55" big screen - Sound works great. Picture is not there. 3 color lines border screen and are brightest at the top. Color lines also look like they are warped towards center of screen. I do not have the remote and can not see menu after pushing "menu" button. Last owner said the picture was usually there but green in color.

    Previous owner said the picture was there but had a green tint that he couldn't adjust out. If memory serves me well, prior owner also said it worked for video games when hooked up to playstation2 console.

    Is there a way to access menu without remote or, reset settings so menu is visible? The convergence symptom sounds reasonable but I'm no TV repair person.

Check ur hdmi cables......... if u have spare ones change it....... if the problem still persists we wud like u to get back to us with the make and model of ur projection tv

  • Anonymous Jul 24, 2009

    have your power supply circuit board checked, there might be no supply voltage being given to the horizontal circuit board.... and also was there any lightning or electric surge when the tv was on?..... in that case there cud be a short or a blown cap insde the board..... projection tvs are known for their lethal voltages... so if ur not comfortable doing the job.. ask someone who knows something abt tvs to open the tv and look for potential burnt caps or loose solder connections...... always ensure the tv is unplugged before u open the unit....


    since u say the previous owner had a green tint in the picture.... The first thing I check for this problem when doing a service call is
    the screen control. It sounds like it needs to be turned down a bit.

    The screen controls are in the front of the set. Pull off the front
    speaker grill, you have to pull it off there are no screws and it's a
    little tough to pull. Remove the panel behind the speaker grill.

    The screen control is normally black with 6 controls. 3 controls
    labeled Focus and 3 controls labeled Screens. The center controls are
    for the green.
    Find the controls that are labeled Green and turn it counter clockwise until the black is not green anymore.
    If there is glue on the control, then, peel it off. You may have to adjust it a bit to get the right alignment.
    When the set is turned on, only use one hand inside the set.


    thank you for using Fixya and stay safe.....


    have a nice day and good luck

Sounds like you have cold solder joints, or solder joints on the mainboard which have cracked over time due to thermal expansion and contraction of the circuit board.

Repair is to find and reflow the cracked joints. You may want to consider hiring the services of a reputable repair professional to deal with getting your set back into normal operating condition.

In the meantime, stop using that TV in its current condition! Continued use in that state could make the problem worse or create new headaches that may only allow for a more expensive repair bill.

Double picture & color problem

These sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the picture to look normal. This is called convergence.

When its out of alignment the video will look 3-D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the 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,Akai2_bing.gif,Pioneer, Hitachi,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.
You can get more information and a DIY convergenece repair kit with instructions from the link below.

Here are some of the most common problems with these sets...

Problem #1) Convergence

Yours may have one or more of the following symptoms...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped

How To Reset Your Mobile Phone

ohms_0.jpg
You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the factory. This is also called a hard reset. You might want to do this if you are giving your phone to a friend or relative and you want to remove all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem that is not solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again.

A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your personal data and customized settings, and also removes any programs you have installed. Make sure that you have backed up the information and files you want to keep.

As different phone models have its own reset procedure, view complete list here.
