Sony KP -46WT510 Convergence Problem




By svbenson84 on Apr 19, 2009

" "
Is it possible for a novice to replaced the IC's, Pico Fuses, etc that come with the TV Repair Kits which can be ordered online.

Is it difficult to get to the boards and do they need to be soldered; which could cause other problems on the board if done incorrectly? Can the entire boards be replaced instead? The cost?

Do you need the Sony Tech " codes " in order to do the manuel convergence after you make the repair. The projection TV is five years old.

Thank you for any help with this problem

Yes - If you are failry handy and take your time its a DIY project.
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.
