Problem with a rear projection TV? - the_dryken i have a 55 in pioneer Rear Projection TV and recently i have been getting a "color halo" i don't know if that is the correct term. Basically i get a transparent green semi circle that starts at the bottom of the screen and goes up about 1/3 to 1/2 up the screen. i wanna know how to fix it or what part i need. if i need a part i wanna know about how much it will be and how hard it will be to install. the model and serail number are: sd-P5575-K OH3603196 L the tv is from 1994. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.

Best Answer: Pioneer? right? The covergence amp IC's need to be replaced. If you're not a technician you will have no chance of repairing this. Expect to spend between $200 and $350 for repair--depending on where you are and who you get. ********* Your inspection verified what I said************** Its the convergence amp IC associated with red vertical. There may be a yoke return resistor opened for the same circuit--if it is then the Ic is damaged. I allways replace both Ic's because otherwise its like putting one new tire on a car---the other one will fail soon--and with TV's you'll have to pay the labor a second time. The IC's should be stk392-110 Repalce them with stk392-180 Should cost (retail) about $35-$40 each - B4 operation chaos there was me

if the color is otherwise OK, I would guess it is an alignment issue or the bulb is getting old and has a spot on it. - Bill R
