I have a Sony KP-43HT20 with a convergence problem. I bought it from someone who had it checked out but did not wish to have it repaired. The tech told them it was the convergence box. I have been researching online and most info I've seen says the 2 convergence ICs. I read one person who had the identical issue I have ( Bow tie shape, separate red, green, and blue ghosting, press play on a DVD and there are 3 separate colored arrows displayed - RGB ) who replaced the ICs with no effect.  I have basic electrical ability (ohmmeter, soldering...), maybe with a service manual and some professional opinion and advice I could make this happen.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm thinking this is a hour fix with the correct info. sjsully28@hotmail.com

Thank you,

 Steve

1 will do it, MCM or go to your local tv repair shop. They will stock them and probably sell you one if you can't wait.

replace the blowen one, you can get them from mcm electronics. or thepartstore.com

So, I replaced the blown fuse 5001. Now the TV will not turn on at all. During replacing the fuse I forgot to turn off the power at first when pulling the power board out of the back of the TV and got a little shock. Could I have blown something else? I have checked all four ps fuses on the convergence board and the 5001 and 5002, as well as the 1 glass fuse on the power board and all show shorted. Now when the TV is plugged in there is no standby light on and when i press power the standby light blinks 3 or 4 times and then goes off again and there is nothing output to the screen. There are 3 glowing things that are at the bottoms of each of the three color projectors, and they are lit. Where should I go from here????

It sounds like you did dammage the board, is it three blinks or 4, if it is 4 you may have taken out the vertical circuit, also make sure you plugged in the yokes.

May 6, 2008 9:37 PM

it blinked 4 times, how do i check to see if this circuit is broken?? and what do you mean by yokes? i dont understand that terminology...

May 7, 2008 8:06 AM

The yokes are the coil of wires on the neck of the crt's (the glowing projectors) there are wires that need plugged in if they are not, you can get a 4 blink error. If you verify that the yoke plugs are in, then you may have blowen ic8003 or dammaged the 15 volt line. The fixes that are presented here are usaly common problems that tech's run into. but now you have a situation where you need to troubleshoot the symptioms to find the problem. you now need to make live measurements, you need to check pin 4 and pin 6 of ic8003 for the presence of -15 on pin 4 and +15 on pin 6. If you don't have these voltage you may have power supply problems that need fixed, if they do exist then change the ic. Also ic8003 could be loading down the ps so dis connectiong pin 4 and 6 before you test will give you a more accurate result. if you disconnect these pins make sure you measure the solder pad and not the pin it's self.

This is what i would have to do to fix this tv from this point. Get the above diagnostic, then move to the next diagnostic point.

i cant for the life of me find ic8003
if it is on the a board, most ic on there are listed ranging in the 300s.

May 7, 2008 4:28 PM

sorry found ic8003, but it only has 4 pins

May 7, 2008 4:28 PM

nevermind im retarded

So magically everything started working, and we started to correct the course adjustment and have green and red working, when we tried to start altering the blue adjustment, which is way off, some of the course adjustment adjustments do not alter the grid on the screen, the ones that dont work are lin, size, skew, center. I have also noticed that the IC8002 seems to be running significantly hotter than the IC8001, both have industrial heat sink compound on them. What should I do now

Hello, is this board still active? I need some help with a KP-43HT20 convergence problem

November 14, 2008 3:15 AM

i just aquired a kp-43ht20 projection tv wiht a convergence problem picture looks clear enough just there are three of them in dif colors lol they say they just spent close to 600 to fix then it goes out again they went to a flat and give this to me is it worth fixing is it cheap etc can you help me i have an internet phone that is unlimited if nessicary

November 14, 2008 1:30 PM

i honestly think that these tv's have big problems when you first start having convergence problems, i tried to fix mine, and although it isnt terribly expensive $30 for the ICs, it is likely that you will break something else when you install them, or for like me, not get all 3 colors to work. I replaced both ICs and all the colors except the blue work, which is really weird since the blues are split between the two ICs.... Good luck I hope you didnt spend too much buying yours like I did for mine.

Thank you

I want to be to work on the D board on a workbench. How do I remove the red wires? I tried twisting the wires 90 degrees as per manual, but it still does not come out.
