Hitachi 46F500 turns off immediately

try 1234 or 0000 or call http://www.shopjimmy.com/ and talk to one of the techs on site

I just had the convergence replaced and have a great picture

You can find a new Hitachi replacement protective screen and screen assembly for a model # 46F500 from a major Hitachi distributor at the following links:

It is my understanding that the 46F500 HD Ready only goes to 1080i and for Blu Ray you need 1080p. There are no ports for this format.

You must use the original stk 392-110 and stk 392-150 and do not mix them up. There is one of each.

All the suggestions about substituting other ICs for 110's are Bullplop, except for Hitachi manufacturers upgrade with changed resistor values included.

a common problem wich i also have with convergence with blue and red convergence.
the image converge amplifiers are burnet out wich in turn blow out resisters that control individual color convergence.

replace convergence amp ic

Pull the back off and tap on the deflection board. Does it get brighter? If so, you have a bad connection and or cold solder joint.

Did you check your cable box or satellte box set-up? I thought I had the same problem on my Hitachi 46F500 but it ended up being my Comcast box was set-up to display closed captioning on the component video output ONLY. Hope this helps...

Can anyone give me the resistor values for location RK 42, RK 46 and RK 62? Hitachi 46F500 TV. Or can I be pointed to the location of a service manual?
