Re: Hitachi l42vp01ub

Spoke to his girlfriend last and got a different story lol quote:
It worked properly but we kept losing signal and id have to wiggle the ariel on the bk to get picture back and sometimes it would go and I wouldnt be able to get it back for a few hours also when using scart it would cut out, wasnt all the time but every few days. Picture wise it was perfect no red lines or anything. When I used the pc through it I never had 1 problem

i think there is crud in the hdmi ports causing this.

also check around the tuner on the main board for dry joints,lift off the sheild on the tuner and check the ariel connection there,re-solder that connection..

you ran the pc via the VGA on the tv?.

clean an reseat every connection to rule out also.the LVDS ribbon top priority both ends.

with tv running,flex all boards with insulated tool to see if fault appears again

Looks like panel setting is wrong. MENU 4-7-2-5 (or 7-9-3-5 or 1-3-2-5) and change panel option.

Ok tom ill try that I'll have to use old board to see service menu the replacement board is from a 37 inch Hitachi so change it to that ?

Re: Hitachi l42vp01ub

@tom in the service menu it won't allow you the option to change in the panel

Hmm, may be write protected - if EEPROM swappable you can try with a blank one.

Re: Hitachi l42vp01ub

Easy to do ?

Re: Hitachi l42vp01ub

It's a strange one put the old main board in and you can change the panel settings but with the others it's a no

Re: Hitachi l42vp01ub

The EEPROM is the chip in the socket, left hand side of main board.
