I believe i am having a convergence problem. the top half of my screen has double vision and slight discoloration however the bottom half is just fine. how do i fix this myself?

Replace the convergence ICs they will be big black ICs and will have Part number on them example STK392-110
Mats Electronics has them for 9.95 each you will need 2 .
1-800-628-1118

The tv have a problems"Known as a Convergence problems"it,dead.The tv convergence board reqiure changing 2 STK convergence ICS and some or all it resistors to solved the convergence problems.The shop will cost u $300-350 for parts and labors.

Ur tv have convergence problems,it dead.U must know how to solders?U must replaced 2 STK convergence ICS and some or all it resistors.Tries websites like Tv repair World.com,Tvrepairkits.com to buy a convergence kit to repair it ur self.The shop will cost u $300-350 for parts and labors.

Howdy,

The TV has a convergence problem; the IC’s for that circuit will need to be replaced. The part(below) Number is from Toshiba, they provide good advice on replacement parts. Make sure what type of IC's your TV uses first. The cost for this repair runs around $450.00 or more.

Replace the defective Convergence Output IC Part Number
23905094 (STK392-110) using the revised “T” version IC Part Number
23135090 (STK392-110T). When Convergence Output failure is
detected, it’s recommended that both IC’s be changed to the “T” type IC
version. Inspect the Convergence Output IC’s for the “T” type version as
shown in Figure 2. Replace the Convergence Output IC’s using the “T”
type version Part Number 23135090 (STK392-110T).

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue.

Thanks for choosing FixYA, Big Irish.

More than likely your akai has defective stk392-040 Convergence chips . it also may have open resistors generally 3.9 ohm flame proff. this board is attached to the top left looking from the back of the set it is screwed on by 1 screw black in the center . after installation this will probably half to be converged dinamically. which means you will half to get to the grid this is done by using the remote press mute 183 quicly to enter numbers on thew remote 2 to adjust red 4 to adjust blue horizonta 6 to adjustred vertical and 8 to adjust red vertical using center button to go up and down

This problem from what you are describing is a convergence issue the customer menu has a option that might help set convergence. if that doesent work a technician may have be called to adjust convergence or see what part has failed in the convergence cuicit

Your convergence ICs are bad and maybe the two resistors right next to them. This is an easy and inexpensive repair if you can solder. A repair shop will run about 400.00 The parts are readily available for about 10.00 each you will need two ICs STKXXX-XXX
Look inside your set for a large aluminum heat sink that's where hey are located they will have an STK number like above stamped on them. Those are the part numbers. Let me know what type of TV and model number you have and I can help you locate the proper parts.

Good Day, turott1;

You need repair in the convergence circuit, purchase KIT 10. You can buy this at B&D ENTERPRISES, at 1-800-458-6053.

Good Luck, big IRISH.

the convergence IC`s and associated resistors have to be replaced, do not repeatedly push magic focus or the alignment after the parts change out will take longer which of course means higher repair bill, good luck

I'm assuming you were having picture quality problems prior to pressing the auto convergence button. If not then there could be a problem in that circuit. More likely I believe is a problem on the convergence board assembly or in the pincushion circuits. Also, check your owners manual to see if there is a manual convergence adjustment you can do.
