I push magic focus and now there lines going across the top the tv

This is a common problem on many brands of Projection Tv sets. Its usually a convergence issue. You can get more details and a solution here on fixya using this link http://www.fixya.com/support/r11932741-convergence_repair_dull_video_repair

The magic focus button don't work.The tv have a problems known as a convergence problems,it dead.The tv colors lines R,G,B mis alignment,have colors shadows or 3D pictures.The tv convergence board the 2 STK convergence ICS and some or all it resistors are dead.These parts,must be replaced on the tv convergence board to solved the tv convergence picture problems.The shop,will cost u $300-350 for parts and labors.

Hello,

Replacing the lamp will do the job. It is the lamp that is faulty not the gun or the mirror.

It will cost just a few box to get a new lamp.

Take care and good luck

try holding down the magic focus for 5 or 6 seconds then use the original remote to control it.

John, Hitachi site is down at the moment, if you remove the clips on the front of the IC`s you will see the numbers of the convergence ic`s, and yes they are a pain to get out, they are probably stk 392-110`s if they are the originals, you`ll have to un-solder 36 pins total to get them out, check for burnt resistors in the general area of the ic`s and replace any that are burnt before turning the set on,be sure to order a tube of "heat sink compound" to apply to the back of the new IC`s, once on the set will probably still look poor, this is normal, run the set for minimum of 15 minutes then push the " magic focus button " inside the front door panel, after it has finished running magic focus it should look great, video-tek

Probably the color convergence is off. I had a similar problem. Have you tried the magic focus button yet? That is located at left in the small front control panel. Power on TV, wait 20 min (according to user guide), then press the magic focus. If that doesn't fix the problem, you could try the service mode alignment procedure. But that's a little trickier. I don't have a link handy for that procedure right now, but will look for it if magic focus doesn't re-align your color convergence.

Good Day;
Suspect Convergence IC's STK4274, part Number 2003191. Replace all three IK04(red), IK05(green), IK06(blue).
Good Luck, big IRISH.

Good Day;
You may have a poor seated cable connector. Unplug TV from A/C, remove back look for a large black connector. It connects between the Main Digital Module and the Drive PWB. Re-insert both ends several times to make better contact, use contact cleaner if have but not always needed. Good Luck, big IRISH.

i'm no expert by any means; but I wonder if it could be as simple as the reflective screening on the inside comming loose. I have a 65" and I took it apart to clean it. The reflective screening looked to me like it could be a weak point. Just a thought.

Are the on screen menus affected or are they clear? Also our the lines constant or do they go away as the set warms up? And are you able to post a picture of what the lines look like?
