Yellow/bluw "ghost" in SONY 53'' XBR45 (rear projection unit)

Oct 20, 2005 4 Replies

Hello,


We just completed home remodeling, so had to move our 8 year old SONY XBR unit around. When we finally put it back in its place it worked fine for several days, but then we noticed yellow/blue "ghosts" around images in left part of the screen. This unit is 7 years old and never gave us any trouble.


Has anyone came accross of this issue and what is involved in the repair effort. We were thinking about upgrading to HD unit, but if the repair cost not high we might keep our beloved XBR set for another year.


Is this repair DYI?



Thank you all

Cobwebs maybe got disturbed when moved... Pull of screen and check.

Possibly convergence, and possibly not related to it being moved.

Probably not, although JVC a number of years ago began allowing full convergence adjustment information for the customer...did a few of them after the customers got hopelessly lost trying to adjust it.

Tim,

Do you have any idea how much this repair might cost? Good and Bad scenario?

Thank you

Probably not more than a couple hundred bucks if it's just a problem with the convergence board, the only way to know for sure is to have a tech look at it and give you an estimate.
