Here are a couple of common faults for this model from the hitachi Sevice Website
Symptom: INTM GOES DEAD Cause: SOLDER K088,89,90,91 (JUMPERS) Symptom: POWERS UP; SHUTS DOWN Cause: CHECK C922, C921, L708, CONNECTION AT PIN 1 OF I907 Read below and decide if you want to tackle the problem yourself if so I’ll help along the way with what info I have. If not contact the nearest repair shop armed with the info below. A dead set (no picture no sound) can indicate any number of problems – Usually the set is in shutdown or protection mode – this means that the internal circuits have detected a problem with a supply voltage missing, drawing too much current, going over voltage or a short condition. The first thing to do is power off the set unplug it for 5min. than replug and try again. This in effect resets the main micro and will sometime unlatch a fault and resume working. There are certain common problems based on the make model – for instance convergence output IC’s(CRT projection TV’s) can cause a dead set symptom in many models. Vertical output IC failure can also cause the same symptom (CRT standard and Projection). The only way to determine the real cause is : By an educated guess based on experience or by directly troubleshooting the set – checking fuses, measuring voltages and checking for shorts. Many of the intermittent problems such as, int.(Intermittent) no sound orpicture, int. picture shrunken or misshaped. These problems are generally due to cold (bad) solder joints (all TV’s and electronics) that break down under slight temperature changes or vibration and are usually verified by physically tapping the suspected area on the circuit board, or by quickly heating or cooling a suspected component or area ( cold spray and hot air gun). The other main culprit is leaky or dried out capacitors or capacitors that change value depending on temperature. These can sometimes be seen as bulged or leaky and have an acrid odour.

My Hitachi dinosaur television picture goes off and on for no reason. It goes to a complete black screen and then comes back on. It does this periodically. Do you have any ideas? Is this major? Should we just buy a new one. We love this one the picture is beautiful.. We thought it was our satellite system until we hooked up another television to the system.. So now we know it is our television. Oh, and the television shows it is on when the picture disappears. Their is no sound either..just a black screen. No error messages or anything like that. At times it does it when a commercial comes on, then comes back on after the commercial is over.

intermittent sound loss on both internal and external channels. The sound works for a while and then just cuts out. Sometimes it comes back when changing between sources; sometimes it does not return until the TV is shut down for an hour or so. Sound usually comes on when TV is first turned on - but not every time. The time before it disappears is random, but it always occurs eventually.

i have a hitachi dlp television model/serial 61swx10b The sound has slowly began to come and go at random, and at this point will not come back on at all. I only have a dvd player hooked up right now (no cable yet just moved into house) so cannot tell if it is dvd player, however, used to work just fine. only thing i have tried is switching audio inputs (with no luck) and also the sound from my dvd player works fine on my older tube television. If the speakers are blown out (if that is the problem), will a surround sound restore sound. Some insight would be fantastic, Thank you
