Hitachi 42LDF30U RANDOM SWITCHING OFF

Re: Hitachi 42LDF30U RANDOM SWITCHING OFF

ive messaged them but they havent messaged me back,

does anyone know if this might work...http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:RTQ:GB:1123

the numbers arent the same but the connectors are right and the tv is a 1080p, the t-con connector is the same and so are the others,

my board is a 17MB35-1 V2 020708 20458174

the guy says i can return it but at postage cost(usual)

the only same board as mine i could find was for £85!! so if this might work its worth a try

Re: Hitachi 42LDF30U RANDOM SWITCHING OFF

Re: Hitachi 42LDF30U RANDOM SWITCHING OFF

if it was me i would take the risk and buy it. as you have said its either try to fix it or refund the buyer.

Re: Hitachi 42LDF30U RANDOM SWITCHING OFF

ive got to refund the buyer anyway now, but 42" normally sell pretty quick, so ive just ordered the other board, i will let you know if it works when i get it, it should do...the manual is exactly the same but with differant model numbers on the first page, so i would expect the software to be the same just a newer revision so fingers crossed,

im emailing Hitachi now to see if it will cross match

I find it kind of difficult to sell >32" TVs except over eBay.

Re: Hitachi 42LDF30U RANDOM SWITCHING OFF

ive still got a 32" thats like brand new here, but no one wants it, but i havent listed it on ebay yet, was trying to sell it without the fees but with no joy yet

were as when ive managed to fix a 42" its normally out the door within a couple of days

apart from this one...lol

HITACHI : i need to use the correct part

SHEPP : but if the t-con is the same in both tvs and the main boards are the same surely the same software will work will it not?

HITACHI : although the parts maybe the same the lcd panels are differant and require differant software, you need to order the correct part
from charles hyde (£90 for main board but it is new)

but unfortunately for me ive ordered a main board now so well see when it comes....i really hope it works so i can stick 2 fingers up at Hitachi! ha ha

but my hopes have faded since there last email but it came too late!

Re: Hitachi 42LDF30U RANDOM SWITCHING OFF

Most TVs will still work with the wrong main board but the picture will be screwed up, usually just colours wrong. You can sometimes fix this from the service menu.

Re: Hitachi 42LDF30U RANDOM SWITCHING OFF

ive looked in the service manual but it doesnt make much sense to me with all the settings, what does what etc, so i might need some help, but ill let you know when i get the board....hopefully tomorrow, it will be good if i can set it up with the service menu if it doesnt work properly

Re: Hitachi 42LDF30U RANDOM SWITCHING OFF

Picture was sound, but the control for the buttons must be differant because it keeps turning volume up and down on its own, even with the buttons un plugged, but the board itself is actually differant, and now the plug for the buttons has broke on me! so this ones going from bad to worse!...due to my own stupidity!

im gonna have to correct my mistakes by paying through the nose now for a replacement board and solder the wires for the buttons into place on the new board when it comes
