Philip Model 55PP9401

Just replaced the convergence, and the green is still way off. The blue and red will line up but the green will not.

The Green is Standard, meaning it is what you should lign the red and blue up with. But if it's not true in shape there is something wrong with the green.

I have a philips 55 and all of asudden my tv looks like its in 3D.

Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired.

This is a very common failure on these projection sets and a fairly simple DIY fix. All projection sets including Samsung, RCA, Sony, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Pioneer, Akai, GE, JVC, Toshiba, and others at some point will have the same problem.

Common Symptoms include....

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.
TV shuts off after powering on. Power light will blink. TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some photos of convergence problems.

Here is a quick test....

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

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.

You should be able to move RED and BLUE in all directions - up, down, left, and right. And you should be able to get the grid straight.

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

Note: If you TV has as flash focus or magic focus button only try pressing the button. If it fails to fix the convergence your need to fix it. See below for a fix

Intellisense button

If the model number on the set is 55PP9401/55 you have an interesting set----this model says Philips but was made by Hitachi---they made them for Philips for one year while Philips was gearing up to produce their own sets---very good set and is better than the Philips sets that came after it.
It uses (if it is this model) two STK-392-110 CONVERGENCE IC's----both need to be replaced and the set adjusted---no need for an original remote---with the set engaged in the convergence adjustment mode( there is a micro switch on the front of the main circuit board) A HITACHI REMOTE CAN THEN BE USED TO ADJUST THE CONVERGENCE. Hope this was helpful.

Philips 55PP9401 Green Out?

This is a PP15 Philips Chassis Designation.
It's based on the DP15 Hitachi Chassis w/ Different Micro.
Hitachi DP15 Model: 53UDX10B
It's most likely that the convergence amps have failed and if you have little experience in electronics I'd STRONGLY suggest you take this one to the shop.
This set takes two STK392-110 Ics and it's recommended you upgrade those to the STK392-150s for greater reliability.
They make a nice kit complete with all conv. Ic's and all (6) resistors and complete instructions. Tritronics carries them part # X480295 (Jt22053 Repair Kit).
