Disassemble Hitachi CRT RPTV (FX500) (1 Viewer)

[Jeff D.]

I have a friend who wants me to clean out his Hitachi CRT RPTV. Just wondering if anyone has insight on how to get into these sets...

Is it nice and easy like Toshiba, which I've done before? Or a nightmare like Sony, which I've also done, but yeesh...

Thanks,

should be more like the sony.

Wires connected to the frame are a major pain ...

Check around this posts. I saved the links long ago to do some tweakings. I'm sure one explains it step by step. If I recall is not that difficult, I actually never upened up my Hitachi to do any tweakings (or cleaning) yet, I chickened out :frowning: although I need the Duvetyne and geometry tweaks bad.

I found this that also works for other models .

For the 57TWX20B:

1. Remove the speaker grill to gain access to the two screws that hold each faux marble panel on.
2. Remove the two screws that hold the lower screen.
3. Remove the two trim panels directly to the left and right of the center control panel. Behind these panels will be four more screws that hold the screen down!
4. The screen will now lift straight up with almost no effort at all!
