Samsung HC-R5245W 52" HDTV Questions & Answers
Manual convergence will no longer
Projection TV sets have two very common problems. One is convergence ( 3D/Warped video) the other is CRT fluid ( Dull Video). Here are more details and solutions for both. Repair kits with instructions are also avail from www.TvRepairKits.com
Common Problem #1) Convergence has gone out
Projection TV sets need to have all three colors - RED - BLUE - GREEN - lined up correctly on the screen in order for the video to look normal. When its out of alignment the video will look 3D, wavy, distorted, etc. Most of the time you just need to adjust your convergence in the TV menu. If you cannot adjust it in the menu - then your convergence is broken and needs to be repaired.
This is a very common failure on these projection sets and a fairly simple DIY fix. All projection sets including Samsung, RCA, Sony, Philip Magnavox, Panasonic, Pioneer, Akai, GE, JVC, Toshiba, and others at some point will have the same problem.
Common Symptoms include....
- 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.
- TV shuts off after powering on. Power light will blink. TV may also make a chirping noise.
Here are some pics of convergence problems.

Common 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.

How much is the samsung
Most Older Rear Projection Televisions are being sold on craigslist.com a low end Hitachi would sell for around $50 but a higher end Samsung will go for $300 to the right buyer. If you want a quick sell and a little cash in your pocket settle for $150.

Akai PT5299Hd CRT problem
Hi
Thanks
for using FixYa. To
reset the TV turn it off for 8-10 hours. If still the issue is not resolved,
then switch it off. After
5 minutes unplug the television power cord from the electrical outlet and let
it remain without power for more than 1 minute. Plug the power cord back into
the electrical outlet. If the television is plugged into a power surge
protector, remove it from there and plug it directly into the wall outlet. Turn
on the TV. If the issue is resolved then the problem is with the power surge
protector and not the television. If the issue is not resolved then this might have happened
due to over-voltage. Please check the power supply unit for swollen/ bulged
capacitors and burnt wires/components on the power supply board of your TV and
replace whichever has gone bad. Please make sure to turn off and
unplug the TV for at least 1 hour (this will drain off current from
all components especially capacitors) before you perform any repairs. Also note
that the TV consists of very high voltages even when it is in off position. All
this is only recommended if you have electrical expertise and know how to
solder/re-solder components. Please do accept the solution if the issue is
resolved or post a comment for further assistance.
Thanks

How can I remove the back cover on a SAMSUNG
Hi my name is Roety,
I can help you with your issue ,
Leave the top rear half bolted on.
Remove the rear edge screws to remove the front half, then remove the front lower section by taking out the few rear screws holding it, then there is another piece just below the screen that pulls off revealing the last few screws holding the top front screen section in the front lower edge. Take the front off, cleaning the mirror and lens will help, but I'll bet the fluid is dirty inside the blue and green tubes, look into the tubes with the TV on to check.
best of luck

C4075 burnout.
Good day, javiquez;
The cap C407S that you burnt in the TV is in the circuit that feeds the G-2 to the CRT's. So, it makes sense that your picture quality has suffered. Here is the information on the failed cap and other part I would recommend changeing:
1. C407S; part number 2201-000406; description; c-ceramic,disc; 270 pf, 10%, y5p, 2 kv (2000 volts).
2. D402; part number 0402-00586; description; APIH, 2 kv, 1 a (amp).
Hope this was helpful, good luck, big IRISH.

Lyp synching
There is a samsung TSS log for that problem. Heres what samsung says about it.
Tech must replace the following parts. This is a firmware software, and hardware fix. At the time of this writing the fix consists of replacing the digital, and light engine. It is Best to check their web site for the current part number because this is an evolving fix. Be sure you have the exact model number. Example HLN437WX/XX. This will insure that you will receive the right part number replacement.

Samsung hc-r5245w no power
Hello Chac c,
The reason that you are getting a 'red light' is because your lamp is burned out. There is a panel on the back of the TV that gives you access to this lamp. You can remove it and check the part# to be sure then replace it. I did a quick search for you just based on the model# which you provided. You can see it here - http://www.nextag.com/serv/main/buyer/OutPDir.jsp?search=samsung+lamp&gg_site=&gg_aid=1295966762
Hope this helps :)

Samsung un55nu6950fxza TV
These LEDs are very susceptible to static electricity damage. What happens when they get zapped is a tiny threading fault starts in the LED crystal. The aluminum contact metal starts migrating into the crack, makes it wider and longer, and eventually goes all the way through the LED and shorts it out. When that happens, the metal overheats and burns out the LED so the entire string goes dead.
What this means for you is that the original LED may have been may have been zapped at the factory. The replacement strip likewise, or when it was removed from another TV (if it is a used part), or when you put it in. It should have been in anti-static packaging. You have to be very careful not to touch any of the circuitry on the LED strip, and make sure you ground your hand to the TV metal both before picking up the LED strip and right before connecting the strip to the TV. Better yet, use an anti-static wristband connected to the TV frame.
It is possible that the LED driver for that string is pushing too much current, but that's not likely. You would probably notice that part of the screen is unnaturally bright.

Brand new Samsung 77 OLED tv. Got knocked off the stand and fell on and bent the lower corner
It sounds like your TV has a display issue, likely caused by physical damage to the screen due to the bend. Repairing a damaged screen can be quite expensive, often nearing or exceeding the cost of a new TV, especially for larger screens like the one you described.
Here are a few options you might consider:
- Sell it as is: You can try selling the TV in its current condition, clearly describing the issue with the display. Some buyers may be interested in purchasing it for parts or attempting a repair themselves.
- Attempt a DIY repair: Depending on your technical skills and willingness to take on the challenge, you could try to repair the TV yourself. However, this can be risky and may void any remaining warranty. There are online tutorials and replacement parts available, but again, this route requires some technical expertise.
- Professional repair: You could contact a professional TV repair service to get an estimate for repairing the screen. Be sure to weigh the cost of repair against the potential selling price of the TV after it's fixed to determine if it's worth the investment.
- Sell for parts: If repairing the screen is not feasible, you could dismantle the TV and sell its components individually. Some parts, like the internal circuitry or casing, may still hold value to electronics enthusiasts or repair professionals.
- Trade-in or recycle: Some retailers offer trade-in programs where you can exchange your old electronics for store credit or discounts on new purchases. If the TV is beyond repair, you can also look into recycling options to properly dispose of it.
Ultimately, the best option for you will depend on the extent of the damage, your budget, and your willingness to invest time and effort into repairing or selling the TV.
