20 Most Recent Philips Magnavox 9P6034C 60" Rear Projection Television - Page 7 Questions & Answers

Your TV most likely has one of two possible problems.

Problem #1: Convergence Chip Failure ( common problem )

Here are some of the most common symptoms and example photos of a convergence problem

• Screen looks 3D
• Colors don't line up
• One or more colors can't be adjusted when using the convergence menu.
• Screen is bowed or warped.

Here is a quick test....

Using your original remote go-to the tv settings then goto the convergence section.

Try to adjust the red and then the blue convergence.



You should be able to move them up, down, left, and right.

If you can't move them in all directions your convergence chips are bad and should be replaced. This is a common problem.

Solution #1

You need to replace the convergence chips and convergence resistors. Check the site www.TvRepairKits.com. They have put together a kits for most models. If you don't see a kit for your set send them a quick note and they will put one together for you. Their kits include a photo instruction guide, original OEM Sanyo STK chips, convergence resistors, pico fuses, etc.


Problem #2 CRT Fluid is Cloudy

Projection TV tubes have a liquid coolant that is used to keep them from overheating. After many years the coolant in the blue and green tubes will become cloudy and cause the screen to look dull, red/orange, etc. You may even see halos around images.

Picture of a set that needs the fluid changed.

Solution #2


What you will need to do is replace the coolant and clean the crt. You can get a repair kit from www.TvRepairKits.com that includes replacement coolant, photos. instructions, etc

Common problem with a few part that fail. You can get a shrinking and expanding kit for this from www.TvRepairKits.com

I had a similar problem with my 42 in Philips LCD HDTV.

Here was the problem. My Power Supply Board had several bad capacitors. I opened my TV (warranty was expired of course) and found four bulged capacitors on the PSB. Many major electronics companies Philips/Magnavox, Sony, Panasonic, and others were sold capacitors that failed in 2-5 years instead of 10-20. The capacitors fail prematurely due to a lack of preservatives. Unfortunately, they were installed in all sorts of devices and cause a wide range of failure problems.

Here are some options for you.

1. Have it fixed by a professional $$$$$$$??????? (Is it under warranty?)

2. Open your TV and find PSB. (The board that the power cord plugs into) Check for faulty caps. If you find some (bulged or leaking) bad caps replace the entire board. The entire board costs around $250 right now because they are in high demand right now. They can be found at tv-part.com but supplies are limited. I would definitely shop around though.

3. Remove and then replace individual faulty caps. This takes some soldering skill.
Caps kits can be bought online ,are inexpensive and, if you can take care of it yourself it will save you hundreds.

This may be your problem. If you determine that it might be.
I have a Tip/How TO tutorial on this site that may also help. It gives step by step instructions for replacing caps on PSB #715t2432-2. If this is your board you are in luck. Here is the Link: Fixing the Philips Turns/shuts off on its own problem. I'm working on uploading pictures to help guide people though the process as well. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Hope this helps and if it does please rate it accordingly. Good luck.

This is a common problem on certain models of Philips Magnavox TV sets. The most common symptom is the screen will shrink and expand over and over. After the TV heats up for a while the video will work like normal. After a few weeks or months your TV will eventually stop working and not have video. You can get complete parts and instructions from www.TvRepairKits.com

The image in your tv is generated by 3 small CRT's so the problem is in them. Either the image processor is failing and can no longer recognize the size settings from the signal's image or the convergence board has failed - much more likely. In either case the fix will cost you less than $250 so yes, the tv is worth keeping and fixing.
If it's the convergence then it's easy and cheap to fix: just use a repair kit like

Projection TV sets are known to have two common problems. The first problem that is common to these sets is convergence failure. When this happens the TV will usually look 3D, Wavy/Distorted, etc. It may also shutdown and blink an error code.

The second common problem with Projection TV sets is dull video, halos around objects, white looking video, or red overpowers the screen. This is commonly caused by the fluid in the lens being clouded over.

Check www.TvRepairKits.com for their shrinking and expanding kit for this model.

Go to Remotes.com they will have your remote.

