Samsung HCM4215W convergence problem

posted by Angi25 on Jan 05, 2008


My Samsung HCM4215W has a convergence problem. I replaced the entire convergence board and now I am trying to adust it manually and it won't move at all. What did I do wrong? Is there a setting that won't allow it to move or did I do it wrong? I double checked that everything was plugged in correctly. Help!

Thanks
Angi

I go to the menu, under funtions, convergence, then i select red or blue (right? the green doesn't move if i remember correctly). it brings me to a screen that has cross hatches on it and i am suppose to move with my remote, to match up the crosses. they don't move at all.

I'm pretty sure...and no, they don't move at all. in the manual it says the perfect focus won't move if the dtv 480p (or something) is on...what does that mean? How do i find that?

iS THERE SOMETHING ELSE IT MAY BE CALLED? I DID A WORD SEARCH FOR RESOLUTION. CAME BACK WITH 0 FINDS.

Okay, that IS my problem. I went to deomonstration and it said i was in 480p whatever the heck that is. I have NO IDEA how to change that. It said when dtv was hooked up (also dont know what that is) it would automatically go to 480p. How do I change that? If I can change that, I can use perfect focus.

My manual does not say how to get out of that.

So close yet so far. :)
I have the same problem

are you trying to move it my the controls in the menu screen or how?

ok sounds like thats correct, do they move even a little bit? are you sure you have all the connectors back on and are tight and not upside down?
where did you have the board serviced?

thats your resolution setting. i would have to get the manual to find out how to get to that spot.do you have manual?

i just took a quick peak at the manual, is there a video select switch on the dtv to switch it from 480p to 1080i?

dtv i think thats the desk top viewer, is there a small panel in front?
