My rca d52w26 convergence is gone.

It is like watch 3d tv. I heard there is a way to reset this by using the remote as i can not find a autofocus, or convergence, or any other button that may work. Can you tell me the correct sequence of buttons to try on my remote.

Look in the on screen menu for convergence and if it is not there you have a open ( bad ) protection part on the main board, a kit exists for most of these sets for this===buttons alone will not likely help here.

the convergence menu missing is a result of this and the part in question is often bad because of bad solder connections.

If you need more info let me know.

SOURCE: rca 52' projection convergence problem

Its a good possibility that your convergence problem could for now be cold solder connections on the driver ICs on the convergence board. The longer you use it the more of a problem its going to surge those ICs till they go bad and maybe cause other componet falure as well. If your not a technician i would have this set serviced asap before it becomes a major repair Good Luck

This is called convergence board failure. try to re calibrate the convergence. if the re calibration fails, this means your convergence board will need to be replaced or, rebuilt.

Sounds like your convergence amp board has gone out and will need replaced. If you feel like giving it a try yourself this web site has them fairly cheap and they have an 800 line if you need help determining your board number.

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.
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.

The convergence is way off on my projection rca tv - i lost the manual but i have set it before in a menu but caint remember how to get to it Was watching a movie, tv shut off and powered back on by...

It should be in the options menu. If not often RCA will drop the option when the convergence ICs go out and often the set will shut down. Heres alink that should be able to help you get a manual and parts if needed. If they dont have your manual leave an email and they should be able to get one quckly usually within an hour or two.