This is a common problem with RP Televisions unfortunately. Usually means the tubes are going out. It can be repaired (usually) but it cost quite a bit to fix unless you could do it yourself (which I don't recommend) If that's not an option I suggest going out and buying a new tv. I recommend and LCD or LED though. Not a plasma or rp

Hi,

Sounds like a bad solder connection in the convergence circuit, or possibly a flakey convergence amp. I would replace both convergence amps, you must have not repaired big-screens as this is the most common problem in them.

Check below for instructions on how to do it for a Mitsubishi, the only difference in the two are location of the convergence amps, everything else is functionally similar :-

http://www.techlore.com/article/22530/DIY-Repair-Replacing-Convergence-IC-s-on-a-Mitsubshi-TV-Set/


I would try soldering up the amps first (clean between the contacts after!)


There are some circuits that align the RED, GREEN, and, BLUE, picture tubes to make the picture you see.

The components that do that job are called "convergence" circuitry. The usual components to fail are the "Convergence Amplifiers" which are usuall a pair of Integrated Circuits mounted to a large heatsink. (STK-392) may be printed on the IC along with some number such as 110, 160, 120.


Also look for burnt resistors around these components, as it is common.If the problem is isolated to only one color the replacing those STK amps and any burnt resistors will fix it. If all the colors are out of whack (Red, green, and blue, like a 3d effect all over) then you are likely looking at a fuse gone bad in the voltage supply to those amplifiers. Usually Sony or Mitsubishi have these fuses. The fuses (called "pico-fuses") are generally orange, or green, with no color stripes like resistors have.


You can look up these parts online easily with the exception of the burnt resistors and fuses which you usually need a manual(which you can also purchase online). The STK's price will vary from $15-$90 depending on which one, and the resistors have to be of the metal oxide type so as not to change value with heat.

One place to get parts is www.partstore.com


If you want a professional to repair it, be prepared to part with around $300-$400.

Let me know,if needed further assistance.

Hope i helped you.

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

Your fluid, known as Ethylene Glycol needs replaced in the picture tubes. Normally just the green and blue need done. This is what keeps the face of the tubes cool and after time just like your anti freeze in your car it breaks down and needs replaced. It turns what we call "beer brown". At Philips, we were charging $279.00 to do this. Today, places are charging anywhere from 200-300.

This problems,it is also the causes by the tv convergence board,it dead.The tv convergence board have dead 2 STK convergence ICS and some or all of it resistors are dead too.These parts on the tv convergence board,must be replaced to solved this chirping problems.The shop,will cost u like $300-350 for parts and labors.

Sorry,this is not possible,tvs pictures screens panels are 90% important to the tvs itself.If it still available,tvs pictures screens panels replacement,will cost u the same as a new tvs.Because tvs pictures screens panels are limited in productions buy the tvs corporations.But these tvs technologies are opsolete and no longer in the tvs markets by the tvs corporations have stop these tvs productions.

Your control panel needs to be replaced. This is a common problem with projection Televisions. Lights are on but no one is home.

You may a bad ground on the power supply board,and this may include a vertical IC that is having problems. Another thing for me to suspect would be the convergence board is on the fritz. At night sometime remove the back cover and see if you can see the ends of the picture tubes are lit while the TV is on. If they are I would say,yes the convergence ICs are bad. And finally , you may a bad small signal board. This is a small card next to the RCA connections and RF connectors inside this TV. This small signal card is quite expensive to replace. Also, this is my first calculation of errors on this unit. The last answer is my best guess. You will have to decide if you really want to repair this. Once again this small signal board is expensive. Thanks for asking and show a few hands of support.

The first thing to check for is closed captioning. Some forms of this will result in a black text box at teh bottom of the screen. There should be an option for different versions of closed captioning on a menu. Disable it and update this if the problem remains.

Thanks,
Dan

Ur tv have CRTS-(picture tubes).Coolant problems,must replacement of CRTS tubes coolant chenicals.Coolant must be replaced to recharge the CRT-(Tube fillaments).Try website like Tvrepairworld.com to buy a coolant kit and came with instructional DVD show how to do it.
