Question about Akai PT4298HD Rear Projection Television

I have a 42'' where the color in the top left corner seems to have separated, or shifted. The picture is ghosted in red and green in this area. It happened all of a sudden.

Your TV most likely has a convergence failure. ( common problem )

Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem

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.

Here are some photos of convergence problems.

I have a 42 - 3dc9420.jpg

Here is a quick test....

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

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.

You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.

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

SOLUTION

You will need to replace the convergence chips and possibly some convergence resistors and pico fuses. Its a fairly easy DIY job or you can call in a pro. If you want to do the repair yourself check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, thermal paste, email/phone support, etc.

I can't seem to correct a tint problem. The tv turns on and the tint doesn't change. A friend says it could be a vidoe card?

Go to menue on controller, then Picture, then adjust Color and Tint to you taste. The color ajusts Blue and Green move left more blue move the slider right more green. The Tint controlls red. More red move right less left. Also chech Color temp setting.

Akai tv PT4298HD wont turn on. Only timer light turns on. I unplugged my tv when the picture went off and to a static snow screen. We unplugged it and plugged it back in, when we turned it back on all that came on was the timer light.

AKAI PT5492 no power - only timer comes on My AKAI PT5492 rear projection TV has been working fine since 2001 and yesterday, without warning, it would not turn on. The timer light did go on and will now not go off. In addition, there is a clicking sound every few seconds. I unplugged the unit until I can determine what to do. Thanks- -Fred
