The following is from Alvie Rodgers at Hitachi: If the Pink picture can be corrected by Initialization, the drive PWB must be replaced. If this is the case, make sure there is the new style bottom filter (lunchbox) replaced as well. If the Pink picture is oval and not the entire screen, then the engine must be replaced. Overheated LCD color filter. All this, of course, is on the web site under "Things you should know".

If you still have it you can click on it and it will take you to the Hitachi site and the LCD pink picture check. If you can't get it that way I will try to separate it from the training manual and send it to you. It is rather extensive. I can type it out if nothing else works. LMK.
