Right side convergence
A convergence IC has burned out. If I remember correctly, those Pioneer sets have one huge convergence IC, but that IC only has 5 channels in it so they use another smaller dual STK IC and one half of it is used for the 6th channel and the other half is the vertical output. Look on the convergence board, find the blue convergence jack, identify the blue horizontal channel, follow the traces and replace the IC handling the blue horizontal channel.
yes beforhand the tv was working just fine then one day the convergence was all over the place, not sure of where you would want me to put the meter to test if the board is blown, im still waiting for the schematics to come in. wish i could just buy a whole new board somewhere
well it must be getting power as the convergence chip (single) is getting hot and some other places, noticed some traces were under extreme heat as the paint burnt off the board but traces remain, visually i see nothing else wrong, even if one trace was bad some of the pot's should make changes when you turn em but nothing on all of them, maybe the convergence chip itlself...? you know where i could get a whole convergence board for this model by anychance?
