I got Panasonic PT-53WX42F
I got some pic's below. This is what started to happen to my projection tv few days ago.
First I thought it was a lose cable or something to do with the connection.
every input on the tv have the same problem, looks like blue is caved towards the center. even when you first turn on the tv the channel
on the upper left have colors shifted. so I'm sure it's something to do with the tv, not the cable box. blue is so far off even with color calibration I can't move it that much.
Maybe the projector light at the back is dying or some thing. This tv is 6 years old. How long do prejector light should last I don't know. any input would be helpful...

replace the two STK392-110 convergence Ics and that should take care of the problem.

OK. I took the board out. Here is a link for the pic of the board. Underside of parts STK392- 110 have slight burn marks. I don't see any other burn marks of anykind anywhere on this boar or the other one next to it.
Also should I buy the parts online get it soldered at a repair shop. Or let them order the parts for me. I have a panasonic (my tv's brand) dealer not too far away from where I live. Any suggestions.
It would be best to have the repair shop order the parts and install them, after getting an estimate as most repair shops wont install Ics for less than 300 to 600.00. Its far easier to do the repair yourself if you can solder. I can post a link where you can get two new ICs and free installation instructions with pictures for less than 40.00 if the repair shop is too costly.
you need two STK392-110 Convergence ICs. Heres the link.
