Out of Focus

When I came home today my TV was severly...not sure what to call it, but there were the colors weren't lined up for the picture. From reading some of the other posts, I'm thinking convergence. I attempted to use the "Perfect Focus" feature on my TV. The Green hopped around quite a bit and some of the lines were broken. Read and Blue both appeared to be about the same. The final white test never quite lined up completely white on the right side of the screen. Looks Green & Purple. I'm assuming this is the Red and Blue lining up...but the Grean isn't even close. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Techman. I opened up the TV found the STK modules you were mention. I searched for the part number online and found them from $14 to $31. I have no experience with TV's and after seeing what needed to be done I realized there was no way I could get those suckers off let alone get them back on.

I did notice a part number for the entire board (BP95-00142P), I work on PC's and I can handle replacing the entire thing. It's about $95, I figure that's less expensive than paying for someone to come out and solder on STK's. Does anyone know if the entire board includes the STK modules?

Alingment is also off. Tried to focus manually but the outsides of the screen could not even get them close. Center of screen is focused perfectly. Perfect Focus didn't do a Damm thing!

If you have no experience repairing TV sets your going to have to have a tech replace the convergence ICs they are soldered into place and will probably need to be readjusted when this is done. if you know how to work on tvs then replacing the STK type ics in a pair is whats needed Good Luck

Picture problems

OK to help assist everyone having the BLUE HUE and CURVED LINES Issue on their Rear Projection HDTV no matter their model. Here are the steps to take. The first thing to check is the FOCUS BLOCK or G2 Focus Transformer or CRX F-Pack. I have replaced mine, however it didn't resolve the issue. I am onto the next item the CRT Board for Blue (Which is the board under one of the three color lamps inside your tv) Please see photo below (if photo is not large enough below go to link to review notes as well) If the CRT Board is not it, then the next step will be the Signal Board which is a larger board in the back. In a week I will have a picture of both.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Remove the outside cover
Remove the wood plank/panel
In the front is the G2 Focus Block/Transformer, while set is on turn the top 3 knobs till the screen goes black/dark grey.
adjusting the colors till you receive the desired or normal color/picture.
Once you have received the proper color/picture tap the side of the Focus Block.
IF The colors go out of wack again and the blue comes back strong then this "CAN BE" the Focus Block.

Replace the G2 Focus Block aka Focus Transformer, if Hitachi it's called a CRX F-Pack. This item will cost about $50. Not expensive. You will likely need a soldiering iron. DO TURN OFF & UNPLUG THE TV WHEN INSERTING ANY METAL OBJECTS INTO THE TV!!

FOLLOW THE PHOTOS/DIAGRAM in link below for assistance in the above instructions. I will post my next process since it was not my Focus Block that was an issue.
