Lamp light on after i replaced the blown lamp Hitachi 60v500a

Its real easy on this model when you replace the lamp for the pins on it not to line up perfectly when installed.

was the set worked on lately? And also have you ever changed the lamp? The first thing I would replace is a C958 (100uf/35v) Capacitor.

From the front on right side look for and open the door that covers it.

you need a new lamp, USD130 for a new one

1. Turn off the main power switch and unplug the power cord. Wait at least 30 minutes to allow the lamp to cool down before
replacing it.
2. Remove the front cover from the TV set. This is held by a snap on. Pull the front cover outwards until the quick snap on
disengages.
3. Remove the screw securing the lamp cover with a Phillips head screw driver. Remove the lamp cover.
4. Remove the two screws that hold the lamp in place. Remove the lamp unit by holding the lamp handle, then pulling outwards.
Exercise caution when removing the lamp unit to avoid injury to your fingers.
5. Replace with the new lamp.
Place the removed lamp into the empty box of the replacement lamp. Do not touch the front glass of the new lamp or its
receptacle. This may shorten the life of the lamp and reduce the picture quality.
• Push the lamp unit back to its original position.
• Tighten the screws firmly on the lamp unit. If they are loose, the TV may not operate correctly.
6. Without installing the lamp cover, the power will be off and the Lamp Indicator will flash. Be sure to install the lamp
cover by re-engaging the two clips and tighten the screws before turning the power on, otherwise it may cause unusual colors.
7. Install the front cover. Put the front cover back in and align the snap on quick connect then push inwards holding
the left and right side of the front cover until you hear a snap. Push the other snap on gently to make a good fit.
8. Plug power cord into AC outlet and turn on the main power switch.

I have hitachi lcd rear projection tv model 60v500A at first I was getting a red spot on centar of tv with in two mounths the spot got bigger. I chanched the lamp but now i don't have a picture, the red indicator on tv is now blinking.

If you Google "60v500a light engine" you will learn a few things about this set which was first sold in 2003.

There are some class action lawsuits out there for several Hitachi models made at about the same time.

Most of the time these sets develop a discolored area fairly large in the middle of the screen---a lot of them had a large red or pink oval area but other colors are possible.

This set uses a LAMP for the light source and it directs the light into the optical light engine--at the top of the engine is a 3 inch lens that the picture comes out of and is directed into the mirror which puts it on the screen.

Lots of these sets develop a "burn" inside the engine from the heat--there are a series of lens and baffles inside---even slight separation inside will change the color in some area of the picture.

I am sorry to give you bad news but I have replaced a lot of these engines under extended and when they were new mfg. warranty.

The part is no longer available from Hitachi new--the only way to get one is to remove the one in the set and have it sent out for "rebuild" and the last time I saw one the engine was over 600 dollars at the wholesale level not counting the fact that it is major labor to replace.

Find someone in your area familiar with Hitachi and this model and you will see what I am talking about.

Even though this is not good news, I think it is what your problem is.

i have the same problem, did you ever get an answer?

Not sure.....Check e994 - its a pico fuse on the main board....If its blown the kit will most likely help. If its not blown the problem is elsewhere. 

Good Day, artisticpool;
Suspect loose cable see picture:



If okay suspect light engine.
Good Luck, big IRISH.
