I have a hitachi 50vs810 when i turn the tv on i can barely see the picture at first it would take about 30 mins and then it would be ok but know it doesnt show that good

SOURCE: please help

That is the blink code for the lamp ballast. Here is the more complicated explanation from the service manual.

IC2301(pin11) detects the error of LCD Power C.B.A. and Lamp,
then indicates the error when an inner malfunction of LCD Power
C.B.A. occurs, the Lamp voltage becomes more than 130V or
less than 30V, Lamp current becomes more than 5A, or the Lamp is blown

Hope this helps.

red lamp light is blinking---tv won't come on

SOURCE: HITACHI 50VS810 WON'T TURN ON. .

If the set comes on momentarily, see if the lamp fan is turning. If not , the fan is probably bad.
Hope this helps,

Bad connection at the horizontal output on main board (board with flyback on it) just resolder it, it should fix this problem

SOURCE: My hitachi 50VS69A tv shows the picture green.

A green image is usually due to a lack of red or especially blue. the problem is becoming all too common with hitachi lcd projection sets. what happens is that one of the lenses in the optical block (or light engine) starts to burn or discolor due to overheating because of a blocked air filter causing poor air (cooling) circulation. Nothing can be done when the damage is too far gone except to replace the light engine-at acost that makes it not worth repair. if the damage is minimal than to reduce further damage the air filter should be replaced. Light engine needsto be removed in order to replace the air filter.
