Your LED backlights are bad, but Hitcahi parts can be hard to get sometimes

Unfortunately not that I know of

What is the TV source or input? Unless the source is antenna or cable using the antenna in, the captions have to be disabled at the set-top box that is providing the signal. Some set-top boxes have a CC button on the remote but many have this hidden in the menu system. My IPTV box requires me to press Menu, choose the Settings menu and then enter a code provided by the provider. Once in the menu, the captions are enabled in the Hardware > Audio menu. Some satellite dish set top boxes have different access methods depending on the TV setup. If you have a master box that feeds two TVs, the setting menu to control the closed captions was only available on the TV closest to that box. (This was the case for a Dish receiver with a Single or Dual mode. In single mode, turning on the CC enabled the captions for both TVs. In dual mode, the two TVs could be tuned to different channels but only the TV nearest the set top box would display the closed captions if the feature was enabled. On that receiver, the closed captions were reached by pressing Menu. Then the captions options were under Properties > Closed Captions.) Please indicate what the TV source is for further information on where the sub-menu for the closed captions will be toggled on and off. I hope this helps. Cindy Wells

charger failure

My Smart TV has that problem too , open it and repair led of LCD

buy a remote or fix the button

Try resetting the power by switching off the TV and then switch off the TV's power outlet and disconnect the TV's power cable from the outlet. Press and hold the TV's Power button for about 30 seconds to drain any residual power from the TV and then release the button. Turn on the TV in the normal manner and see if it turns on then afterwards.

probably a back light issue

If you wish to get some details; check the site linked here. Pull up older posts. https://electronicshelponline.blogspot.com/ https://elektrotricks.blogspot.com/ faults & possible causes to LCD & Plasma screen are given with illustrations. You can get an idea about the fault to an extent. Search the site by type in the brand name of your set, in its search bar at the right side column, and press enter.

Replacement screen is required, so a new tv is probably cheaper.

Could be backlights blown or T-con board faulty, test both.

If it works, put it on Facebook MarketPlace, free to collector. If it doesn't, you might be able to split it in the middle. https://www.cnet.com/reviews/hitachi-51swx20b-review/ ..

Use code search on your Sudden Link URC to find something that woks. If a search through all codes stored in the URC fails, try a different one.

I am guessing it's an old(ish) TV. As a plasma the chances are that it is on it's way out. Please Try new cables (HDMI etc)

First make sure that the current Source or Input is set to TV. This is usually the only reason for the error message you see. To select the source, look for a Source or Input button on the original remote. If you have an universal remote with a button with the Source/Input label, you may need to try alternative codes to make the button work. (Power and channel controls will often match across multiple codes for the TV manufacturer.) Alternatively, check if there is a Source/Input button on the TV or a section of the menu system with the function. Once you set this source, try again. Note: there was a period when manufacturers sold some TVs without tuners. They were labeled HD-ready sets. These can't do a channel scan and do not have an RF antenna jack on the set. I hope this helps. Please add a comment with the model number of your Hitachi TV for more information on setting the source on your set. Cindy Wells

You would need the remote control to select the MENU, then LANGUAGE.

Under Audio or Audio Settings on the on-screen menu, TV Speakers is set to On. All of the cables physically connected to the TV and the input devices are secure. Switch to a different input device and verify there is sound from the TV speakers (for example, a DVD player or a gaming console). https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/310570/The+sound+on+my+TV+stopped+working.

New screen, likely not cost effective

The quickest way would be to turn TV off and then turn TV back on again.
