Tip & How-To about Hitachi 57SWX20B 57" Rear Projection Television
This site has been very helpful in diagnosing and repairing my Hitachi 57XWX20B. I recently changed the IC's and a resistor to fixe a convergence problem and had to use the small button on the convergence circuit to get set to return from static mode and enter dynamic mode. I searched everywhere trying to locate the correct resistor values and noticed many other's needing the same information. Here are the results of my research. I obtained some from manuals and others from comparison of the different models. My main focus was finding the values for the 57XWX20B. The resistor values are given in ohms at 1 watt. This means RK42 is a 3.3 OHM 1 watt resistor. RK58 was the problem in my set. It was giving a value of 2.3 and needed to be 4.7. I first replaced the IC's and thought the resistors were all good, but I later noticed my convergence was off. I could manually align it but the magic focus initiation would not save. It gave an overflow error. I bought the sanyo brand of IC's, not the cheap inports and found that if you use a desoldering wick then the repair is easy. The new IC's restored the beautiful color the set had when new. Now it is brilliant as well as converged. My repair cost was:
STK-110 13.00 Bought from local electronic supplier
STK-150 15.00
RK58 3.00 Bought from a local TV repair shop
The elecronic supply store gave me 6 inches of desouldering wick
Total cost: 31.00 Dollars
