How to fix the color alinements

Hi My name is jay I have a 57 in Sony modle KP-57HW40, now my problem was all the words were dbled or even trippled and on the far edge in a diameter of i would say maybe 4 inch of the 3 seperate colors of red blue and green, also on top and bottom of screen theres a curve inside the curve is blacked out now if im correct it would be do to the alinements of convergment i do say this for the curves as well only for the fact its only on some chanels, i use time warner so my tv is always on video 1 and is fixed so cant be changed ... just saying if makes a difference on the curves lol. Now Iv googled and watched many things to fix the problem as far as buying a kit and what not but my gut was telling me it just wasnt it just yet, I started found a manual to throw the tv into service menu ( wich i did because if you go into menu on remote there is no convergence menu to change the color alinment) now i do relize not to mess with anything i shouldnt so i went to straight to PJE now while i was here lmao i had not clue how many things alone were in this catgory but eventualy i found the colors saying for example red on top then right below it would say cnter so in my head i was thinking these were the one so i pressed 6 a few times till i had a grid started messing with that and some how i turned it from a grid of squares to lines going straight up and down the screen but the colors still were not alined so i went back to the coler scheme as i mentioned erlier as far as red and center and turned all 3 colors to 0 0 , they were all in different numbers as far as like possitive such and such or negitive ethere rangeing to like 500 etheer way poss or neg. Long story short i was up until 4 in the morning messing with it some weredown the line i pushed the what i believe flash button on the tv itself while in service mode and got error g lo level 50 so maybe this is whats wrong idk? but i went to bed didnt bother to see the results on cable was to tired woke up looked and everything basical went to 80 % better was a huge difference as far as double people shadows and what not butin the corners of the tv you can still see the red green blue coler difference and still have the curves any ideas.

You need to replace the two STK-392-560 CHIPS THIS SET USES AND DO NOT RUN THE SET WITH CONVERGENCE BOWED or soon you will have other parts bad.

I have a Sony Color Rear Video Projector Model KP-57HW40. Its blue color is not working anymore and noticed some burn smell by the set which controls such blue color.

It may be the CRT drive board which is attached to the bottom of the Blue CRT. I would check that Board for signs of being burnt it may need to be replaced.

If after the Flash Focus™ feature has been performed, the colors on the FLASH FOCUS screen do no line up (converge), press the FLASH FOCUS button on the television to begin the cycle again. If the colors on the FLASH FOCUS screen continues to appear misaligned, service will be required .
