Question posted by cascadesteve on October 5th, 2014

The Picture Is Out Of Alignment

How do I adjust the vertical? It is in the menu but the selector goes to the next option and skips the vert adjustment option. I also see a bright flashing, cobalt blue concave shaped line, the entire width of the screen and a wide blue band of light across the near center of the screen, what does this suggest is wrong with this TV set?

Hi. It sounds like you have a convergence circuit failure. You can have a service tech fixing this for about $350-$400 or you can try to do it yourself for about $50. You will need to be comfortable with using screwdrivers, unhooking wiring connectors, using volt meter to check resistors, soldering on circuit boards, and using the remote to do final adjustments. Here is a free website that gives details on doing this repair and you can decide if you are comfortable with it- http://www.hometheatershack.com/forums/diy-repair-maintenance/5600-crt-based-rptv-convergence-repairs.html
