<!-- from fixya rte -->How to repair convergence - Pioneer SD-533HD5 53" Rear Projection HDTV

Xpertis,
When the convergence will not adjust after you know you have set them correctly using your TV's convergence adjustment, your convergence board went bad. You can either repair it yourself with kits sold online (links below) but unless you know how to solder very well, opt for a repair guy. Your model will cost between $350 and $450 if you hire someone.

If you like to tinker but not dwell into the soldering world, try finding the same model for free or dirt cheap on a web site like www.craigslist.org that still works but like where a kid jumped into the screen!, and swap out the board.

Good Luck!

The convergence ICs have failed. You will need to install a convergence repair kit. You can get the convergence repair kit for your model Panasonic from www.tvrepairworld.com which contains both of the Convergence ICs , the associated resistors and the cD with detailed repair instructions.

Yes this is a failure of the convergence ic's it is a common sony big screen failure. I have written an article on how to fix this but it is involved and somewhat complex repair. A repair shop will typically charge around 300 for this repair. Here is my article:

the convergence Ics have failed. You can get the repair kit for your model which has both ICs and the 12 feed resistors plus step by step instructions on how to do the repair. Heres a link to the repair kit for your model.

your model has two STK392-110 CONvergence Cs, you will also most likely need at least a few of the 2.2 ohm 2watt convergence resistors. I am posting a link to the actualrepair kit for your model which contains both Convergence ICs and all 6 of the convergence resistors and they send instructions with pictures that show how to do the repair.

you need to replace the convergence ICs. Heres a link to the convergence repair kit which contains the parts and also they provide free step by step instructions with pictures so you can do the repair.

you can get the convergence repair kit for your model that has both convergence IC and the six feed resistors at this link, The repair kit also has step by step instructions with pictures so you can do the repair your self. Heres the link.The 50H82 kit is the same for the 57H82, http://servicemanuals.vstore.ca/product_info.php/pName/toshiba-50h71--50h81-convergence-repair-kit/cName/convergence-repair-kits

convergence out..... repaired 27860 what repaired. do you have the convergence option in setup.. is the piture completely without convergence/
