Toshiba 50HX70 Bad picture

Jun 24, 2006 1 Replies

This 50" rptv is showing a collapsed hourglass shape vertical and horizontal picture, and severe convergence problem. All 3 colors are out of alignment and flickering up and down, sideways. Makes it hard to read the menu. I think it could be the hyper module (scan converter) or I found a Toshiba bulletin about Q302 failure with similar symptoms. Anyone else seen something like this in Toshiba's? Thanks - Scott


Going back tomorrow to check for any bad solder and see if any of the inputs work on this 2002. A Q301 repair would cost me about $20 in parts but a hyper module cost $200 if you can get one in a few months. I also heard about filter caps going bad too.

By the way I have over 100 various service manuals for cheap. See the list at
