My panasonic rear projection started acting up a month ago.First the blue started wandering out of sync and I could adjust it back with the convergence settings and then it became worse the blue was actually jumping up and down about an inch or 2 on the screen like someone was in the TV wiggling the blue lense.The picture never became bowed or distorted like many of the other threads i have seen,just that the blue would not stop moving or stay in adjustment. Finally I turned the tv on one day and the blue fell about 10 inches out of wack and wouldnt adjust at all and a few minutes later it shut off and gave me the 3 blink code on the power light. Now the unit wont stay on 20 seconds and it shuts down.I just replaced the convergence chips and 1 resistor that appeard burned out, but still shutting off after a few seconds. I have read a little about pico fuses but do not know anything about them and there location. Any help appreciated as I am no TV Tech
I have identified what i believe are peco fuses ,orange red in color,look like diodes ,correct me if i am wrong.I found 2 to the right of the convergence chips and did a continuity test with a multimeter .I get an initial beep when i test .Should there be resistance in these fuses?
scratch that last post the pico fuses are black and they tested out ok.for some reason resistor 7056 keeps getting hot and the tv shuts off
