I had a TV the did the same. You can get an electric magnet (from an electrics store sucha s Radio Shack) and demagnatize the T.V. Or a cheap way to do it is turn the T.V. off and drag close to the front of the screen(obviously not touching it though) a car stereo speaker from the center to the edge. Let me know if this helps.

Like the Other tech, said Most likly the shadow mask inside of the picture tube shifted and the only way to fix that is by changing the Picture tube. You may be able to minamize the discoloration with a deguassing coil, but not likly. Good Luck

Screen lights up but no picture just lines

see the instruction and fix it. God bless you

Instructions
    • 1
      Unplug the power cable if the TV is having issues turning on or off. To reset the electronics, it is important to not only unplug the power cable from the outlet, but also to unplug it from the TV. Wait a few minutes for the power to drain from the TV and then plug the cable back into the outlet and TV. A TV that is not working may not be getting enough power. Try plugging the TV into a different outlet or use a different power cable. Tweets, flashes, clicks and flashing pictures are all signs that the TV is not getting enough power.

    • 2
      Check that all cables are plugged into the proper positions and are secure. Normally if there is a problem with the picture, but not the sound, or vice versa, then a loose cable is the cause. If you have spare cables, replace the cable to check if it is the cable that is the problem and not another component of the TV.

    • 3
      Change the batteries if the remote is not working properly. Reset the remote by removing the batteries and then pressing the buttons and holding them down for 30 seconds. Then install new batteries. If you use rechargeable batteries, let them charge for at least 6 hours.

    • 4
      Adjust the brightness, contrast and color settings. Many times when the color is funny or suddenly becomes unrealistic, readjusting the picture settings is an easy way to bring the picture back to normal. Adjusting the focus is an easy way to deal with a lack of sharpness in the TV picture.

    • 5
      Check the orientation of the monitor if the picture is not straight. Any sources of a strong magnetic field can also alter the orientation of the picture. Some TVs may also have an external tilt control that can be adjusted. If the TV has been jarred or knocked about, then the internal or external tile knob may have been knocked out.

    • 6
      Run an internal diagnosis on the TV. This internal diagnosis is normally found within the TV menu. It can be called different names depending on the manufacturer. The TV will check all functions and hardware. If a problem is detected, then a specific code is displayed on the screen. Write down the code and call the manufacturer. The manufacturer will be able to decipher what the code means and let you know what is causing the problem.

I have a rca HD52W59 and I am getting a double image of red and green tried the covergence setting does not help

Make sure your convergence is working or at least going thru the motions faster than normal . what was causing that to happen to my tv was that i had my component stereo speakers surrounding my tv on both sides and directly on top of the tv.what you have to do is take all speakers away from the tv unplug and hold the power button for 30 sec to totally discharge power from your tv let it sit unplugged overnight or least 4hrs .after that plug it in and adjust with convergence menu.

I left my tv on when I went to bed and the picture was fine. Then I woke up and turned it off. When I came home and turned it back on, the picture was blurry all around the tv except in the middle of the...

is the blurry all around the picture have different color like a smear of red, blue or yellow?
if it is i think the posistor of your tv is not working. it is the one who activate the degaussing coil around the picture tube the prevent color miss-landing upon opening your tv set.

The colors on my tv have separated, red, blue and green.

This a convergence problem. You maybe able to correct "electronically" by using the remote control and menu setup options. If you cant get where you need to go via remote control. A profession tweak may be needed inside the tv to phyiscally align the colors. good luck
