Blue Halo - convergence issue with 43Hx70

My convergence appears to be way out of wack on my toshiba 43HX70, but only on the lower 3rd of the screen. The Blue is way off. I see a blue ghosting or halo effect.

Any suggestions

The most likely cause is shorted convergence chips and possibly a few pico fuses.

These sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the picture to look normal. This is called convergence.

When its out of alignment the video will look 3-D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired. Convergence problems are very common on all Projection TV sets including Sony,Samsung,JVC,Philip Magnavox,Panasonic,Akai,PioneerBlue Halo - convergence issue with 43Hx70 - 2_bing.gif Hitachi,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.

Image on screen looks concave(middle of screen looks farther away than left or right side.)

Roseannmace,
Your TV is out of convergance. You'll probably noticed that there are red, green, and blue images. You'll need to determine if the problem is in the power supply or the convergance board. Usually, the convergance amps go bad and opens resistors. Do you know how to read a schematic and use a multimeter? You will also need to know how to remove the old parts and solder the new parts into the circuit board.

Ken.

Toshiba 43HX70 convergence problem

One or both of the STK convergence chips have probably failed.

I can give you guidance on this if you are confident to do the repair. I had the same problem with my Tosh 40WH08B and after replacing these chips it works like new.

Convergence problem

sounds like you need to change the convergence chip to me. you can order a kit with instructions from www.tvrepairkits.com for most tv's.
If you plan on doing this you need a good soldering gun and a steady hand.

Toshiba 43HX70 convergence fix - now no video

I think the hardest to solve problems are those I installed!!
Where do we start==no lecture,but I never change a resistor
unless it has changed (in value!) Use a digital meter and check
the value of each resistor.Toshiba is a bit confusing as to values
of each resistor and location in relation to the IC's.Go over your own work first.Check micro fuses in power supply=F851,F852,
etc. Carefully resolder steel jumper wires at board edge,they feed
B+ to convergence amp circuit.Be sure to verify no shorts in pins
of IC's.(use your meter).........T
