Hey all,
New to the forum and have a question regarding the RCA R52WH7 Projection TV. Here's the scoop, the convergence is all messed up with a concave image as well. From what I have read, it is often caused by the FL231 Fuse going bad witch also causes the convergence option to drop from the menu.
The thing that confuses me about this is that I still have the convergence option on my menu, but it doesn't function. When I Select the option from the menu, it brings up the crosshairs to align, however, I can't move them. Could this still be related to the fuse? Any help would be greatly appreciated:)

- Alright, I checked the three fuse links both visually and via multimeter and they all checked out okay.
Any other thoughts???Nov 06, 2009
- It's my understanding that this problem could be related to the convergence ICs as the menu for convergence is still available within the menu, it just does not allow me to move the cross-hairs for alignment.Nov 10, 2009
- Thanks, mrrepair, I'll check it out. As I had said before, I visually inspected the fuse as well as checked for continuity with a multimeter. I checked the fuse while it was still in series, though, so could that have affected my reading?Nov 10, 2009
- Doing a little more research has revealed that it may be the flyback that is my problem. It could well be that the solder has cracked and broken loose on some of the pins of the flyback. I will check this when i get the chance and post back here with my results...Nov 16, 2009
- I have inspected the solder points of the flyback, and I can't tell if they need resoldering. One of the pins is slightly discolored about the base (the point where the solder meets the board) but I don't know if this is the issue. I will try resoldering it this weekend.
Also, I have checked and rechecked those fuses as well as the capacitor at CP230 and they all seem to check out. Any other input out there?Dec 22, 2009
- Thanks for the input, curdog, I'll check that out tonight.
