Convergence problem AGAIN shortly after repair

Ur tv convergence board that was replaced for ur tv.The 2 STK convergence ICS was old it is not new it is those 2 STK convergence ICS on the tv convegence board is dead again and some of the resistors on the board maybe shorted and dies also must replaced too.The tv convegence board was put on ur tv those parts on the convergence board are old components parts,ur must repair tv convergence board again to fixed this problems called convergence pictures problems.

U used every components,that came with that kit?Grounding ur self.Used a low wattage soldering iron resoldering the convergence ICS again,no matter what the resistors are in torrence or not replaced all of the resistors,still have the same problems.The 2 convergence ICS got to much heat and stastic ectricity charges it it shorted and kill the 2 convergnce ICs.

Convergence is dead.Must know how to solders?Must replaced ICS and all of it resistors.Tries Tv repair World.com,Tvrepairkits.com for a convergence kit.The shop will cost u $300 for parts and labors.

Below are two of the most common problems encountered with projection TV sets.

Problem #1 - CONVERGENCE PROBLEM

Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired.

Convergence problems are very common on all Projection TV sets including Sony, Samsung, JVC, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Akai, Pioneer, Hitachi, Zenith, and others. You can get a convergenece repair kit from the link below.

Common Symptoms include....

• 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.
• TV shuts off after powering on - TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some photos of convergence problems.





Here is a quick test....

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

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.

You should be able to move RED and BLUE in all directions - up, down, left, and right.

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

Note: If you TV has as flash focus or magic focus button only try pressing the button. If it fails to fix the convergence your need to fix it. See below for a solution

CONVERGENCE SOLUTION

You will need to replace the convergence chips and possibly some convergence resistors and pico fuses.

This is a a fairly easy DIY job if you know what you are doing. If you have never done this before we would advise calling a shop or if you want to do it yourself get a complete kit with instructions and support from www.TvRepairKits.com

Its a fairly straight forward repair. i would recomend getting your replacement Ics at the following link, as they provide free instaltion instructions with pictures, free shipping and free online instant messageing when you do the repair in case you need assistance. Heres the link.

The power supply has an automatic shutdown circuit that senses a shorted component and excessive current flow.

If you can access the convergence board and remove the plugs one at a time (red, blue or green) for the convergence output, the TV may start up and show a picture with the unplugged color misaligned.

This confirms a short in the convergence output. The convergence IC failure can show up as coloured outlines or power supply shutdown.

If this does not help, then there is some other short circuit in power or deflection circuits. You need a technician to troubleshoot HV or power problems.

Replacing the output amplifiers (located within the Convergence IC's) allows the pictures to line up correctly, and no more color outlines or power shutdown.

This is the most common fault in all makes of rear projection TVs.

Some models of TV require major disassembly and considerable shop/manufacturer's support to repair because of their design that causes other power supply or vertical deflection problems. The poorly designed products require a "bench" repair that can typically cost from $350 t0 $700.

Some TVs are designed for on-site repair and have more reliable circuit design that does not usually cause damage to other parts of the TV when convergence chips fail. The ones that usually allow reliable on-site repair are JVC, Samsung and Hitachi.

It is normal to have some resistors in the circuit burn up or increase in value from the heat (from 2.2 ohms to 5 or 10 ohms). These resistors must be replaced with the right value or the chip will fail again.

This is not a simple repair like changing batteries or a fuse. Reading through the other posts shows many that try and end up with bigger problems.

Your JVC uses STK 392-110 IC's. Misinformed people replace the IC's with other "new and improved" IC's, like STK 392-150. These are devices with different characteristics and require different value resistors in the circuit. Replacing with the STK 392-150 will cause overheating of the resistors and a damaged IC.

If you are in Calgary, I can help. If not, get someone that has experience working on your JVC. My website is below with some costs and explanation.

two STK392-120 convergence modules that usually cause the beeping. So I changed them both again, but I also found two open 7.5 ohm resistors are in the general area of the convergence modules, and I replaced them as well. I also replace 1 swollen capacitor that was probably going to blow in the future but not really a problem yet.

A convergence IC has burned out. If I remember correctly, those Pioneer sets have one huge convergence IC, but that IC only has 5 channels in it so they use another smaller dual STK IC and one half of it is used for the 6th channel and the other half is the vertical output. Look on the convergence board, find the blue convergence jack, identify the blue horizontal channel, follow the traces and replace the IC handling the blue horizontal channel.

possibly shorted crt drive ic on crt board.
