RADIO SHACK.

may need to tell the laptop in the screen resolution settings to display the image on the tv instead of the laptop. Right click on the empty desktop of the laptop and go to either propertie or screen resolution and then make sure that the computer can see that the tv is hooked up and that the image is showing on the tv instead of the laptop. You may also need to change the mode on the tv to vga.

This model and others close to it have all sorts of soldering problems on the power board----fixed a lot of them by removal of power board and aside from fuses solder the ENTIRE board--every connection---bad connections develop with age and heat.

The right direction is right to the service center! you have a failing transistor that could catch fire.

please rate our help so we stay on the net

the problem with pioneer projection tvs is that when they made the boards they never used enough solder for the circuits and you get cracks in the runs. thats why heat and cold will effect it. I had the same problem and I took out the board and resoldered every track I could and it works good now but my remote wont work if anyone has any info or prints to this tv please post on here

now in the front of your tv you will see a weird piece of wood that looks like it doesent belong now its a piece of wood in the front of your tv sicured by a few screws and 2 dowels and inside you will see 2 circut bourds infront of you and a few more behind them , you will also see some connections to the botom of the projectors themselves , now you need to look to your left side and on your left you will see a little black or white casing with what looks to be 6 screws on it , but there not screws there the adjustments for your tv now just fiddle with those 6 screws til you can find your favorite color or setting and close it back up and ENJOY!!!!

Hi,

The problem is with the convergence IC's and repairing it would cost you up to $300.

If you would like to make this DIY project, you'll need some electronic experience, basic tools, and voltmeter, time and some good soldering skills. The repair manual should also be something you have.

If the TV is more than 5 - 7 years old, then I would suggest you to get another one if you are not on a tight budget.


Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

Hi, this is a fairly common problem, what has happened is your Color & Convergence section is faulty usually fixable by replace both convergence ICs.

but First you MUST obtain a Service Manual, this will show you what to do and how to set it all up.

Sorry it a lost cause these DLP tvs are no longer in productions.If even it still in productions,the tvs picture screens panels are 90% important to the tvs and most of the cost of the tvs.The only place u can buy a tvs picture screens panels are the tvs industries themselves.They'll sell it to u,but they'll charges u the same prices as a new tvs.The tvs Techs.policies are tvs that have bad picture screens panels or a broken picture screens panels are those tvs are now,only can be used as salvages tvs for it tvs electronic boards for spare parts,that it.The tvs now are not worth as a whole tvs anymore.

The tv have a problems known as a convergence problems,it dead.The tv convergence board require changing 2 convergence ICS and some or all it resistors to solved the convergence problems.The shop,will cost u $300-350 for parts and labors.

convergence chips and /or fuses bad. Common on PTV. Great TV!!! worth repairing

U mean all ur colors picture lines on the tv are misaligns?Ur tv convergence are dead.This problems are the 2 STK convergence ICS and some or all it resistors are dead.The convergence board the 2 STK Convergence ICS and those resistors must be change to solved the convergence problems.The shop will cost u $300-350 for the parts and labors.

The most likely cause is shorted convergence chips and possibly a few pico fuses.

These sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the picture to look normal. This is called convergence.

When its out of alignment the video will look 3-D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired. Convergence problems are very common on all Projection TV sets including Sony,Samsung,JVC,Philip Magnavox,Panasonic,Akai,Pioneer Hitachi,Mitsubishi,Zenith and others.
You can get a convergenece repair kit with instructions from the links below.

Here are some of the most common problems with these sets...

Problem #1) Convergence

Yours may have one or more of the following symptoms...

*Screen Looks 3-D
*Colors wont align
*Screen may look distorted or warped
*No Audio/Video - TV Shuts down - May also make a constant chirping sound

Problem #2
Another common problem is dull or washed out video.

Your set may have one or more of the following symptoms....

*Dull looking picture
*White looking picture
*Halos around objects
*Red/Orange looking picture

You can see some more examples and find a fix here http://www.fixya.com/support/r2861467-solution_video_looking_whiteish_dull

YOU need to have the original Pioneer remote to do this--I do not understand if someone fixed and you had the remote why he did not adjust it?

With the Pioneer remote you go into the customer menu and adjust convergence--most also have a TECH menu for this but you still need the remote and a code to get into this--REMOTES FOR THESE SETS ARE HARD TO FIND AND EXPENSIVE.
