Dark Picture

Dec 17, 2007

-   I already posted the same problem and i call a tv repair man he clean and change the lens and some other stuff and it cost about $450.00 or so, and after a few weeks the same thing happend, after hours (4 Maybe more) of been on it goes distored and dark and it kept the image like that for a long time after been off, it had to be of for like 2 days in order to work fine again. I call him and he check the transformer or some thing like that, he said the cables were kind of burn at each end. So he said that changin the transformer might work and it is about $100 for the part. my question is should i go for these or you guys think is another part, or something else. thanks for you help.

-   I am have a similer problem with the TV becoming dim. My TV is only 2 years old. It's also an Aspect 51M200 which is made by Hitachi. They must use cheaper parts. From reading the solution dose this mean it is not the lamp?

-   My TV has been unplugged for about a week now. I know some of those big caps can hold a charge for a long time. But I feel confident that I can do this.

If you could walk me through the procedure here (i.e., locating the areas to be cleaned, etc.) I can take pictures of the process and post them on the site for reference.
