Replace IC Convergance chip in Panasonic PT-56HX41PF

The three blinks indicates a convergence IC fault. The convergence ICs must be replaced with the manufacturer replacement part. Use only the original replacement part. Your set uses STK392-110 convergence ICs.
These ICs are mounted on a large heat sink. Yes, you can replace it yourself and save few hundred bucks. But you must be knowledgeable enough on how to solder, resolder and use a multimeter.
You will need:

1. Convergence ICs
2. Heat sink grease or thermal compound
3. Soldering iron
4. Solder lead.
5. Digital multimeter
6. Solder pump
7. Small side cutter

Feel free to inform me if you decide to replace the ICs yourself

I would chack the solder connections at the convergence ICs first. Since the set "recovers" on its own, it suggests a connection issue rather than a defective component. Also, if the ICs were installed without sufficient heat sink compound, this could happen as well. Look at low valued resistors in the area of the ICs for signs of overheating as well.

Keep us posted on your progress.

Ur tv nane and model,the convergence IC chips will be in that kit.U know how to solder right?Tries these websites.Tv Repair World.com or Ebay.com.

If you are talking about removing old ICs use a cap of Alcohol to pour on top to loosen. Or use needle nose plyers to pull from hole on top side of ic s.

Yes you can get replacement IC STK392-110 convergence ICs at the following link and they provide free instalation instructions with pictures. The Ics are located on the board on the left side attached to a large heatsink. You will need to replace both ICs heres the link.

Thats the regulator chip for the convergence circuits thats the one youre most likely needing, as your chassis doesnt have convergence ICs. You can get that IC at the following link and they will provide free installation instructions and free on line tech support just in case you need assistance. Here is the link.

are the resisters ok?
i might suggest sending the board into ptscorp.com

they should be stk392-110. if you look in your set they are located on the left side of the chassis on the huge heatsink. you can get the numbers off the ics its big enough to see. you can get them at the following link for about 9.00
