I have a semi-transparent shadow or ghost image to the left of the main image. Tv is Sony kv-35s42 about 10 years old. Any ideas? Thanks. RB

what is the "best solution" as I too am having this problem on the same tv?
Thanks.

Barry, remove the back cover by removing the screws with an arrow next to them. The fuse is located on the left side as viewed from the back, where the power cord connects to the circuit board.

hi. this will be an easy fix for you if you are a good solder. you will need to replace the convergence chip that is located on the PC board(main). this chip is damaged and it has failed due to this damage that has occurred. click below for your new convergence chip(stk).

Sounds like your light engine is going

What kind of shadowing are you seeing? Doe the picture look like a 3D movire (colors separated)? What is the make and model?

Please update this with the above info and I'll provide possible solutions.

Thanks,
Dan

I'm going to guess that these ghosts are of different colors too. This is most likely a convergence problem. Try resoldering the pins on the convergence ICs first. If that fails, replace them.
These ICs are large and black, attached to a heatsink. They will be marked STKxxx.
Keep us posted.

i have the same problem

Can you give more details? What do you mean by Double picture? Do you have 2 pictures side by side or One on top of another? Or is it like a shadow behind the main Image? If it is a shadow (Ghosting), check your Antenna - connection, direction, etc.

Possible bad picture tube-would have to check voltages on CRT
socket circuit board.......T.

Note: always good idea to give your set model number.

You may want to try disconnecting the power for about 30 seconds and rechecking the TV. Otherwise, it may not be worthwhile repairing.
