Red Lines on Screen

Sound like your Y-Sustain board has one foot in the grave. The Y upper buffer and Y lower buffer boards go when the Y Sus Goes too...

are the lines slightly curved and go from the botom to top across the screen. If so it sounds like retrace lines from the CRTs being turned up too far. You can add the pic by clicking the camera Icon next to where it says Insert below the text box.

Hello

red, green, and blue lines curve across the top of tv is cause by defective convergence STK IC or you have open resistor at convergence section. if you have defective RGB Color vertical ramp probably you have defective STK IC..

Thanks...

The Convergence Amp IC's are bad. You should call a good TV Tech for this repair.

Ur convergence is dead.Require convergence kit tv model,replace parts.

If the distortion that you see can be described as somewhat of a 3-D picture, the problem is teh convergence circuit and this can be fixed easily. Also, if you can solder, you can fix this yourself. If you wish to do this, please update this and I'll provide you with some instructions.

Is there a cheaper solution? $600 sounds like you just throw it away to me...

This indicates a convergence problem..convergence power supply probally.. however ive seen 2 other cuicits cause this ..

Dave, HMMMM Dual pictures This is a problem that every projection TV runs into at least once or twice in its lifetime. Its the old convergence IC falure thingy. These IC's go bad and should be replace all at once. These are not consumer replaceable unless you have had training in the electronics or TV repair fields. Please call out a pro to assist you with this repair as A TV is not the place to experiment in because of the HI voltage and saftey issues. Good Luck
