How do you increase brightness
Hello, if using the on screen menu to brighten up the picture, it may be that the lamp is going bad to where it's not producing full light....tks
I posted question -when do i get answer
Experts are free to chose which questions they answer, for example if this set has a red oval area in the middle of the screen it is a bad optical light engine.

Likely a bad solder connection exists and was advanced when set go moved---you might with set not plugged in want to remove cover and with flashlight have a real good look to see if any plugs loose or off.
Sound just stopped..what now
If set is Hitachi 60V500 and speakers are turned on, speakers are good and still no sound from internal speakers you have a audio circuit problem==this model is part of a class action lawsuit for another issue....

Good day!!!!
That problem is usually cause of faulty capacitors on the power supply board..
Just follow this instruction to fix your TV..
1. Open the back cover of your TV.
2. Look at the power supply board..Its normally connected to the power cord..
3. After that,,try to look at the actual image of capacitors if it is bulged on the top so that you can easily determine the bad capacitors..
4. After that,,try to replaced the bad capacitors using soldering iron and soldering lead..replaced the capacitors only with the same type ratings and value..
5. Some of the capacitors not bulged so its better if have a capacitance meter
I have a 60V500A Hitachi,
Hi Steven,
This kind of symptoms is an indication of faulty light engine. This is very common issues on this model. You're lucky that you've experienced it after 9 years. This is an expensive parts, in fact a refurbished one cost $400 dollar. Refurbished 60V500A light engine.
Its up to you now to decide whether to get it fix or buy a new TV.
Hope I helped you.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for using Fixya.
When the tv is on
He was referring to the Optical light engine.
This model and the 50V500 are both prone to this problem and there are in fact several class action law suits pending; I replaced of course a lot of the light engines when the sets were newer.
Last time I looked the part was about four hundred dollars exchange not to mention rather serious labor (like replacing a motor in a car).
Before you rate this information let me know if you have questions.

My Hitachi 60v500 will not turn on. The lamp
Your TV is at protection mode. It mean there's problem on it. The indicator provide your information that he detected short circuit or fault circuit. Your power supply and the regulator are working normal. Since you have problem on the other circuit Like Horizontal out the one producing high voltage. Or in the Vertical section This the IC type can have problem on it too. If you know this section you can now assume where will you begin troubleshooting. Occasional problem in the H- out transistor had a defect probably shorted or open or leak. While in Vertical Your problem will one horizontal line if the IC short circuit a call for protection circuit. And Also The Convergence circuit will make power interruption also. If you know this section then you can do it.

You have a bad light engine (optical block). This is the most expensive part of the TV. Do a search with the model number on Google or Ebay and even type the words "light engine" in your search. You can then find the price of the part. You can find a service manual by typing in the model number followed by "service manual". This will show disassembly instructions.
