Red ghosting

Technically speaking, there is no such thing as "ghosting" on digital TV. Ghosting might visualy describe it, but if you're not watching analog then that's not the problem. The problem is most likely in the convergence.

First thing first - If still under warranty or if you have no electronic repair experience you should take the set back to the shop or to a repair person. Some of the solutions described below can be dangerous, TV's are very hazardous to service. Even when plugged out, TV's can store very high voltages.

If you don't have any repair experience my suggestions can only be usefull to get a repair estimate, or in order to get more familiar with these kind of problems, impress your local repair person etc...

some common fixes:

switch to test mode to check the red crosshair compared to the green or blue - if it seems out of focus, open the set and mark the position of the lense. Then adjust it to tighten the line.

Find out why the Red has shiffted(pin trouble). look for bad solder joints on that board. Its also Possible that you have a failed component.

Try resoldering the STK Output IC's very carefully.
In a worst case scenario , you may need to change the STK that controls the Red Convergence .


Yank out the convergence board(the one that has several
controls) on it, then you will find a few contols that have RED PIN
(whatever). on them. Adjust them untill you get it right.

Good luck

the problem is the convergence IC's - the are located (from the back) on the left toward the front of the set - i always change bolth at the same time - there might also be an open resistor in front the the ic that fas gone (2.2ohm i think) it should look burnt - on another note do not adj any thing in side the set!!!! the controles silly girl is talking about are not in your set - if you can not solder please do not attempt - if there is any thing i can help you with let me know
thanks

call a service man it will be cheaper in the long run
