I wish it was that simple. On this chassis there are many parts that have gone bad in the past to cause this very symptom. So many in fact that there is a repair kit available that contains common failure parts p/n 250686-KIT. This is NOT a DIY project as many of the parts are small and would be hard to locate and impossible to replace by anyone not having superior soldering skills. It would not surprise me if the repair on this set would set you back about $350. If you can get a free estimate, great, but if you can swing it, you may be better off putting that money towards a new DLP rear projection NON RCA HDTV. I have had good luck with Toshiba sets for the last several years, and Consumer Reports seem to agree with me.

Dir TV projection Techcions, I own RCA Model:P52937 Chassis No.PTK195M26B. After a big flood here in Chicago, my basement got flooded and my projection TV was in water up to 1 foot. Befor I turned it on, I dreid it out perfectly, then, I turned it on, and a couple components from the power supply got burned up to the point where I am not able to read the part numbers that are on it. I was wondering if you have this kind of chassis and model service manual for this projection TV, or conponet part number i location 101 on mother boatd power supply. Thank you in advance, Darius If you prefeer, you may call my cell phone: 773-875-3926

RCA P46159 Convergence

Why would the set go out of adjustments? I highly doubt if the set needs only alignment. These adjustments are for small drifts only. If anything is way out more then what the on screen can adjust, you have a problem with the convergence correction circuit. There is a convergence power supply in this set that goes bad a lot in these TV sets. There is also a convergence driver board. These RCA sets do not have the integrated IC's like most sets do. Each convergence yoke, horizontal as well as the vertical, has two independent power amp circuits driving them. And that's for all there tubes. So there are 6 separate amps controlling the convergence in these TV sets. You really should call in an RCA authorized repair shop to assist you in this repair. Good Luck

Distorted picture

The RCA P52960 uses the PTK195 series chassis. There are 2 main boards at the bottom of the set and above the board on the right (when viewed from behind) is the convergence power supply board. This board usually has a big black IC on it, labeled STK730-010 and bolted to a metal heat sink. Chances are, that IC has burned out and stopped working. Replacing that IC should restore your convergence. If you do not have experience replacing IC's in projection sets, allow a qualified tech to handle it for you.
