I HAVE A 56"

fuse is bad replace fuse.

This is a common problem on this model. Call in a shop or do it yourself with parts and instructions from www.TvRepairKits.com

Check the fuse. Its located on the right side looking in the rear of the TV its the small board where the power cord plugs into. The fuse is on that board.

this 3d effect is due to what is known as convergence.i work daily on these set in the shop. (thats a good testomony for these LOL) but the first question i ask is 1 in the customer setup do you have convergence option.. Next question is the picture bow tie looking and 3d. if you are missing the convergence option chances are it is the fl231 fuse. then you need to read the fl231 fuse under tips and tricks section of this website. Convegence is controled by three cuicit boards. if any of these need to be replace a technician may need to set or adjust the convergence back to faactory specs

the rca itc222 comes in both 56 and 52 version.. If you do not have the convergence option in the customer menu under setup then there is a high chance that the fuse will be the trouble

reset? i know of no reset button on this set what are you trying to reset... whats your complaint on your set. I repair about 10 of these a week at the shop. so let me know if i can talk you through it. leaveing the set unpluged for 30 minutes is standard reset

first to change format push the arrow button to the left or right. if you go into piicture in the menu then go to avance picture settings then turnoff or uncheck autoformat.

you need a new convergence power supply or the actual convergence amp board. Go to this link and they will be able to help you with the problem . Just leave your model number and problem your having in an email to them.
