convergence for RCA 52" PROJECTION YR.2000 MODEL #P52927
When you say it "went out" do you mean that you are unable to manually adjust the convergence?
YES, THERE IS A PLACE ON THE MENU TO ADJUST HOWEVER IT DISAPEARS WHEN THE TV SCREEN SHOWS ALL 3 COLORS,AND THERE IS A BOW IN THE PICTURE.I HAD IT REPAIRED AND NOW IT'S DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN,I'M NOT RICH AND HOPE I DON,T HAVE TO DISH OUT ANOTHER 300.00 TO FIX IT IF THERE IS SOMETHING I CAN TRY FIRST.WHAT DOES MY CONVERGENCE BOARD LOOK LIKE?
It's unfortunate that your TV is on the fritz again. I know it's frustrating. However, I don't recommend poking around inside the TV unless you're a qualified servicer, or really know what you're doing... otherwise you'll probably do more harm than good.
If you feel 300 dollars is a lot to throw at repairing the TV, then you may want to consider replacing it. I know it costs more than 300, but it may be a better long-term investment. Read How to Determine if you Should Repair a Broken Device to help you decide.
I have a question you say that there is a place on the menu to fix the convergence well where is it cuz mine also went out???
It's usually buried in the video menu somewhere. Check there first. Do you have the same TV as the one referenced above?
well on my menu screen there is none listed for video it is the same model number it is a RCA 52" yr 2001 Model P52927... here is a list to what is on my menu screen... audio, Pic. Quality, Screen, Channel, Time, parental Controls, Guide plus+ menu, Setup and exit.. they are in that order.. and we searched all of them and can not find it anywhere. Like the other girls it was there when we first got the TV cuz I watched them set it up and now it is not there.. HELP????
Wild_angel,
To adjust the convergence on your model TV:
1. Access the main menu
2. Arrow to SCREEN and press OK
3. Arrow to ADJUST PROJECTION TV and press OK
Instructions are located on page 33 of your user manual.
Hi Matt I went there and looked on my menu bored and there is nothing that says adjust projection tv in the screen area of the menu...
