Hello I have a Panasonic PT53WX54J rear projection tv.I've had it since 2004 with no problems. Today it just shut itself off with no prior warning or picture distortion. I tried to power it back on and it clicks...but when it gets to the second click which usually turns on the picture nothing happens and the power LED blinks 3 times stops then blinks 3 times again and again. I took the back off and cleaned out the dust with compressed air and a vacuum.Tried again with no results. I read the article on the convergance amplifiers at chris palmers blogspot. Is there any other reason to get the 3 blinks or could I be certain that the convergance ic's are bad? Any other tests I can try?
** Another thing I noticed is the power LED does not glow as brightly when its trying to power up?
**Also some discoloration on resistor at R7013. Thank You.
Thanks in advance.

Fixed with convergence ic's changed out the stk110's with the stk 150's works great.
How did you remove the board to service it. I can't figure out how to detach the large red cables on the flyback. Thanks , Les
I have the same problem, & have been reading a lot of blogs; I noticed that you repl 110's with 150's. Did you ever repl that funny looking resistor? Where did you order your parts from?
