This TV has worked great for 5 years. Today the picture is not lined up and red, green, blue lines appear around everything. Picture is out of focus. The Magic Focus button goes thru its process, but then puts up a number "4" at the end... and the problem still exists. My biggest problem is that I am now living outside the US and will probably have problems finding anyone who can fix it. I read another email from someone who seemed to have almost the same problem and was wondering if the convergence amp was the problem. Is it something that snaps in an out.... or am I out of luck?
Use hitachi convergence kit STK392-150, I just had the same exact issue, u can buy this kit on the internet or a local TV shop, kit costs from $25.00 to $35.00. The convergence board is located (loking from the back of the TV) on the lower right side, its a long board, u'll have to remove it (all plugs should be labeled) and remove the old componets, and replace with this kit. After I installed it, did 1 magic focus, and it was perfect again
I had the same problem and they replaced the red converter IC.
