Have any Hitachi ASC's replaced the light engine in any of these LCD sets? If so did you order the engine from a distributor and have it charged to your account? Amazingly enough this cost $697.94 and the dud charge is $1.00. Figure that? There must be something that is reusable in that assy. worth more than $1.00. Maybe the labor is a big factor? I am hoping to get Hitachi to send me one, but they want me to buy it and reimburse me. Thought I would see what others are doing for this.
