My samsung projection tv has blue wavy lines on top of screen, I adjusted convergence, the blue will not line up horizontally, is there a inexpensive solution?
It means one of the chips has a bad section inside it, both chips and maybe a resistor near them will have to be replaced, involves soldering as each has about 18 pins soldered in

Check with TVrepairparts.com who sells some kits for this by brand and model number

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

Convergence problems are very common on all Projection TV sets including Sony,Samsung, JVC, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Akai, Pioneer, Hitachi, Zenith, and others. You can get a convergenece repair kit wiith instructions from the links below.

Wavy Screen on Startup
I gather from your post that wavy can mean two possible things as the TV comes on, you see the picture flow like ocean waves? In this case you may have 60Hz hum modulating with the picture, this is actually unlikely these days, but I have heard it happens sometimes. The other thing it could be is light horizontal tearing. This happens when the horizontal frequency is too high or too low. You are not going to like my solution because I feel that for problems like this the set must be analyzed not just subjected to "shotgun troubleshooting", so here I go, Take the TV to a repair shop.

The tv is approximtely 7 years old. It has rescently been unable to turn on. All the power sources are good. The button to turn on will light up red, and the tv will power up, with no picture. Then suddenly the tv will shut off and the red power light will blink on and off then go off. Any thoughts?
