Toshiba 43A61 - Cannot adjust convergence in lower left-hand corner of screen (#7 on Manual Adjustment). Green crosshairs seem higher than #8 or #9 and cannot move Red and Blue Crosshairs to line up.

hi, sounds like a convergence issue. try this...

Look through your manual. Your manual will always give you the most specific directions for your particular model. Look for an "adjusting convergence" or "set manual convergence" section.

Enter the menu on your TV. Use the remote control and bring up the menu.

Choose "Convergence." This may be under "Picture Settings," "Function" or "Advanced Options."

Select a color. You will have red, green and blue to choose from. Do each one, starting with red.

Press "Enter." A crosshair pattern will appear on your screen.

Adjust vertically. If there is a horizontal red line visible, press the up or down arrow keys (or channel up or down) to adjust the convergence until the line is superimposed on the horizontal-center line of the white crosshair.

Adjust horizontally. If there is a vertical red line visible, press left or right (or volume up or down) to adjust horizontally. Do this until the line is superimposed on the vertical line of the white crosshair.

Save settings. It is important to save your settings when you are done, instead of simply exiting the menu.

Repeat these steps for all colors.
good luck!

Try this. The follow was found on tv-forums dot com by Zyntar...
There is a secret service menu to converge the Sony KP53HS30.
Caution: Be careful, there are many settings that can be tampered with. Some may be hard to undo.
Procedure: (use the remote control for these steps unless noted)
1. Turn TV off with System Off (under flap on remote)
2. Press: Display, 5, Volume +, then Power. If successful, service text will appear on the screen.
3. Use 2 & 5 to select the PJE Category.
4. Press 9 to get to fine convergence adjusting.
5. Press 6 several times to get the convergence screen of choice. I like the grid.
6. Use the remote's arrow keys (joystick), move the brackets around until you have found the area to adjust. Press the center of the joystick to change the bracket from white to a color. Use the joystick to adjust the color. Press 3 to change color to adjust. When done, press center of joystick again.
Note: Try to keep the grid even and squared up.
7. Repeat steps 5 and/or 6 for all parts of the screen that need it.
8. Once done, you need to save your settings. Press: Mute, Enter. Then on the TV, press "Flash Focus"
9. Turn off power.
TV is ready to use.

With the set on press MUTE on the remote.

Then press and HOLD mute for several seconds and while still holding it on the remote press Menu on the front of the set.

A (S) should appear in the upper right corner of the screen. (It means you are in the Service mode)

Press menu again on the front of the set

7 on the remote will call up the convergence grid

3 on the remote will change the color to adjust from red to green to blue(do not adjust GREEN)


You navigate the grid with 2, 4, 6, and 8 buttons.

To stop the cursor from blinking so you can adjust at any point use the 5 button—to move again use the 5 button.


When you finish you exit by hitting 7 on the remote again.


Sometimes you have to try a few times to get into the menu—I have had my problems but once in it is easy.


if adjusting does not cure the problem one of the convergence chips this set uses and or a resistor are bad.

Let me know what happens and if you need more help let me know

Your convergence has failed and needs to be repaired. Once quick test is to goto your convergence menu and see if you can adjust red and blue. If not its has failed and needs to be fixed. You can call in a repair shop or you can get the parts and instructions from www.TvRepairKits.com and do the repair yourself. Its a fairly easy DIY fix.
Here is an example photo....

To adjust manual convergence on your projection TV, follow theses steps:

1. Turn your TV on.
2. Let it warm up for 30 minutes.
3. Press the Menu button on your remote. The Main menu appears.
4. Use your remote to select Function, and then press the joystick.
5. Select Convergence, and then press the joystick. The Manual Convergence screen appears.
6. Select Red, and then press the joystick. A series of crosshairs appears on the screen.
7. Select one of the outside crosshairs by moving the joystick up/down/right/left or by pressing the 2 (up), 4 (left), 6 (right), or 8 (down) buttons on your remote. The method you use depends on the model of remote you have. Note: You must do the outside crosshairs first.
   

1. In the crosshair you selected, if you can see a horizontal red line, use the CH up or CH down buttons to move the line so that it is superimposed on the horizontal center line of the crosshair. Note: Make the single horizontal line as white as possible.
   

1. In the crosshair you selected, if you can see a vertical red line, use the Vol + or Vol - buttons to move the line so that it is superimposed on the vertical center line of the crosshair. Note: Make the single vertical line as white as possible.
   

1. Repeat for all outside crosshairs, and then for the inside crosshair.
2. Return to the Manual Convergence Screen, and select Blue, and then press the joystick.
3. Repeat Steps 7 through 10 for Blue.
4. Press the Menu button on your remote to exit.

Important: The directions above work for most Samsung Rear Projection TVs. Yours may be different. For exact directions to perform manual convergence, see your user's manual. If you don't have your user's manual on hand, click HERE to view your manual on line.
If you cannot get your Projection TV to converge, it may need to be serviced. To arrange a service appointment, call Samsung Customer Care at 1-800-Samsung (1-800-726-7864). Have your TV's model number and serial number on hand when you call.

As long as you still have your On Screen Display coming up with channel information, it is likely your problem lies in the convergence IC's and possibly a couple of fuses that supply power to the IC's as well. This is assuming that no one has gotten to the inside convergence board and messed with those settings.
