I have a Hitachi 57F59 Projection Color TV. Last night it started making poping sounds like an arc short and the picture would go in and out. Finally after one really loud pop, no picture. Looking in back of set, the power board is where a clicking sound can be heard as the TV tries to energize but no go. Local Hitachi service center whats $225 plus milage to come to Plainview from Lubbock,TX, 42 miles. They want $200 just to look at it and then $384 plus tax for the power board if that is the problem. My concern is, this TV was just $949.95 from Sears when I got it 2 years ago. Should I scrap it, fix, or tell Hitachi there service center is ripping people off?

SOURCE: No picture, hear sound, television will shut off after a few seconds.

Take out the bulb (back left hatch door) look to see if the element inside the bulb is broken or blackened - (replace bulb) if the bulb looks OK then it's the ballast that fires the bulb (service call).

Our LG 50" plasma tv screen went black after a popping noise but still had sound, after great diliberations decided to take the back off and have a peek!
We unplugged the tv and tested the fuses (there were three we could see) one had blown, the one on the left as you look at the back of the tv it also has one above it. We wrote the code/seriel number down and took the fuse to the electrical wholesalers Maplin and bought a pack of 10 fuses for £1.29 replaced the fuse in the tv and everything now fine!!!!!!
Hope this might be of use to anyone whose lost the picture after a loud popping/snacking noise but still has sound.
