do not move crts manually. go into the menu and adjust the picture's convergence.

Need alittle more info such as does the power light come on? or Blink? do you hear any sounds such as chirping or beeping?

you will have to trouble shoot the deflection circuit it may be a bad flyback transformer and output transistor
Probably still worth fixing . Obtain a servive manual.

Hi,
Please check the power capacitors on your power circuit for malfunction

No reset buttons since about 1975. If dead set, probably flyback & horizontal output.

I had a 56 toshiba do that and it was the light bulb inside. It wasn't difficult to replace.

What happened? Were you disconnected from the chat? Anyways try this , you see 4 directional arrows right? Press the left arrow to zoom out the image. I am assuming that your new remote has this function. Try it and let me know

Possibly a cooling unit problem. GEEK SQUAD!!!

This model does not use STK CHIPS. Look on back of set where model number is---what is PTK number---ie: PTK 169, OR PTK 195

Although you TV does not have HDMI inputs, you can get an adaptor from here to allow you to plug a HDMI connector into your TV. This will solve the problem for you. Could be a huge cost saving for you, to get the feature without having to upgrade your set. Cheers

Hi,
It seems convergence out chips failure in your rear projection tv, convergence output ICs will be replaced to fix the issue, please call local tv repairman to get tv fixed because repair needs parts replacement in circuit board requires soldering work and expertise.
Thanks.

Sorry , the original part aren't in stock anywhere. You can get  a similar replacement from here

Hi jkclay841 i live new york and have a RCA REAR PROJECTION TV 61" MODEL # P61960 CHASSIS NUMBER PTK195Y06T
IT POWERS ON BUT IT'S OUT OF ALIGNMENT ON ALL COLORS AND MISSING THE CLOTH THAT COVERS THE SPEAKERS HAVE THE REMOTE SCREEN IS IN GREAT CONDITION ALSO HAVE SOME NEW CRT COOLANT RUBER SEALS ,AND THREE NEW LENCES THAT I WAS GOIN TO REPLACE BUT CHANGED MY MIND PLUS NO TIME.
HERE IS MY NUMBER 347- 847 -3348 IM JOSE

This happens when the tuner's tuning voltage is incorrect, something has failed to do with the tuner, or the power supplied to the tuner, this is causing the erratic behavior. Unfortunately, this is only a SYMPTOM,and not the CAUSE, the cause can, and are many and various, when we get set like this in my shop, it is any one of a number of things, usually, involving, the Tuner, and also the Power supply, and components feeding it along that power rail. It shouldn't be too expensive a repair.It is my professional recommendation, That this set should be removed from the Power, and in my professional recommendation, you should get a "Quote" for repair, from, an RCA, Approved Service Center, this point is very important for a good result, Always contact, their local, "Head Office" Now, when you get the information you want, then you can decide as to repair of replacement. The reason we want an approved agent, is that way, all the engineers are trained on their own brand sets, they have seen almost all faults, and will get the job done quicker, and for less cost, and usually have parts on hand, also sometimes, there has been a service bulletin in issued and the repair may be subsided or even free.

hello it sound like 1 of the capacitors may blown or swelled up. with the power of you need to do a visual check of the board inside check for any burn't part i'e resistor capacitors transitors diodes any more info you need get back to me

Hi


Thanks for using FixYa. From what you have described it seems to be either a bad lamp or a bad power supply however, it is very easy for you to determine what the exact issue is. When you turn on the TV Listen: You should instantly hear a subtle fan noise.... You should then hear a second noise like a motor spinning up...Once you hear that noise then look in the back at the lamp door and see if the lamp lights...or if it lights then goes out. If the lamp lights, then goes out, you have an intermittent lamp and it should be replaced. If you don' hear the 2nd motor spin up, then that's your color wheel not working. If you don't get the first soft whirr of the fan, then you have a bad fan or a bad power supply. If you cannot get it to even start....then that's also your power supply. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.


Thanks

This is usually the flyback transformer (IHVT-integrated high voltage transformer) and the HOT( horizontal output transistor) The transistor will read shorted, with a multimeter, if it is bad. It is mounted to a heatsink straight back from the flyback. It may have a metal clip that holds it tight to the heatsink.
It is a pretty easy fix if you can solder.
While you have the board out, check for any discolored resistors and replace those as they will likely fail before long and cause more problems. Also check with a bright light and a magnifier for cracked solder joints and resolder any that you find.
