Sorry to tell ya Gemini, but there are no user serviceable parts inside a TV set unless your a technician as theres several safety issues of Hi Voltage involved as well as unsoldering and soldering. You Have a convergence problem or Pincussion issue with your set. No quick fix for this one. You need to call in a pro to assist you with this repair. Good Luck

Kp-46wt500 shadow and slanted images with rainbow colors

Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem

Screen looks 3D
Colors don't line up
One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
Screen is bowed or warped.

Here is a quick test....

Using your original remote go-to the tv settings then goto the convergence section.

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.

You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.

If you can't move them in all directions your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.

Solution #1

You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kits for most models. If you don't see a kit for your set send them a quick note and they will put one together for you. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, etc.

Tv screen is squeezed only straightens out if i bump the top of tv

This is likely your convergence IC solder connections. Does it look bowed and rainbow colored? The red, green, and blue will be mis-aligned causing a shadow effect. If you can bump it then the ICs (chips) are still ok, it just needs resoldering.
