Ghosting and popping noises

Your convergence has failed and needs to be repaired. Once quick test is to goto your convergence menu and see if you can adjust red and blue. If not its has failed and needs to be fixed. You can call in a repair shop or you can get the parts and instructions from www.TvRepairKits.com and do the repair yourself. Its a fairly easy DIY fix.

what is the "best solution" as I too am having this problem on the same tv?
Thanks.

LOOKS LIKE U HAVE RECEPTION PROBLEM WHERE U LIVE......IF U USE A INDOOR ANTENNA MOVE IT AROUND UNTIL U GET A CLEAR OR BETTER PICTURE OR BETTER CONNECT TO A OUTDOOR AERIAL///////
IF PROBLEM PERSIST GO IN CONTACT WITH TOSHIBA SERVICE CENTER

Hi,

First,If there are double images or "ghost" images on the TV's picture, check the cable connections and make sure they are secure.Because the loose cable connection would be a chance for the ghost picture

But if the cable is perfect and if you still get ghost picture then here is the solution:

The LCD Panel is defective. The problem is the T-con board that is used to decode the signal from the main board to the LCD Panel. The only way to fix it is to replace the whole LCD Panel or T-con board if possible. The T-con will cost about 1/10 of the price as the LCD panel but except for a few new models, the T-con is not available. The LCD Panel is very expensive (usually from $600-700 for a 32" Sony).

The reason is that Sony makes the T-cons for each individual TV with different specs to match that of the LCD panel because of the low threshold for error between the LCD Panel and the T-con.

Its best to avil warranty and change the panel...

Please leave me comment, if you need furher assitance

What kind of shadowing are you seeing? Doe the picture look like a 3D movire (colors separated)? What is the make and model?

Please update this with the above info and I'll provide possible solutions.

Thanks,

It's a common problem, but not the only one, it could also the the z-board

GOOD DAY ND GOOD LUCK;

TRY THIS, IT WILL CORRECT CONCERN:

50V500 ONLY
GHOST: May be described as "Out of Convergence" but ghost is still attached to main image.
CONDITION:
A "ghost image" appearing to the left or right of images in the picture. Can be varying shades of a primary color (red, green, or blue) as well as gray. Can easily be seen in the 4 x 3 mode, at the edges of the picture.
CORRECTION:

To correct the problem, please do as follows:

1. Access I2C Menu. (See page 57 of the Service Manual).
   

1. To enter the I2C Service Menu, with power off, (on the front control panel) press and hold the INPUT button. Then press the POWER button for two seconds. The following Service Menu will appear.
   

Figure 1

1. BEFORE CONTINUING: CONFIRM THAT THE R, G and B DRIVE ARE SET AT 40.
   

• Be sure to press SELECT after each change to SAVE the new Data.
  

1. Using the Remote Control joy stick, scroll down to next page (see Figure 2) until LCD ADJUST is highlighted.
   

Figure 2

1. Move the joy stick to the right to cursor right once. The next page will appear with the word GHOST highlighted.
   
2. Cursor right again, and a white screen will appear with a BLACK SQUARE in the center, as in Figure 3. You will see LCD ADJUST, followed by “SHP” and a number (value).
   

Figure 3

1. If the unit is out of adjustment, you will see a gray ghost on either side of the black square. Move the joystick to the right or to the left until the ghost disappears. The number values will change up or down.
   • If the ghost adjustment is off with a lower value, there will be a ghost to the left of the square.
     
   • If the ghost adjustment is off with a higher value, there will be a ghost to the right of the square.
     
2. Once you get the square to look good without ghosts, press "SELECT" to save any data values that have been changed.
   
3. Press the "EXIT" button three times to return to normal picture.
   
4. Adjustment is completed
   
5. I HOPE THIS WAS HELPFUL, big IRISH.
   

how old is the tv ??
if this tv is older than 5 years it may need to refill the liquid on the proyection bulbs and/or could have contaminats in the fluid causing the ghost and to fix that you will need a professional person to do it

If the ghosting is like a 3D effect its your convergence ICs , but if its like a blue Halo around objects that usually means your CRT coolant has congealed and will need replacement. The blue is the first tube to congeal for some reason, followed by green. Red seems to be not quite as prone to this. It is a normal occurrence n sets about 4 years old to need the coolant changed.

Sounds like a light engine issue to me. Is there anyway you can post a picture of the issue itself?
