Hey eel the picture on the tv is like a three d image and can't seem to fix the problem and well I think that it is to do with the projecting please help? But I've done all I can.

Resolder the convergence IC pins chances are the solder is causing the issue since it seems to correct itself.

Please do us a favor and rate this solution after reading.

Projection TV sets have two very common problems. One is convergence ( 3D/Warped video) the other is CRT fluid ( Dull Video). Here are more details and solutions for both. Repair kits with instructions are also avail from www.TvRepairKits.com

Common Problem #1) Convergence has gone out

Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired.

This is a very common failure on these projection sets and a fairly simple DIY fix. All projection sets including Samsung, RCA, Sony, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Pioneer, Akai, GE, JVC, Toshiba, and others at some point will have the same problem.

Common Symptoms include....

• 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.
• TV shuts off after powering on. Power light will blink. TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some pics of convergence problems.

Common 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.

It can be fixed, if picture is 3d looking it is what is called a convergence problem.

See attached photos of typical ones. This set uses two of the STK-392-560 convergence IC chips.

It can be a do it yourself repair but this does require being able to solder.

Parts cost would on EBAY be under 25 dollars.

Let me know if you want instructions, I have photos of the parts and the board they are on.

see attached photos.

THE CHIPS WILL LOOK LIKE THIS BUT HAVE STK-392-560 PRINTED ON THE FRONT IN WHITE.

You can get a repair kit with parts and instructions from www.TvRepairKits.com

i think the color wheel is in need of calibration.

i think you need a new convergence board they rin from about 88.00 to about 140.00
