My tv kinda of ghost and its there's a big red strip going thru the middle of the tv

The tv is have a problems call convergence,it dead.U have all the tools like soldering iron,solder and desoldering pump.Know basic soldering?The convergence fuses FL231 three of them on the right side of FBT,a big block of plastic of a flyback transformer.Resoder the FBT,replaced the convergence fuse FL231 in the middle.The Ebay.com sell the convergence fuse.

hello it sound like the convergance ic may be the problem these chips sit behind the tuner board connected to a metal frame called a heat sink they are soldered in. also you will have to check the resistor in front of the chips also check the 2 capacitors at either end it would be best to get a quote from and engineer good luck

I'm affraid to say that your screen has got a PDP/LCD fault. Just like a tube going on a TV. This is a fault which is beyond economical repair

The master convergence settings have to be close for the Autoconvergence to work. If they are not you need a technician to go into the service menu and adjust them.This is a long job and you can't do it yourself.

Good Day, jhazelwd;
From what you say it sounds like the Convergence IC's have failed. Part number 267P150010, STK392-570, replace both IC's. They are on the middle board secured to a large heat sink.
Good Luck, big IRISH.

replace vertical IC and shadows/ghosting the problem is either electrolytic capcitor or video IC or convergence adjustment

Well this is the fix for the usual Ghosting problem....

To bring up the "service" menu, put the TV in standby mode, then press in sequence :

Onscreen Display ( the little screen with the i+ in it )
5 ( channel number 5 )
Volume Up ( upper end of volume button )
Analogue ( middle top button )

The TV should switch on and when it's warmed up, you should see a screen with lots of big green lettering on it.

Press the "menu" button ( middle bottom )

Use the direction dial to move down to "LCD Drivers" and press right on the dial to enter this menu.

Move down to "S H Pos Reg R". It should be "10", change it to "11". ( Left/Right to adjust )
Move down to "S H Pos Reg G". It should be "10", change it to "11".
Move down to "SHPos Reg B". It should be "10", change it to "11".

Press the menu bottom to drop out of the menus, and the standy button to drop to standby. Switch back on, and hopefully your ghosting will be gone

Go into your service menu and try to adjust the convergence, if it does not adjust, the IC's ( chips) are bad in that circuit. Call a local factory authorized dealer to service your tv. The cost should run around $450.00. Good luck.

the convergence ICs are bad. replacing the ICs usually fixes it - they cost about 15 bucks each.
