Hi, Your problem is what you call vertical defflection circuit section, it is very rare that you would see the three line in the midle of the screen because they have protection narmaly to shut down the set's.
How to fix this, well you must locate the vertical ship, to see what it is, it narmaly say's on it LA7830 or LA7833 or LA7838 and Bla Bla Bla look for LAxxxx , ( a small ic flat standing upward, about 11/2" and 3/4" in hight and about 1/8" in thinkness) if it look's burt when you know what to do, I would also check to see if other parts that supply's the voltage to this ic's is burt, narmaly 12 to 30 volt dc., It may be also be located on a seperat board with the convergence, these or two big ic's starting with the part # STK, not to shure on you unit, don't have the schematic, but may be a board with lot's of Transistors , narmaly now these day's no one repair board, they just replace them, this is why it cost so mutch to fix.

I hope this help's

My convergence is not good how i can adjusting it
Please do us a favor and rate this by cliking the thumps up icon located here >>>>>>

Projection TV sets have two very common problems. One is convergence ( 3D/Warped video) the other is CRT fluid ( Dull Video). Below are more details for both items. Also, complete repair kits with instructions and repair support are avail from site such as www.TvRepairKits.com

Common Problem #1) Convergence has gone out

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 pics of convergence problems.

Common Problem #2) CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

Blue line trouble
Hi Kracka,

Are you able to post a picture of the problem?

It sounds from your description that it might be a 'convergence' problem which is when the red, green and blue parts of the image aren't alligned properly.

Check in your menu to see if there is a convergence setting.

Hope this helps

RCA P46921. Just changed flyback.
First, this assumes nothing else is going on to cause it. Here's what I did. Go to the 'green grid' via the v76 menu and go through the alignment there. Notice that there are red letters, blue letters, and a green grid. While you are in this screen, adjust the red, green, and blue focus watching the individual color's item until they are in focus. If they won't focus here, they won't focus and you have something else wrong (what I do not know). Then, return to normal programming, then select menu on the remote, then screen, then adjust projection tv convergence both horizontal and vertical crosshare. That ought to get it.

Blue, green, and red colors all off
I would suggest having a repair person come out to your place to fix this problem. I believe the convergence IC are going or have gone bad. I would estimate a $300 - $400 dollar repair bill.
