I acquired a RPTV with a similar problem to many listed here--the red is way out of convergence, causing a shadow usually about 1 or 2 inched to the right. The red also seems to jump around sometimes.
Based on what I've read, it may require new ICs, but the strange thing is that it works perfectly sometimes. Sometimes, I can watch it for hours without a problem. Other times, it is messed up from the start or will go bad after a few minutes. I haven't seen others list their issues as intermittent. Is it still likely an issue with an IC?
Can be bad solder connections on IC pins, but intermittent
conditions can damage IC's, so we usually replace because
the labor to get the board out is the same ..........Three to five
years on a pair of convergence IC's is normal.........T.

It was the ICs. I sent the board off to be repaired by PTS corp. It was worth the $85 to avoid me having to solder (and that included shipping and the ICs). Pic looks great now. Thanks for the help!
What are IC's and how do I find and install them?
I have the same problem with my 65 inch Sony 65WV700. If it is intermittent like yours, am I understanding correctly that it is a much easier fix than if it is completely out. I am an electronics technician so I have no problem with doing a little bit of soldering work. But I don't know where to find these parts in the TV so that I can look at them and see if there is a visible problem. Does anyone have any sort of picture or a good description of where I could find them?
