I think this is a convergence problem

  • Anonymous May 23, 2008

    If you don't
    have any repair experience my suggestions can only be useful to get a
    repair estimate, or in order to get more familiar with these kind of
    problems, impress your local repair person etc..

    actually tat effect will be in some red color..(assuming tat its of red color)--ur case its blue i think.. this is a equivalent solution of red..

    switch to test mode to check the red cross hair compared to the green or
    blue - if it seems out of focus, open the set and mark the position of
    the lenses. Then adjust it to tighten the line.

    Find out why the Red has shifted(pin trouble). look for bad solder
    joints on that board. Its also Possible that you have a failed
    component.

    Try re soldering the STK Output IC's very carefully.
    In a worst case scenario , you may need to change the STK that controls the Red Convergence

    Yank out the convergence board(the one that has several
    controls) on it, then you will find a few controls that have RED PIN
    (whatever). on them. Adjust them until you get it right

The convergence ICs and maybe some resistors will need to be replaced. The ICs will be the more expensive parts, the resistors are very cheap and I believe Radio Shack will be able to get you everything that you need. If you have any other questions, I would be glad to answer them. Don't hesitate to ask.

thank you and good luck

    If your picture is bowing, then you have bad convergence amplifiers, is there anything else that you did not tell us at first that may help

    Step1
    Unplug the TV from the power supply. Never
    undertake any type of repairs on electric equipment without first
    disconnecting from power. Take care in handling any electric parts, as
    some may contain a residual charge that can shock you.




    Step2
    Remove screws from the back cover and connection area of the TV. Be
    sure to put them in a safe place, or on a piece of paper with notations
    for where each one fits in the television.




    Step3
    Gently remove the back cover. Locate the mirror and three projection
    “guns,” as these are what you want to clean eventually.




    Step4
    Use a camera lens cleaning cloth (or other very soft and gentle cloth)
    to clean the mirror and lens. Gently remove any other dust before
    closing the TV.




    Step5
    Replace the back cover and screws. Plug back in the power supply.





    Step6
    Turn on the television. Check to see that everything works correctly and that your picture is now clearer.

    I don't think this will solve your problem but it should help, like I said before you will need to replace a few parts

Toshiba 50HX81 only showing black and white

I bet it's a DLP TV correct?
This symptom would indicate that the color wheel has flown apart. Which results in a monochrome only image.
Color wheels are expensive and need to be replaced by a qualified service person.

In the customer menu select convergence with the Toshiba remote.

If it is skewed and or will not adjust you have a convergence circuit problem. If this is the case let me know and I will tell you what is involved to repair the set.

Picture looks like 3D. The writing and picture look like they have a doubled effect

This is a convergence problem that can be as simple as poor connections at the convergence ICs or defective ICs. If you can solder and are comfortable working inside the set, you can probably repair this yourself. If you wish to attempt the repair, please confirm the model number so I can give you the part numbers and I will update this with additional details and instructions.
