Question about Hitachi 53SWX12B 53" Rear Projection Television

1 Answer

TV won't turn off

I have a 53swx12b and it won't turn off. When you hit the power button on the remote or front panel the electronics all turn off but it seems like the TV part doesn't. It's done this once in the past but stopped for a few months and now it's doing it again. I can tell the TV is still powered up because I have it plugged in to a high end UPS and power usage display doesn't drop when I turn the TV off. I found some another article that leads me to think it's the power relay but I just wanted to get some other opinions. Of course it's just out of extended warranty.

    Could you tell me where an end user could order parts from? I'm confident I could replace the relay myself.
    Thanks

Actually i just had a hitachi 2 weeks ago that would also not shut off. a called hitachi and was told to first do a master rest wich did not work, then they told me to replace the relay, once i replaced it the tv works normal again. i gently dissambled the relay & found the main contacts stuck together like they were welded. so replacing the relay is a good place to start. good luck.

    well you could just search for a supplier on the net, but i would go to hitachi's home page. find your nearest service center, and get the part there. that way you know you are getting the original hitachi part.

My toshiba tv model 32yt56b2 turns itself on and off continuously after i push the on button on the tv until i press the off button again
Check the microswitches inside the front panel control. You have to take the front panel control printed circuit board out from the TV. Repalce all the microswitches there at one time. It won't cost mor, and can be bought from most of the electronic spare part selling shops at your town.

Press the POWER button on the front of the TV. If the TV turns on, check the remote control solutions on page 26.• The front panel controls may be locked (disabled). Use the remote control to unlock the front panel controls by selecting the Lock Fr. Panel in the PARENTAL CONTROL menu and press OK (box won't have check mark).Buttons don't work

Use the remote control to unlock the front panel controls by selecting the Lock Fr. Panel in the PARENTAL CONTROL menu and press OK (box won't have check mark).• Unplug the TV for two minutes and then plug it back in. Turn the TV on and try again.TV turns off unexpectedly • Sleep timer might have been activated. Go to page 24 for instructions.• KidPass might have been activated.

I LOST MY REMOTE AND I NEED CLOSED CAPTIONING BECAUSE I AM HEARING IMPAIRED. WHERE CAN I GET A REMOTE?
Check the make and model of your TV ... You should be able to order a new remote through the manufacturer (try going through the online customer service from that company and they should be able to help). It might also be cheaper to go to an electronic's store and buy a universal remote. If you are going to go for the universal remote, make sure to ask someone at the store for help finding a remote that you can set WITHOUT the old remote.
There are some universal remotes that you have to program using the old remote -- it senses which frequencies the remote uses, and mimics them. If you have lost the old remote, then buying one of this type of remote will not do you any good ... so please make sure that you know what you are getting before you pay for it :-)
There are other universal remotes that have a list of pre-programmed frequencies, and you just have to search through the list to find the right one. This usually means that you will have to sit in front of the TV for a while hitting the power button. As the remote tries to set it's program, it starts at the top of a list of frequencies used by TV manufacturers, and each time you hit the power button, the remote sends a "turn on/off" signal in the frequency range that it is on, and then switches to the next frequency. As you hit the power button, the remote scrolls through the list of options, until it actually turns your TV off or on and you stop hitting the button. Then the remote holds the frequency range in it's programming, and should work just like your old one.

While the set is turned on, you need to hold the power button until the set shuts off and the led in the middle of the bottom flashes once. Then quickly release the power button and press the vol - and input buttons together along with the power button. Your TV should then turn on and should show you a blue box with the letter K. Now press the vol- and channel- buttons at the same time. You should now be in the service menu. With your remote arrow up until the top line says industry init. Arrow to the right and hit enter. Screen should turn green and say factory init success. I hope this helps you.

do you feel static on the front of the screen (indicating the high voltage is working)? Put your arm in front of the screen when you hit the power button and see if your hairs are being pulled towards the screen.
