Question about RCA P52960 52" Rear Projection Television

Wierd Looking Video

I have the 4:3 aspec ratio TV. Yesterday my TV started powering itself off and on several times while i was watching it. Now today, the picture looks like you are viewing it through a bubble, with the sides of the picture looking blurred and distorted. It also looks stretched, like it's being pulled from all 4 corners at once.

Probably the convergence circuit, the STK output devices, associated resistors, power supplies, etc. Generally about $250 to repair. Have a service tech come out and check it out, also have them eveluate the condition of the crts before going too far. Good luck

Could be a function of the video you are watching. Change channels and see if screen size is restored to normal width.

My TV had the same problem. I called Sony yesterday and they told me to reset the TV. I did so yesterday, and it seemed to work. Here is the transcript with instructions:
Please turn ON the TV. While holding down the RESET button on the Remote control, press the POWER button on the TV. The TV will turn itself OFF, then back ON again. Release the RESET button.The TV will go thru the initial setup, and should work normal.

there is a timer that you can set to turn the tv off automatically. The timer settings is between 30 min. and 3 hours, maybe she has hit the timer button by mistake.

Hitachi 51F500 (Two separate problems?)

My guess is that the sound you heard was that of some High Voltage discharges that could have fed back and damaged some semiconductors including the microprocessor itself. Since it could be a very expensive repair, I would be very tempted to look around for a new HDTV by JVC or Toshiba. Hitachi has slipped a notch or two in recent years according to my experience.

RCA P52960 52 picture warped, shuts on, turns back on by itself I have a 12 year old RCA rear projection (P52960) and it has never given me any problems until Sunday. The corners of the screen started turning up, it looked like the picture was bowed in, and it has been turning itself off and then right back on. This TV was a hand me down, I can't afford a new one. I've searched the internet and it sounds like it may be a convergence problem. I looked at some convergence problem images and it isn't as bad as the ones I have seen. It is almost still watchable (can you tell I am broke lol) the centre of the screen is still clear. It almost looks like it is 3D on the edges. Is there anyway this is a DIY fix?
