Hi.
The best thing to do is contacting Hitachi support in your region, and getting the TV repaired by the manufacturer.
If the TV had not been damaged or smashed, but is simply faulty, then you can use the form below to ask the phone of the nearest Hitachi authorized service.
Here global contact form:
Contact Us : Hitachi Global
A better choice could be opening your local website from http://www.hitachi.com/, and finding Contact Us page with their phone number.
If the problem is a fault, and the damage had not been caused by user (eg. smashing), then the TV will be repaired by manufacturer within one year from purchase, under the international warranty terms.
Regards.
I need to know your location.
I will find the nearest service.
The only blown fuse is located inside the power cord plug, if you have the UK one. In that case check the tiny slot on the connector.
If that is not the problem, then there is a fault , in the best case the PSU or the inverter board. Rarely a stupid problem as a connector (considering it has been shipped , this is still possible).
I am a repairer, and I am not guessing. Check the power cord first, and replace the fuse, I will look for a service in your area.

Hitachi 42" plasma TV all of a sudden death. Power failure, no lights on the front panels. No signs of life.
Found solution through my very honest repairman called Johnny's TV Repair in Hollywood:
There is a kill switch to protect against power surges. Located under the bottom edge nest to where the cable goes in the body, all you have to do is press it back in and voila; LET THERE BE LIGHT and probably save yourself a min $200 trip to the repair shop. Of all the places my friend called non mentioned this switch so next time you have TV problem and can't fix yourself go to this guy if you're in Los Angeles.

Hm, that doesn't really help me, I was hoping someone would be able to let me know where I can take it to get fixed.
I'm in Subiaco on Rupert by Bagot / Hamersly. I contacted Hitachi, too.
I don't think the TV is under warranty so I'm hoping it's just a blown fuse.
Hm, actually I don't have the UK power cord I just bought one that I thought would fit and plugged it in. Perhaps I need to get a replacement cord? Where would I get one?
