I have a blue shadow that outlines every image. the convergence of the blue cross does not seem to line up with the red cross as the manuel indicates it should. Also power has started to click off and on...
The problem is in the convergence system which can also cause the tv to not power up or intermittently turn on and off. About 50% of them are bad connections on the convergence power pacs. The convergence power pacs are easily located by the large heat syncs associated with them. The digital control board is located very close to the power pacs. Remove the circuit board housing the heat syncs and using high magnification look for rings around the pins of the convergence power pacs on the foil side of the board. Re-soldering up all the cracked solder joints in the convergence system including the digital control board should solve the problem.
If there are no cracked solder joints in the convergence system, or if repairing the connections does not restore the unit, the power pacs will have to be replaced. Ensure that you apply heat sync compound on the backs of power pacs or they won't last.
After replacing the power pacs, check all of the precision resistors for burn marks or detolerancing and replace as necessary. Next, although rare check the fuse links to the power pacs. This should complete the repair process unless there is some other atypical problem which is beyond the scope of this discussion.
