pt-53wx53 still have shutdown. replaced convergence ic's and all resistors. double & triple checked all solder joints. projectors light up for about 5 secs and you can see them starting to auto converge then shutdown and code for convergence malfunction. one thing i do see is a (conv+18v) resistior has evidence of heat but still reads in range. into repairs for $30 and my time. am i going to put good money after bad. picture was perfect before problem.

- replaced both ic's and discolored resistors from suburban electronics but still have problem. checked to see if anything was "glowing" on the boards when i turned the set on. saw nothing but can smell something "toasty" on the power board. can a power problem also give a conv. malfunction code?
Two ways to approach this; first replace any 2.2 ohm resistor that is even a little discolored; second you may have got a bad new IC---it does not happen a lot but it does happen; way to find out is UNSOLDER BOTH IC's completely and turn the set on---if it comes on (forget about no convergence) and stays on---one of the IC's is probably bad. HINT:follow the path from the discolored resistor to one of the two ic's and that is the most likely bad one---I have replaced hundreds of these and every once in a while I get a bad new one----I just get two more new ones and do it again---fyi---you can buy the 392-110's on ebay for less then 13 dollars for a pair---Suburban electronics is the best vendor and they come with a 6 month warranty---last time I got a bad one I just emailed them and they sent me 2 more free. I do this here for free so if this has been helpful give me a vote here.

I have a Philips Rear Projection TV and the picture is cloudy. I've tried adjusting picture, brightness, color, etc and nothing works. I continue to get a cloudy/smokey picture. Can you tell me what the problem may be and how I can fix it. Thank you, Donna
