Your
TV most likely has one or more possible problems.
Problem #1: Convergence Chip 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 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 #1
You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site
www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kits for most models. If you don't see a kit for your set send them a quick note and they will put one together for you. Their kits include a
photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, etc.
SOLUTION
I spoke with several repair facilities. All of them said it was the "dual color" or "tri color" convergence transistors. All of them needed to be changed. THe charge was $60.00 for the transistors and $90.00 for the labor.
THe parts run between $10.00 and $15.00 but the transistors are on the front of the heat sink and they can only be read by removing the board. I figure I'll bring it in and have it repaired.
I changed both,everything lines up in cross. The picture dose not lineup.
