This problem is the "pincussion" setup on the convergence board. It, however can be caused by a failing power supply. If the set takes more than 60 seconds to produce the picture and up to 10 minutes to fully produce a good picture, even with the problem, power supply. Most likely if it does not do the mentioned it is the pin amp on the convergence board.

I have an hourglass image on the screen and the colors where the screen warps are all separated. I was wondering if that can be fixed or if the tv isn't worth it. Thanks for the help

yes it is fixable and way cheaper than buying a new one all u have to do is change the convergence they are 2 IC's usually located in the video board attached to a aluminum heat sink side by side.

Hello,

Your convergence amplifiers are begining to malfunction. This is not expensive However I would advise that you get a qualified TV technician to work on the set due to a chance of damaging you TV if you install the amplifiers incorrectly.

I hope this helps

thank you,

My 52 inch RCA HD/TV Does not turn on

Replace CP150 on the deflection board and that should take care of the problem since it starts once in a wnile if it didnt start ever then you would need the 259296 flyback and the CP150 Capacitor.

Have you ever had this problem?

Sorry Ginko, but a convergence problem would have the curves down from the top and up from the bottom. The hourglass shape is a pincushion problem. This can be as simple as a bad capacitor in the pincushion circuit.

Could you please confirm the model number so I can look up the probable part?

Thanks,
Dan

Picture coming on then goes out black

When the set goes off, does it die completly or do you still have audio through the TV speakers? If the whole set goes dead, it could be a High Voltage shutdown problem or something more simple like a bad solder connection in the power supply. You will need a Tech to look at it to determine the best course of action. In the past, RCA has had huge problems with solder connections that they made good after the warranty period ended, but overall, after the company was bought by a French outfit, it was never the same, and I've been repairing them since 1976. Their reliability did allow me to send two kids to college, and I do own a trade-in 60" RCA projection TV for myself that I plan to keep for about another year before going HDTV myself.

Hi , I have a Toshiba 42 inch Theater wide rear projection tv . I got the tv used from someone on Craigslist and when I got it home plugged it in , it took about 30 minutes to actually get a good picture . After the picture came in at its best , there is about 2 inches the way way accross the top of the screen that is shaky kind of like a waving flag . Its a pretty good picture if I could stop that waving , I didnt get the remote with the set or the manual so dont know if there is something that the remote could do to fix this or not . Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated . Also I can be emailed at [email protected] Thank you
