Green color comes on and off

When TV is on, the green color sometimes isnt being projected or very lightly as there is a heavy red tint. stuff that is supposed to be normally green is very dull or gray colored. Occasionally i will see a light green flash cover the whole screen and the picture will be normal again. It is intermittent and goes from normal to green not working frequently. Lots of light green flashing. Had the convergence board replaced last year. When green is out, perfect focus does not work and unable to do any green convergence from the menu. Please help! Thanks!

I have tested it with my DVD player hooked up and when using that it displays the same problem. Also when i watch cable through direct tv, i see the problem. I havent got to the back yet to test the connections. I was in the back a week or so prior hooking up a Wii i just bought. I had to pull out the TV only slightly to do this.

Not sure if the movement or loose cables could be doing this?

I was looking at the back of the TV yesterday and noticed that when the green is apparently gone, i am unable to see the green being projected at all from the back. I can see the blue and the red projectors throwing off color, but the green projector is dead. I am not sure the technical name for the part. IT looks round as is between the blue and red.

I also have come to notice that if the TV is off for a while then the green works fine for a couple hours. AFter it has been on for awhile is when the green starts flickering on and off.

I have tried hitting the side and moving it around and it does seem to have no affect on having the green come back on.

I need some answers here... Do you have only one video source to test it? Is this happening with an external source or with your tv tuner or both? I need more info....

If sometimes, if you move or hit the tv the green colour flashes, it means that the colour card of your tv is loose. Maybe if you open up the tv and check if all the cards are firmly attached to the tv (something like the pci cards on the motherboard on pc). Also check the cables which are connected to the projection system of your tv.

BE AWARE OF THE VOLTAGE THAT THE TV MAY KEEP EVEN IF YOU HAVE UNPLUGED IT. IT HOLDS HIGH VOLTAGE INSIDE THE CAPACITORS.

Just try with a plastick stick or something. If i was near i could easily fix this for you but now i can only offer you advice.

It's best for you to take the tv to a local tv service rather than trying something extreme with this voltage all around.

Health and security is first of all.
If you have a little experience with electronics go ahead and try my solution.

Thanks for your time.

I hope your problem will get solved ;)

HCL4715W Green Color intermittently projecting

It sounds like the common problem with this set. It is an intermittant picture tube, or there is a loose connection on the green drive board on the green picture tube. Try lightly tapping all around on the green drive board while the set is on and see if you have any change. BUT BE VERY CAREFUL! Lots of high voltage on the board. Also use a plastic or wooden device to do the tapping. If you do great, you know you need to resolder the connections on the board or clean the CRT socket on the green drive board. If there is no change, I would bet the green CRT is on its way out. But try tapping the green drive board all over as I said before, that is a very very common fault with these types of TV sets. Good Luck

What would cause my jvc tv have a green tint

It sounds like you can have optical engine issue. That's if green tint was show up very gradually, until one day it really caught your attention.Normally some parts of the screen more green than other. It should get progressively worse. To solve this issue optical engine have to be replaced. It is pretty expensive repair if your TV is out of the warranty.
In case if tint appeared suddenly in one moment - you can try to check component cable connection on the back of your TV if you are using one ( green, blue and red colored). Sometimes it's loose or after disconnection people reconnecting it in wrong way.
Experienced tech will determine if optical engine is bad by running test patterns in special service mode. If green tint present on Grey scale - optical engine is bad.
Sorry for bad news.
Regards.
Russ.

My projection tv lost its blue tint

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. Usually this happens when the Light Engine has gone bad, and I should say this is a common issue with Projection TVs. There are three tubes/mini LCDs inside your TV- green/yellow, blue and red. When the set heats up over time of usage the screens tend to break resulting in leaking color everywhere. The cost to get this fixed by a professional should be around $300 depending on the parts that needs to be replaced. Please do accept the solution if the issue is resolved or else revert for further assistance.

Thanks
Rylee

Philips 55

This tint of green may just be one of the chips going out(There are three chips: red, green, and blue.). You can buy these for about $80-$100, but sometimes they are hard to come by(depends on where you are). You may also try to readjust the screen from the back. If you look in the back if you remov the wood that covers the back of your TV, there should be about 6 little knobs you are able to turn(Focus, red, green, blue, tilt, or reset...i think).try that...

It also depends on however long you have had this TV. It this time: you may also want to buy new resistors, for some of them may just blow out right after you fix the chip.(they are about 50 cents-1 dollar).

Hope that helps
