Hitachi 46F500 Big Screen no picture or sound?

I hope you bought a new one

it sounds like it needs a new set of lamps and the convergence will of course need to be done.

('convergence' simply means .... to align the 3 CRT globes inside it so the picture each one produces sits exactly on top of the images the others send onto the screen. This gives you your full colour picture.)

The 'CRT globes' describes the type of globes(or some people call them 'guns' or 'cannons') used. C-athode R-ay T-ube .... they look like floodlights ... one is red, one is green and the other is blue - just like the old projectors you used to see with the 3 large lights.....the 42F500 is just a mini version but inside a box.

to give you an idea of the cost for a set of globes ... it's about $1000 Australian Dollars (last time I checked 2 years ago) ..... convert the money to your dollar to see if that makes sense...or 'cents' ... ha ha ...I'm not very funny but it had to be done.
