Problems with TV

Our TV in the Ref. door developed the following problem: About 3 months ago the picture started to be distorted. The distortion started from the right side of the TV with a white section with no picture. The white (no picture) part became bigger, the rest of the picture got more distorted. Sound is O.K. - Then suddenly the picture was perfect again. It lasted about a week. Then it went bad again, only to become briefly perfect again for a day. Now we have no picture, only occasional lines. The TV is fed by a Satellite Dish line which works fine.
We have contacted several service organizations. No Luck.

We need help, please.

This may be too late to help, but i just went through this problem. The picture slowly got worse, until one day it was all a grainy white. I took the TV apart, and found some capacitors on the TV circuit board that were bulging. After a trip to Radio Shack to purchase replacements (I needed three capacitors total), I desoldered & removed the bad ones. I then replaced them with new capacitors ( be careful about the polarity...there's a stripe for the negative lead). After soldering them in place, and getting it reinstalled, the picture is better than it has been in a long time.

Projection sets have two very common problems.

The first common problem is convergence

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,Pioneer, Hitachi,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.
You can get more information and a DIY convergenece repair kit with instructions from the link below.

Here are some of the most common problems with these sets...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped
*No Audio/Video - TV Shuts down - May also make a constant chirping sound

Problem #2 - Another common problem is dull or washed out video.

Your set may have one or more of the following symptoms....

*Dull looking picture
*White looking picture
*Halos around objects
*Red/Orange looking picture

Rear projection - convex distortion / ghosting / expanding screen

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