Bmarino18,

Initially I would have told you to replace the convergence ICs but after reading your post carefully I think you could have a problem with the convergence box. The lines can only be bent/curved for two reasons. One - the yokes are bad causing an undue strain on the power supply and not being able to correct the problem. Two - the convergence box/board is bad and is not holding the settings causing the curve you see. I cannot tell you which problem you have. You wil have to determine this. I do have a tip at http://www.fixya.com/support/r4273935-replace_digital_convergence_box which may be helpful.

Thanks for using FixYa and for the great rating.

Hi, my tv shows a double image with red outline I pressed the Touch Focus and the red did not have a verticle was straight line, but the horizontal line was not straight, but came back with touch focus...

you have a convergence problem
it will require a couple new ics its best to replace as a pair stk392-110 although i recommed using the stk392-150 as a replacement and also there are some jumpers that should be resolderd on those boards to assure continued operation hope this helps you

Convergence issues with Toshiba 42H83 - Red lines will not align

Absolutely! if the consumer control has failed to rectify the problem you need expert help. There are two control boards near the power supply 1 or both are involved and more than 90% of the time both of the boards have to be replace otherwise the problem will occur again in a short time.
It is not a DIY project for the unskilled as it has to be tuned correctly when it is installed.
Better to leave it to the professional

Will not 'Touch Focus' - Toshiba 42H83

1)I have yet to learn any advantage to replacing -110's with -150's
I think there is a misconception that increasing numbers =
better,more durable results....Actually, using OEM or better
quality should be most important.Generics from any source
tend to be seconds,thirds, junk ! Name brand are first quality
2)Check B+ feed resistors next to convergence IC's = burnt ?

3)Solder wire jumpers on signal board = 008,010,017,600,etc.

TOUCH FOCUS ERROR on Projection Toshiba TV

  • Screen is bowed or warped.

You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together convergence repair kits for most models.

The kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, thermal paste, etc. Everything you will need to do the repair yourself.
