42H83 Convergence Green convergence is curved... Do STKs ICs need to be replaced? I currently have STK392-110 ICs.

  • smag Aug 10, 2008

    Are STK392-150 acceptable replacement or should I stick to STk392-110.

  • smag Aug 20, 2008

    Changed both STK ICs (with -110) and all 6 1.8ohm resistors. Now all color are curved at the edges and I can not adjust convergence in Y, only in . Any ideas?

Yes the convergence ICs need to be replaced, however so dont the six 1.8 ohm 1watt resistors as Toshiba recomends replacing those six resistors when the ICs are changed. You can get the 50H71 / 50H82 Convergence repair kit as the 42H83 is identical to the 50H71 series, so the kit will work for your model. Heres the link where you can get the kit.

    The STK392-150 are suspossedly a direct interchange, But I have heard of problems switching them in toshibas and panasonics. I would recomens not going much higher than STK392-120 unless you change out the convergence resistors and ICs as a unit.

    Check the large two watt resistors near the Ics to see if any are open, Also double check the solder connections on the Ic pins.

Toshiba 42h83.... The blue convergence will not line up. The horizontal will but the vertical will only move so far. when touch focus starts the reds and greens are perfectly strait the blue vertical is...

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.

There is a blue shadow to the picture. The color chips were recently replaced and it has been doing this since the replacement. I have tried to adjust the convergence but on the screen with the cross hairs...

STK ICs that were replaced maybe the reason convergence is not lining up or you may have some open low ohm resistors that need to be replaced ,near convergence ICs. STK392-570.

I have a zenith rear projection screen.the left half of the screen is fine.the whole right hand side has a green tint and has double vision.

Bad convergence causes this replace STKs or whole convergence Board STK ICs are big black ICs will have part # on them STK392-110s call Mats for STKs 1-800-628-1118 or to replace whole board call Zenith exchange 1-800-632-6637 they even have power supply boards when in stock or they can rebuilt your board.

Picture is multi color, double shadows, curved

This is failure of convergence out ICs in TV. Qualified TV tech will replace convergence out ICs or board.

Can't control red convergence on VS-45607

The STKs are three channel ICs they each control horizontal and vertical of one color the third channel controls part of green and the other half of green is controled by the other ICs third channel. Its customary for the Ics to fail and only have one channel bad in the IC. However its recomended to change both because of the bad Ic having green it can actually weaken the other IC and that one will fail shortly.

You need to replace both convergence ICs they are both STK392-110 ICs. You can get replacements at the following link and they provide free instalation instructions with pictures on how to remove and replace the convergence ICs.Here is the link.
