Hitachi 51g500 screen gone black

Just wondering if the crt bulb is the common cause of the screen to suddenly go black , that is that nothing appears when turned on ....it's only 4 years old ...worth replacing? ...thanks, ken

    I turned on the TV and have sound but no picture. The unit is about the same age as Ken's. Is it worth repairing? There was no indication that anything was going bad.

Is the lamp light on? Probably just need to replace the lamp. very easy to do. just remove the cover with a screw, unscrew the old lamp, pull it out, put in the new one. easy. cost you about a hundred dollars for the lamp. buy the name brand one. the generic ones burn out quickly and don't save you much money when you buy them.

Yes worth repairing but not a crt problem. the crt's are powered by a high voltage transformer and sometimes it's caps that goes bad and in turn knocks out the crt's. but they are ok, it's in the high voltage line.

Hitachi tv black screen ?

but nothing else
If your Hitachi television has sound but a black screen, it is likely that either the bulb or the inverter has gone bad. The inverter is a part of the backlight system. If the inverter is not functioning, the backlight will not work and the television will be dark. You should check to see if the bulb needs to be replaced first. If the bulb is working and the inverter doesn't turn on, then you may need to have a technician take a look at the television.

Television screen gradually went black

Is the power somehow getting switched off, or is the screen going black? Try consulting the troubleshooting section of your owner's manual.

Has a black screen. The screen slowly went from dark to darker, then went to dark. I have a Hitachi CLU-572TSI projection tv

Not likely a do it yourself repair---loss of the filament voltage (6.3 volts) in the power supply of the set (some had issues where a resistor changes value).

I have spider webs on the inside of the screen on my hitachi 51G500. How do I clean them out?

you can unscrew the back top using a screw gun probably a long philips driver. the bottom of the tv is where alot of the unsafe things to touch are just focus on the top

I have a Hitachi 51G500 and there is sound but not picture. Tried the reset button and nothing happened. all three bulbs are still working. what can be the cause of this not having sound but no picture?

Is it connected to an antenna? Is it all channels? Can you play a DVD? Is the contrast too high? Can you access the onscreen controls? I have the 57" model and cannot figure anything else, currently -- the manual does give any suggestions.

Hitachi 51g500

Sounds like flyback shorting out and shutting down high voltage, causes TV to turn off for protection.

I would send in for repair cause this is big $$$ cost!

Hitachi Rear Projection TV Flickers Red

No, this could mean a loose connection on crt board(red of course) Look also and check to see if lines going to board are connected correctly. If nothing, then there could be something trying to short itself out on crt board. look for burnt resistors and bad capacitors.
