My Hitachi all the sudden starts flashing MAGIC FOCUS.......STOP......MAGIC FOCUS.....STOP. I can still hear the audio. Sometimes the picture fades is a bit but this set's a mess. Worth fixing? The set is about five years old and is the 56" mid range model.

Thanks in advance,
Gary

Model number?
Seem to remember something about the main relay....

It's model 57S500.

Thanks,
Gary

Ya, could be stuck relay S901 on the power supply board.

Is that repairable?

Replace the relay. Small $5 part that solders onto board.

Okay, thanks. I'm not too handy with a soldering gun. Has anyone used a reliable service company in SE PA?

Any suggestions for a good service person in SE PA?
