Sony pt 65wv600 projection TV convergence chip replacement

The convergence repair if done is possible do it your self; If you have also a bad blue picture tube or some issue related to the tubes then the set is beyond any reasonable repair.,

not always easy to replace a set that cost in its day a lot of money but it is now about 9 years old and that is about average to this type of set.

Ur tv have a problems known as a convergence problems,it dead.The tv convergence board must have it 2 convergence ICS and some or all it resistors to replaced to solved the convergence problems.The shop will cost u $300-350 for parts and labors.

Double picture symptom shows tv got problem with convergence out section and most probably convergence out chips would be replace to fix this issue.
Though its job of qualified tv tech to replace convergence out chips yet I can provide you helpful info if you are handy with electronics stuff repair and can replace parts in circuit board as soldering work is needed with proper tools to repair tv.
Thanks.

Convergence chip could be lose as in solder joints bad sometimes a good slap on the TV side will straighten this out temporarily but not recommended. A service call is the best fix unless your handy at taking it apart and resoldering the chip you can find convergence kits online if you are the handy type :)

Your TV most likely a convergence failure. ( common problem )

Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem

• Screen looks 3D
• Colors don't line up
• One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
• Screen is bowed or warped.

Here are some photos of convergence problems.




Here is a quick test....

Using your original remote go-to the tv settings then goto the convergence section.

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.

You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.

If you can't move them in all directions your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.

SOLUTION

You will need to replace the convergence chips and possibly some convergence resistors and pico fuses. Its a fairly easy DIY job or you can call in a pro. If you want to do the repair yourself check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, thermal paste, email/phone support, etc.

It should be a 4.7 OHM if its under the heatsink near the convergence chips.

You can do the repair yourself using the following instructions.

Sounds like your convergence chips are going. Unless you are real handy with soldering iron I would suggest having a tv repair shop service it(probably cost $200-300). If you are handy then I believe the chips you need are Sanyo STK392-110. There should be 2 of them. be careful if you order them online, there are lots of chinese knock-offs out there.

if you can remove the rear panel assy. look for the convergence ic's they start with stk--- and you got the part number you need a source panasonic is 814 source and the number on the ic's stk 390 ----/
