Mitsubishi convergence issue

U check all the resistors with the Ohm Meter?All the resistors u check it in tolerance?Resolders all the resistors,so it make good resistance for the ICS?U do all these steps,u still have problems,Ur ICS some how it shorted it dead,again.

2,2 IS short protection and 95% chance it means one of the two pico fuses that protect the convergence IC chips are bad.

This model uses two of the chips: STK-392-110 and you would have to pull the light box out to replace them safely (total parts cost will be under 30 dollars).

It involves getting at the chips and the fuses and replacing them: how much skill do you have?

Go by number on your ICs If they are STK392-570 then use STK392-570 only! Call Mats for parts 10.95 each 1-800-628-1118 They are Big Black ICs mounted on Big Aluimmim heat sink will have STK on them!

Iff it's more or less like a green shadow to the picture,then you have a convergence IC issue. This is 99% of the shadow problems.

Look in the back of the set for a 40-60 pin IC chip about this big

There will be two of them with a part number on the front of them. You should replace BOTH at the same time otherwise you may have to shortly replace it again. Replace both,save yourself time and money.

If you think you can do this yourself then you will need a soldering iron and desoldering braid.

This issue is almost always caused by a faulty Convergence IC inside your TV. These chips heat up and can become damaged over time. The most common cause I have seen for the picture distortion is the heat of the Convergence IC weakening the solder connection to the TV circuit board. If you look on various messages board you will see people rigging wooden dowels and other items to apply pressure to the chips in order to correct their picture issue. This works because when the solder joint is weakened the chip becomes loose and vibrations or pressure will cause it to work or not work correctly. Aside from all that information the correct fix is to have the IC chips replaces on your TV.

The solutions for this issue are as follows:

1. located a tv repair shop that will replace the parts for you. I had the same issue with my 65" Tv and the quote was $350 for the labor and parts.


2. You can ordered the IC replacements yourself online by going to google and looking up a reseller of the STK392-110 Convergence IC that is inside your model TV. You will need 2 of them and they cost around $6 each. If you have the soldering skills to remove the old chips and install the new ones this is by far the most cost effective route. It is a fairly simple process and guides can be found online.

The 2 fuses you mentioned are associated with the convergence IC. If they are open then the convergence IC is either bad or you have a "cold" solder joint on the IC.

Good Day, s_d_duncan;

The board for this 2001 Model is no longer available. Now, if you can solder, you can repair yourself. The parts you will need are two STK 392-570 (HIC), convergence IC's, part number 270P150010.

If you can't replace yourself, please call an authorized service center to give an estimate....

Good Luck, big IRISH.

Resolder and/or replace the conv ICs.

One or more fuse devices open==caused by convergence IC

shorted. Solution==replace fuse(s) and STK I.C.(s).
