HD TV problem

Probably just a complete screen.

You cannot replace a screen that big. The manufacturers wont ship it to you. IT has to be done by an authorized service center.

No repair can be done for a broken screen. Replacement only can be done. But it will cost 2/3rd of the total cost of the TV. If you think it is OK, replace it. Otherwise buy a new TV. It will be the best.

You need to replace the LCD screen. This WEB site may have a LCD screen for your TV.

No--this is called a PDP or plasma display panel and no two (even same brand) can be interchanged.

The cost of a Panel exceeds the cost of a new set--broken screen=fatal issue.

Yes - just be careful with the ribbon cables. You are going to be replacing the LCD portion - behind it is the backlight assembly. Some may come with the entire assembly in one. You may need to do a little research to get a replacement - use Google to find a distributor.

No repair can be done, only replace, but it would cost more than the tv's worth, Not good news for you!

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.

Convergence problems are very common on all Projection TV sets including Sony, Samsung, JVC, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Akai, Pioneer, Hitachi, Zenith, and others. You can get a convergenece repair kit from the link below.

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 - TV may also make a chirping noise.

Here are some photos of convergence problems.





Here is a quick test....

Using your original remote go-to the settings menu then goto the convergence section.

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.

You should be able to move RED and BLUE in all directions - up, down, left, and right.

If you can't move them in all directions or cant move them far enough your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.

Note: If you TV has as flash focus or magic focus button only try pressing the button. If it fails to fix the convergence your need to fix it. See below for a solution

CONVERGENCE SOLUTION

You will need to replace the convergence chips and possibly some convergence resistors and pico fuses.
This is a a fairly easy DIY job if you know what you are doing. If you have never done this before we would advise calling a shop or if you want to do it yourself get a complete kit with instructions and support from www.TvRepairKits.com

WRITE IT OFF YOUR COST FOR THE SCREEN ALONE WILL PROBOBLY EXCEED THE COST OF THE TV

all you can do is chase a used
Toshiba (Theater Wide HD) Model NO.20HLV86

or buy a replacement TV

was it covered under contents damage insurance ?

this TV has been discontinued
the design of this screen means its put together
layer by layer .sandwiched ..not just a glass cover

a screen replace can't be done
unless the Toshiba company "TV parts division " has the exact same screen to supply to your local TV repair man

Even finding circuitry boards to be supplied for that model have a slim chance
