The red color is not aligned anymore on my Toshiba

The red color on the left half of the screen is not aligned anymore on my Toshiba 42H81 projection tv. What can I do to fix it?

    Can you tell me what is involved in this repair and the Ebay seller you mentioned? Also, how can I tell which 1.8 ohm protect resistors are bad? Thanks!

    I searched sewsles55 with no result, so I searched Suburban Electronics and found the page, however, they have no listings.

This model uses two of the STK-392-110 convergence IC chips.

Both of them need to be located and replaced--along with any of the several 1.8 ohm protect resistors around them that are bad.

The hard part in this model is getting at the chips--I can tell you what is involved if you or someone you know can do the repair.

Considering that total parts cost if you buy the chips on Ebay (I can tell you the best seller there) will be under 15 dollars plus shipping, if you can do this you can save the set and a LOT of money.

Most shops are going to get 300 or more for this repair.

Let me know if you HAVE QUESTIONS or need more information--I am here to help people.

My picture is wavy and out of focus. when i touch the auto focus it goes through the function but ends with failure. it is a toshiba 42h81.

The most likely cause is shorted convergence chips and possibly a few pico fuses.

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. This is called convergence.

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,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.
You can get a convergenece repair kit with instructions from the links below.

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

Problem #1) Convergence

Yours may have one or more of the following symptoms...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped
*No Audio/Video - TV Shuts down - May also make a constant chirping sound

Problem #2
Another common problem is dull or washed out video.

Your set may have one or more of the following symptoms....

*Dull looking picture
*White looking picture
*Halos around objects
*Red/Orange looking picture

Bottom left corner of my toshiba 65h83 is blurred with color distortion mainly magenta and green. Distortion Is a half moon shape with the open end facing the edge of the set. Total distortion takes up...

Have you tried the "Magic Focus" Button/Option in the Menu Setup Screen? If you have and it still is there, You Have a Burned out Color Tube. It is Cheaper to Throw it away and Buy a New one.
Good Luck..

Convergence -manual

Replace the convergence amps and test and replace any or all of the 2.2ohm resistors in the yoke return path out in front of the amps. This unit takes two STK392-110 Sanyo originals, DO NOT GET CHINESE KNOCK-OFFS... Buy them from Acme sales out of Florida and you can be assured they're originals.

The touch focus

Will the red align in all 4 directions in the other areas of the screen? If it moves in all 4 directions everywhere but one section its probaly a resistor near your convergence amplifiers. If the red wont move in all 4 directions anywhere, then its your Convergence amp ICs faulty. Cost about 20.00. Hope this helps.
