AKAI PT 5598 HDI blurry with too much red color in picture.

So the screen shows nothing, you just see an LED? It's likely just a burnt out bulb in the projector lamp. These should be easy to check and replace, it's really no different than changing a lightbulb in a lamp.

I second the post from Guest on march 18, 2008. I ran into this page and this was the exact problem i had. I thought, i should try this given the other solution, meaning calling in a professinal for 300 dollars. Anyways, the part Guest said to order worked perfectly. I installed it myself and it was easy. Took about 2 minutes. The works great now. And that website is really reliable. If the part you order ends up not working, you can return it for a full refund. Good job Guest, you just saved me about 300 dollars on repairs!!

i think you need a new convergence board they rin from about 88.00 to about 140.00

SOURCE: i got an akai pth5498 for free, that needed a new

once you get in the convergence mode with a Samsung remote 7,8,9 buttons allow you to adjust each color--presume the green will adjust and you adjust it first to get all the lines straight and then come back and adjust the red and blue to it; only one other nasty possible problem---the DCU(digital convergence unit that stores the Adjustments) could be bad---no way to tell until you try to adjust in the tech menu--the Samsung remote I use has a data save button--this saves the adjustments after you make them--forget the idiot who suggests you change the flyback transformer.
