Rca tv own 52" rca hdtv turned it on have double shadow imaging

convergence issue. Press menu and then scroll down to the setup option enter setup and scroll to Autoconvergence and activate the auto convergence feature that will realign the convergence . If that doesnt correct the issue you will need a Convergence power board, If the auto convergence feature is missing from the setup menu then you need the convergence option missing repair kit. Both the board and the repair kit are available from www.tvrepairworld.com

The repair kit called the ITC222 & ITC222A convergence option missing repair kit should solve that issue. The kist available from www.tvrepairworld.com and includes instructions.

sounds like the sensors are out of focus and your red sensor isnt turning on. look in the back of the tv for a master reset button or in your menu screen some sort of "Flash focus" or "convergence". They will realign the 3 sensors.

Alrighty, very common problem on this set. Here's a rundown of the repair if you're a DYI:

With the back cover off you'll notice a set of boards on the bottom of the TV and a pair of boards sitting up over the two bottom boards. The problem lies in the upper-right hand board which is the color convergence power supply. Either replace or repair this board. The repair involves the main power mosfet (a three legged regulator on a heat sink) and two diodes next to it.

Next, the bottom right hand board needs to be removed and a fuse replaced next to the flyback. If you are versed in electronics I can detail the repair further otherwise you're going to have to have a shop do the repair.

Bad chipset. Possibly a failed solderpiont. More than likely a bad chip. If the set is relatively new, get it repaired, shouldn't be too expensive. Figure 200 or so.

I would need the model number of your RCA in order to help you, please respond to this post so I can have your symptoms in front of me when you post your model. Also can you adjust it through the convergence menu?
