Service menu for Hitachi LE55*

[Pioneerx01]

I have Hitachi LE55G508 with bad main board. There do not appear to be any identifiable part numbers for these boards, and there are many versions based on board number.

I have gotten a replacement board, but the image is inverted, which could be caused by different panel settings for the main board. I am tying to find a way to get to a service menu to see if I can change it, but I can't find a method that works online. All the sites have the same 3, but none work for me.

Anyone know how to pull up the service menu?

I'm not sure if you found a solutions but before I order ANY parts I cross reference on a site called "shopjimmy.com". It really saves me time. Just search by your tv model number and it will give you compatible parts. It's not perfect, but it give you more information than you may have had.

Yes, I know of shopjimmy. They identify only one compatible board with LE55G508 and they are out of stock. I have already gotten a replacement board from other vendor

Method 1 should be correct

1.1 HOW TO GET TO ADJUSTMENT MODE
Chassis adjustment mode can be access by pressing
the R/C keys MENU + MENU + 8 + SELECT to enter
adjustment mode. For some parameters the only way
to see them is by selecting the parameter number than
pressed SELECT in order to see it; then DATA can be
change if other parameter needs to change then press
key then repeat the same procedure.

Yes, that is one of the 3 methods that I have mentioned trying. It did not work.

As far as I know it is only for once specific model. Hitachi TVs are often difficult to get parts for. No worries, I have already gotten a main ford from another vendor and the TV works just fine. The first replacement was probably listed incorrectly from a different model.

yes as you say maybe correct for that tv model number but wrong lcd panel etc main thing is you have got the set repaired so alls good.
