Convergance Problem?? My TV is only 7 years old, bought new. Audio and Video comes through good, except the video has distorted colors. Doesn't distort the image just the colors. I get purple, green colors all over. The digital array is all wack. Can not line up the colors. Any suggestions?? I heard the "convergance" chip needs replaced.. But how do i know on the tv board inside which is the right chip. I have opened it up and there is a city of chips/heat sychs, etc..HELP?/thanks.Bryan

Thanks for the reply, I got a service manual on my tv off the internet. I have located the convergance chip. Unfortunately, i live on a tiny island in Hawaii and we dont have any kind of electronics repair shop nor anyone on island with that trade. My only option is to put on a boat to a neighbor island and then ship back. Might as well look at buying new tv. But i thought i would atleast make a small investment to try and saving my tv. Now that i have the service manual, is it safe to say that my tv is indeed having a convergance problem?? Does the pink/purple/green colors spashed all over my screen symptoms of a bad convergence chip? If so, i was going to purchase and do the saudering myself. I am a computer techy guy by trade and think i can give it a shot. What you think??? Thanks, Bryan Thanks for the reply, I got a service manual on my tv off the internet.

I moved my Hitachi projection color tv to dust (my book says 46GX01B 50GX20B) and when I turned it on later that day I had a disorded screen at the top left of the screen and two thin lines of red and green going across. I look at my manual and under digital array it says the tube tubes can drift out of alignment due to normal bumps and vibrations or moving the tv and if I notice color rings or halos around objects, which I do I should converge (align) the colors ? What. So I tried to align by pressing the digital array button in the front and aligning my colors and I have 3 crosses that are way off line and will not move back. What can I do to fix this, to get them all align properly again.
