I had the same problem everyone is describing. Happy TV in Las Vegas fixed it for 275 bucks, including after hours pickup and delivery. Google them. This is a fixable problem. The guy who says to buy a new TV has no idea what he is talking about.

Don't order parts from partstore.com. They don't let you return parts and the customer service rep admitted to me that they are not required to give you details on their return policy prior to your order. These guys are a rip off if you are trying to return parts. For all you know the reason the part didn't work is if the part was defective but they don't care. They got their money so what the heck. Just beware of these guys.

Its usually the convergence board just replacing the old board with a good one should solve the issue. You can get the convergence board for the PT4298 at the following link just scroll down the page. http://www.tvrepairworld.com/samsung__akai_circuit_boards

Is my akai projection tv digital ready or do i need to purchase a converter box.

depends if you have a cable service. Cable companies will still broadcast in analog because they are a closed system same with sat. only other way to tell if you have a digital tuner is by one a cable/satalite card or when doing the tv programing it asks digital?

Never even remove the back panel, if you are not trained. It could be fatal for both you and the TV
