Features:
I looked at the service manual for your TV, but it did not include a BOM listing the PSU component parts.
If you have a friend w/ access to a hackerspace, they may be able to help you determine what that IC does, or to adapt a compatible power supply from a different brand/chassis entirely.
I assume that Hitachi just used a range of compatible units and assigned them the same part number, since that is all the manual says about them.
Without being able to reverse-engineer the power supply unit to figure out what that part does (board scans, physical context, etc), my
recommendationsuggestion is to grab a compatible board from any model built on the same chassis, that should fit/mount in-place without too much trouble --The only mechanical difference specified between power units for the -S602 and -A202/-A402 models is an additional pin on CN23 for greater
Va
capacity (presumably to support the higher resolution).|Model Name / Chassis|Power (Supply) Unit|Part No.|Max Rating||

Edit: The manual says it will also blink three times if it's receiving an IR signal from the remote, but I doubt that something on the remote control would have prevented it from turning back on. The manual does not suggest that as a possibility.

Hitachi's Amazon page also lists models P50S602 and P50V702 as using the (HA02602) power supply.I haven't x-referenced the manuals to confirm this, but the PCB bears the codes 1H438W 1H439W IH445W - so it seems plausible.

This may not be the perfect solution for you if you're short on floor space, or if you're more interested in display rather than use; but I've been able to shoehorn three banquet tables into our guest bedroom, with three computers per table, all ready to use at a moment's notice.
The tables I'm using are the wooden type with folding metal legs, like these, but purchased second-hand on Craigslist. Some are a bit ratty, but they hold computers off the ground, so they do the job.
I'm wondering, though, if this is just the beginning of a bubble. Right now, people are paying high prices for these out of nostalgia; the machine they had (or couldn't afford, but desperately wanted) when these were new. Now they have the cash to buy them, and are hitting mid-life crisis time, so they're snatching these up.
This is me right now. When I was young I wanted all these machines and now I can. I write off all the expenses as cheaper than therapy. But at the same time it has fueled my passion for Computer History. I now find myself buying and reading books like The Home Computer Wars or Fire in the Valley.
