Usually consumer described bowing is bad solder connects

on pins of convergence IC's. If the effort is made to pull the center PC board out,then replace both Stk392-570 IC's for

durability.

Note: V-Pin amp and pin out relates to left/right side bowed-in

issues,a problem not usually found on your model.

If the picture bows in from the top and bottom, the V-PIN amp has stopped working. If you smack the set and the bow goes away, it means that the V-PIN circuits are intermittent because of a cracked solder joint, most likely on one of the 2 output transistors. The set needs to be disassembled, the chassis pulled out and flipped over and the solder joints of all parts on heat sinks must be resoldered. If you have never done anything like that before, allow a qualified tech to handle it for you.

It is a convergence problem, probably one of the convergence ICs has blown and must be replaced. Call the number in the last pages of your user manual to get repair service in your area.

Bow like image

You likely have bad convergence output ic's type #STK392-570. These can be purchased at UED 800-648-6657. You will need to remove the board they are mounted on to be able to usolder the old ones and resolder the new ones. These will be mounted on heat sinks.
