my Panny 53WX42 is going fuzzy! (1 Viewer)

[Brent_H]

I've had my Panasonic 53" RPTV for a little over two years now. After about 8-12 months, the whites on the right side of the screen started to have a yellowish tint to them. I was told by some I needed my lenses stripped or something. Well, since then, I've had another problem. For some reason, no matter what I do, either the right side or the left side will not focus 100% depending on how much I mess with the convergence. Also, I don't know if this is related, but either my reds or my blues will bleed on the side that isn't focusing. I can move the angle one way to make it better, but then it gets worse on the other side. It's really making me mad. I'm in college so I don't really have to money to drop on an ISF stud...and maybe its something I can fix myself. I have used Sound & Vision's HT setup but it doesnt seem to do much. Any input would be muuuch appreciated!

is this something Avia could help fix? I'm not sure the S&V disc has as much advanced stuff as Avia...not that I would know how to use it anyways. I'm probably facing havin the G man come calibrate it once he's up in MN again...bugger.

You may need to adjust beam and/or mechanical focus it sounds like. I am really unfamiliar with the adjustment capabilities/menus etc of RPTVs, so you may need to explore that on your own, or bring in a pro.

that sounds like a job not for me....haha der..

anyone else wanna put in their $.02?

sounds like the electrical and/or the manual focus needs to be adjusted. be aware the blue will be slightly fuzzier then the red/green. if you try to tighten it up too much you will get purple edges.

btw, i run a 53wx53. love it!!!

Just do a mechanical focus ... but an electrical one will be harder because of all the glue you have to remove from the focus block.

ok so this involves removing the back panel, going into the service menu, etc..? oh man. i am more electronically inclined than the layperson, but i don't wanna f it up. i guess i just need to be careful. it should be worth it. i will keep ya posted. heheh

 

[Brent_H]

ok i got into the service menu, and i looked through the service manual, but i'm not sure which grid to bring up to focus it...or how to bring it up. any help?

The convergence grid ... multipoint ... (FINE) ... is the one to use ...

Can cycle the colours with the 1 key ... or cover up the crts individually ...
