HI, I have an old June 2003 Hitachi 51S500 , that i have been trying to unlock for a friend of mine , She said it just started showing one morning . am not sure what kind of lock or what it is All it...

hi this is a problem with the main board clearly

the fact that it is not allowing a code and also the fact that it is asking for a code that was never put in on the first place this shows that the main board has a fault and is causing the controll unit to send out a locked message that cant be unlocked it is not possible

solution:new main board

Hitachi 51S500 51 in.

Do not adjust any knobs as instucted in the previous thread if you TV have a convergence problem. Doing so will only make things worse. The blog does however show you how to fix other common problems with these sets.

Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem

  • Screen looks 3D
  • Colors don't line up
  • One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
  • Screen is bowed or warped.

Here is a quick test....

Using your original remote go-to the tv settings then goto the convergence section.

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.



You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.

If you can't move them in all directions your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.

You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kits for most models. If you don't see a kit for your set send them a quick note and they will put one together for you. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, etc.
