I replaced the convergence board and the picture is still bowed on the top and bottom. The colors Red and Green are off giving a ghost like image. Do not know where to go from here. Also the picture is the same with or without the convergence board plugged in.
Today may be your lucky day. Approach this procedure with extreme caution and take your time. Sometimes when you replace that board you have to do a full digital convergence alignment. With tv off, push mute,1,8,3,power. Tv will come on in service mode. Certain buttons can now screw up the set in a major way, do not guess. press 7 to adj. red, 8 for green, or 9 for blue. Then look for the highlighted "x" intersection. Use directional buttons to adj. while careful to watch screen. Vol+ and - or ch+ and - make moves, mute moves cursor. If alignments move up, down, left, and right continue until all intersections are aligned. Turn power off to start over. When done press add/del on remote to save settings. That should fixya.
Yes, on the main board there are several small pico fuses.They look like resistors, but with no color stripes around them. Usually they are green or tan in color. With an ohm meter, check for continuity to see if any are open. They are located somewhere near where the voltage supply cables go up to conv. board. This plug connector is identified by print on the board with a + and - voltage, I think it's 12 or 15 + and -. Anyway there are usually two small fuses that can open when conv. fails. Then you may have to converge.

I tried to do this to no luck. Nothing would move. Here is a recap of what the problem is:
Picture bowed on the top and bottom
Colors not lined up(green and red)
Replaced convergence board
attempted manual adjustment of colors
Picture is off with or without CV board plugged in.
Anything else I should Try?
