Panasonic projection hdtv 51"

1. entire grill below front screen must come off (usually held in place by screws in back on either side.)

2. locate and remove inspection plate dead center behind it.

3. Locate small black plastic block with 6 black controls built in; three (look carefully) left to right are focus--DO NOT TOUCH THOSE.

The other three are Screens and will be marked with tiny letters r g b (red, green, blue) and green is always middle.

Locate the red screen (not FOCUS).

With set on adjust red down just slightly(usually less than 1/8 turn.

Since the set will be on TAKE CARE NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING INSIDE THE SET WHEN YOU DO THIS.

IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ASK BEFORE YOU TRY THIS.

SET uses two of the STK-392-150 convergence chips for this, both need to be replaced and set adjusted.

Parts cost on EBAY will be under 25 dollars. I can help if you are do it yourself person. A shop will get 250-300 for this but you can do it for much less.

Can I assist you?

I had the same problem and fixed it myself with a kit from www.TvRepairKits.com. Works great now.

This is a very common failure on Projection sets. Its called a convergence problem.
You may have one or more of the following symptoms.
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.
No Audio / No Video - Makes Chirping Sounds
You can see some examples and find a fix here...

Still the convergece prob.The FL231 fuse near the FBT transformer it dead.The square fuses 3 rectangles fuses.One in the middle.

sounds like the bulb is on its way out, they can be replaced for about 100 bucks.

was your tv hit hard,a non magnetically shielded speaker set on top or under it?

Blue convergence off = needs convergence IC's replaced =
Would you like step - by - step how to ??????

requires service, horizontal fold over and possible other problems to come .

The windex/water was wicked up into the screens by capillary action, I have always replaced them and havent been able to clean.
