Tune up tv

Tv have colors lines R,G,B mis alignment any colors,shadows colors, 3D pictures,the tv have a problems known as a convergence problems.The tv convergence board is dead.The 2 STK Convergence ICS and some or all it resistors are dead too.Must replaced these parts to solved convergence problems.The shop will cost $300-350 for parts and labors.

Its the CRT coolant which needs replacement. You can get the Phillips CRT coolant kit at www.tvrepairworld.com which contains the Coolant for all three CRT's plus has the CD with instructions.

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. 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, Akai, Pioneer, Hitachi, Zenith, and others. You can get a convergenece repair kit wiith instructions from the links below.

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

he is most likely trying to rip you off. You need to replace the convergence ICs. Theres a kit at the following link for your model that has both ICs and the 12 feed resistors plus step by step instructions to do the repair. Heres the link. this is the kit your model uses. http://servicemanuals.vstore.ca/product_info.php/pName/phillips-dptv-305-dptv345-convergence-repair-kit/cName/convergence-repair-kits
A convergence problem such as your describing can blow a fuse if you try adjusting it when the ICs fail. and its all centerd on the SSM panel the LSB panel wont be affected. Alot of TV repair men dont have a clue they just try to sell you some boards instead of repair the issue.

Your TV most likely has one or more possible problems.

Problem #1: Convergence Chip Failure ( common problem )

Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem

• 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.

Here is a quick test....

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

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.



You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.

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

Solution #1

You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kits for most models. If you don't see a kit for your set send them a quick note and they will put one together for you. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, etc.


Problem #2 CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.
