Projection TV sets are known to have two common problems. The first problem that is common to these sets is convergence failure. When this happens the TV will usually look 3D, Wavy/Distorted, etc. It may also shutdown and blink an error code.
The second common problem with Projection TV sets is dull video, halos around objects, white looking video, or red overpowers the screen. This is commonly caused by the fluid in the lens being clouded overs.

I have a 1997 Ultravision
Hello,
there are 5 capacitors that were causing the problem. they might be bulged or faulty Sometimes these things can be frustrating but remember when it was so much simpler. This will require you opening the back cover of the television and having knowledge on electronics.....
Unit cuts out after short period.
Yes it could cost as much as $450.00.Your set Needs Both of the STKs replaced. Hope you can solder or get someone who can, STKs are convergence ics they also control power too! If you have in your set STK392-110s use the 180s 110s do not hold up They will be big black ICs
TV lost power - Protect LED D912 blinking
If E994 has continuity , then C701 is ok. defective C701 gives problem with colors and picture.
If there is no led flashing, and does not turn on at all then is the power unit, test the capacitors on the power board.
My 50SBX70B doesn't start
There are many reasons for a no start on your 50SBX70. I will give you the most common problem I have found. Check E994( 4a pico fuse on the 120v line in pwr supply) If it is bad, remove C701(.001/2kv) from the circuit located near Q777. Inspect the capacitor for any burn marks, if so put in a new fuse and leave the cap out and fire up the set.
Intermittent video
There is a problem with a video processing board on this set, to repair this usaly means replacing up to 30 capacitors on this board and they are all surface mounted a very fragile, bust bet on this one is to take it in to the shop

If the green lites on bord lites up doesnt mean it is ok. If you check on that board in the middle at the back of the heatsink in the middle, there is two lights, green lights that is not lighting up. If i am wright. You have caps an a transistor on your powersup that is shorted. Take to somebody to fix powersupply.
Hitachi 50sbx70b
This update covers to the following Hitachi
models and chassis
46UX50B/51K, 50UX52B/53K, 60UX54B/55K, 50SBX70B, 60SBX72B, 70SBX74B. All projection
televisions using the AP73 & 74 chassis's From Dennis Viereck
SYMPTOM:
Intermittent loss of Raster, On Screen Display,
sometimes sound. BUT ALWAYS HAS HIGH VOLTAGE! Also removing power and
reapplying it again restores operation.
THE PROBLEM: There is a lack of a secondary
ground for the CRT Dag connected to each CRT board. You can identify this missing ground
on the CRT board by locating two vacant pins on each CRT driver board near the CRT socket.
The connector is named P801, P831, and P861 relative to each board. The pin nearest the
socket is the ground pin in question. The pin furthest from the socket is connected to the
cathode of the CRT.
OBJECTIVE: Run a separate ground wire from the
"GROUND" pin on each CRT board to the chassis ground. You can use the circuit
board mounting screw on the frame under the green CRT. See drawing below.
DIRECTIONS: Obtain 3 wires 10, 14, and 18
inches long. The wire is 18 gauge stranded with an insulated jacket. Attach one wire to
each ground pin on the CRT socket. Choose the correct length of wire so that all wires
will connect to the circuit board mounting screw near the center of the chassis frame.
EXPLANATION: The extra ground is needed if an
internal arc occurs in the CRT. This energy must find a path to ground. Before, the only
path to ground is through the signal ground wire on the RGB drive connector. This thin
wire does not go directly to chassis ground and is inadequate ground for the CRT dag. If
the energy level of the discharge is high enough it may corrupt the data flow on the data
& clock lines or negatively effect the OSD microprocessor. Since electricity takes the
shortest path to ground, the additional ground wire will route the majority of that static
pulse to chassis ground quicker and reduce the possibility of corrupting operation of the
OSD processor.
