Hitachi 43fwd20b blurrs help

It does not have a "color" tube, the model here appears to be a set with 3 picture tubes---do yourself a favor and unplug it and a box if used or a receiver if in the line--wait a bit and power back to see if the units connected will reboot.

Also remember to check all the inputs to see if any have color: if using the cable wire direct to a set hook a DVD etc to one of the rear audio video inputs to see if same problem there.

Let me know what you find--I answer about 400 questions here each week but try hard to help anyone who responds or needs more help.

Can you post a pic? It sounds like a convergence issue but need a picture of the screen to be sure if its convergence issue or not.

Hitachi has had problems with their light engines. Very expensive. Contact Hitachi as they may give you consideration even if this is out of warranty.

Good Day, turott1;

You need repair in the convergence circuit, purchase KIT 10. You can buy this at B&D ENTERPRISES, at 1-800-458-6053.

Good Luck, big IRISH.

You have a defective light engine. We just went through this and we have the same TV that you have. Hitachi knows about the problem but will play dumb when you first call. If you deal directly with their Customer Relations Department 800-654-7013, it will make a lot of difference than regular customer service.

Here's how they handled our situation. We called Hitachi after lots of research online and they gave us the names of some certified dealers in our area. The tech came out and in less than 1 minute said the TV had a defective light engine. We called Hitachi back and low and behold, they are aware of the problem...imagine that. Hitachi called the dealer directly and once the dealer confirmed the problem, they agreed to send a brand new light engine out to the dealer and the tech came out and replaced it. Here's the kicker...Hitachi will pay the for the part ($1500) but they ask you to pay for the install. Our install was $400. This was worth it to us being that we spent $3600 on this set 3 years ago. Once the light engine was replaced, the TV looked BRAND NEW! Please deal with their customer relations department at the number I lised above. If you deal with customer service, they will have you chasing your tail...so to speak! Good Luck! If you're willing to cover the install, the rest should go pretty smoothly..at least it did for us:)

is screen all red? or does it look like 3-D

This sounds like the solder joints on one of the convergence output IC's have cracked loose or the IC itself is defective and quitting when it warms up. The IC needs to be either resoldered or replaced.
