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. 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, Zenith, and others. You can get a convergenece repair kit wiith 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 - makes a chirping sound.
Problem #2

Another common problem is dull or washed out video.

Sharp mx-2700n is ghosting the black and i would like to know how tocheck & clean drum and transfer felt cleaning assembly

you want to note the frequency of the ghost image. the drums are 1.5 inch round and the fuser rollers are a little bigger like 2 inch round and then the y1 trans belt is way bigger like 19 inches and the y2 belt is like 6 inches. If th ghost only happends with one color you could be pretty sure your problem is with that single drum. if it happends in multiple colors look at the other options first.

y2 and fuser you can see when opeing the right side of the machine
y2 is the wider rubber belt that is lower and the fuser is the hot hting at the top with that flip down cover.

y1 belt comes out with 4 blue screws after the front and right side of the machine are open, the toner waste container is out, and you line up the u shaped thing in the middle. turn in the direction indicted untill you see the green stick apear in the back threw the u.

The drums come out after you remove the developer units. with the machine off Open the front cover remove the toner waste container and loosen the two blue captured screws on either side of the plastic piece that covers the drum units. once those screws are loose check to make sure that the primary transfer unit is disengaged. there is a u shaped thing in the middle that needs to line up. if it is not lined up then rotate the blue screw in the direction indicated until it is. flip the whole plastic bar up if it catches in the middle don't force it rotate that screw. if it catches on the sides then just push it harder the sides make a pop noise sometimes before they give. each of the developer units have a flip up cover that gives you access to another blue captured screw. Pull on the cover from the bottom up then loosen the screw and the developer units will pull towards you. after you pull a dv unit the corresponding drum unit comes out by pressing a button down. the drum units are rebuildable in this machine. there are two blue plastic screws in the end holding a bronze bushing, and two silver plastic screws holding a cover on. there is a snap on side cover that will release the grid. and then three blue screws to get the wiper out. in general on sharps it is ok to pull out blue screws, but never ever pull out red screws.

Let me know if you need more hlep.

You need to replace the convergence IC's in the set. Part number STK 392-560. Two of them. They have to be unsoldered and solder in new ones. You must have advanced experience to get the job done. I suggest you get a TV technician.

Blue ghost image on left side of screen

The Optical Block Assy would have to be replaced, same part that causes Blue Dots, not considered to be user replaceable.

What is the liquid under the lens

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.

Blue ghosting on dark areas of screen

I think your son figured it out. check also to see if the liquid is cloudy or has any debris in it, if so it could use a change while you're at it. unless your son knows how to work on the TV(in addition to diagnosing the problem) you should have it looked at, with the advantage that now you know the problem, and what you're going to be charged for. to change the fluid, the only way to do it properly is to completely remove the CRT assembly from the set, drain it, disassemble it, clean it THOROUGHLY (I use a LOT of Windex to do it) and reassemble it paying close attention to get it together correctly. And don't forget to discharge that HV lead at the splitter blocks BEFORE doing anything else! The best way to put in the new fluid is from a squeeze bottle with a funnel shaped nozzle. A hair dying kit will have what you need, usually. you should make sure you're using the same type of liquid as was there originaly, because different liquids have different optic behavior. Have fun!
