not set on sleep timer is it. the other fault could be a dry joint or a swollen capacitor a loose board with the power off you will need to do a visual check make sure you've got a good light hope it helpsregardsshaun

If using a cable box, disconnect it and set first from power for a while and power back----box and set will try to "reboot" which may or may not help--worth trying.

how do I replace the bulb in my tv

If the set is 3d or colors skewed look to see if set has "magic focus" which is auto convergence---it may or may not help. Also look in customer menu for convergence to see if you can call it up with the remote-----a set with this: if red or blue lines will not move in some direction(not adjust) one of the two stk convergence chips is bad.Kits are available and it can be a do it yourself repair---look first to see if convergence will not adjust and if you have that let me know if you need advice----for example: red will move up/down but not left right.SD TECH

The Hitachi site may have this available or you can Google the model number to see if you can locate one for free.Front screen unit with frame is removed from the front but there are pitfalls to avoid when replacing the screens.

Hitachi has two screens (other than a clear screen protector some have) The two inner screens are only sold as a pair---over 400) If the mirror behind them is damaged look to see no glass has scratched the inner screen as it will show---Mirror can be available either from Hitachi or some after market places have them.If the mirror--Google the model number with "replacement mirror"

set is HD ready which means it needs the Hd output from a set top box connected to the correct input on the rear for HD channels.

1. entire grill below front screen must come off (usually held in place by screws in back on either side.)2. locate and remove inspection plate dead center behind it.3. Locate small black plastic block with 6 black controls built in; three (look carefully) left to right are focus--DO NOT TOUCH THOSE.The other three are Screens and will be marked with tiny letters r g b (red, green, blue) and green is always middle.Locate the red screen (not FOCUS).With set on adjust red down just slightly(usually less than 1/8 turn.Since the set will be on TAKE CARE NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING INSIDE THE SET WHEN YOU DO THIS.IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ASK BEFORE YOU TRY THIS.

51F510 SHOULD use two STK392-150 CONVERGENCE integrated circuits. Too much to explain here but I am available on the site as a pay question attention: SD TECH.sd tech

Welcome to FixYa.

The color setting is probably too high. Access the color setting and lower it.

• Press MENU on the remote
• Select VIDEO
• Then select COLOR
• Lower the color adjustment

Thank you for using FixYa.

Have a great day. Jas247

Hi,

I am sorry for the trouble.

This is a common problem with these products.

Please initially check that the leads from the sat box/cable box you may be using are home both at the cable/sat box and the tv itself make sure they are home you may have to push on the plugs then if no go ....

Is it like this on other inputs like a dvd or vcr please?

If you press the menu button of the sets own remote control is the color on the menu screen good or bad?

If you observe that the magic focus text is perfectly green, then it is not a good news. There are few issues i have seen with these sets in my shop which matches the condition you description :

The set has 3 tubes red/green/blue now you have got green because you have seen it when the convergence shuffles on the magic focus, the problem is the signal for the green drive for the picture is missing so checks initially will need to be made on the green tube card to see what is happening here, like a failed transistor dry/cold joints or even the tube itself
Can you use a multimeter and can use a soldering iron?

If you want to get it repaired, you would be looking at $300 - $400.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Your convergence has failed and needs to be repaired. Once quick test is to goto your convergence menu and see if you can adjust red and blue. If not its has failed and needs to be fixed. You can call in a repair shop or you can get the parts and instructions from www.TvRepairKits.com and do the repair yourself. Its a fairly easy DIY fix.
