Thank you for helping me bring my tv back to life! I stumbled across tvrepairkits while searching for troubleshooting tips,watched the YouTube video and was told my problem, I ordered the convergence kit. I had to buy a lighted magnifier to do the repair because the pins were so close together.while waiting for my package I removed the board (oops) after I received the package and online instructions I found I wasn't supposed to disconnect the fly back wires.but the chip replacement went well,reinstalled the board and fired up the set BINGO! A perfect picture. I didn't need the pico fuses or resistors.thank you so much for providing a one stop complete repair kit.and it was fun to do. My first tv repair, and de soldering attempt,I used the radio shack de solder iron which worked perfectly, Ill recommend you're site to anyone!

Convergence kit
We've had this TV for a few years and had this problem before. Last time I think I paid over $200 to have this fixed. I am a DIYer and after a Google search found TVRepairKits. Thought I would give it a shot. Things seemed a little intimidating when I took the back cover off, but I read through the step by step instructions and I am happy to say that I fixed it and it works great. I took a little extra time and carefully cleaned the lens on the projectors with some camera type lens cleaner and the picture looks great. My son said it looks better than it ever has! I highly recommend their kits!
Thanks TVRepairKits!

Faced with the green blinking light problem, on my big, old television I called a couple TV repair shops . . .they told me to go get a new TV.
I found your site, ordered the kit and got it up and running in a couple hours. Everything worked as planned.
The soldering had me worried, but it was pretty easy to do. I used the desoldering mesh method since RadioShack was out of the desoldering iron. (If you guys sold the solder and desoldering iron, i would have bought from you to save an extra trip to Radio Shack)
I used my phone to video each step before taking things apart, which was very helpful putting things back together.

Mitsubishi Rear projection
Obtained a 55" Philips HD projection TV free, but once we got it home, the screen was washed out in yellow. Convergence did not help, nor adjusting the focus on the colors. After some research, learned that the blue was not coming through correctly. Not familiar with CRT projection, I did some further research and came across this site. I figured what the heck, and bought the kit to replace the fluid in the lenses. I received the kit yesterday, and after viewing the instructions, I thought "Oh boy, this looks hard to do" and I was fearful of messing up and breaking one of the tubes. Low and behold, I followed the instructions to a T, with one exception. It should be noted to be careful when removing the control board from the CRT tube, and it is possible to bend one of the pins that comes out of the tube and connects into the control board. Anyways, after correcting this, cleaning the lenses and replacing the fluid, I turned on the TV. Set the convergence and adjusted the focus on the blue lense, and now the picture is great. Definitely worth the time and money. I am one happy and satisfied customer.

You guys are the greatest. I've never done any electronic soldering/desoldering. Your links were great for a newby. I bought a soldering/desoldering kit, watched the videos, used a medium tip to pull the old part (with a curved needle nose on top), switched to a shovel blade and desoldering braid and a bulb to clean, then used a fine point to solder in the new parts. Because I had to head-scratch a bit the total repair took about 3 hrs. Well worth it and now my projection TV looks like new again. Thanks a bunch (I owe ya a six-pack)

No Video, But Sound Works
I have a 50 inch Phillips Magnavox which I've had for 13 years. It started acting goofy about a month ago with the picture fading big then small but after it warmed up it seemed to be OK so I thought it was the power supply. I had a Magnavox 52 inch for years before this one and had to have the power supply replaced twice. Well this one kept on until it just finally quit and wouldn't even turn on. I used a Magnavox Repair before in Tampa Florida that would come from there all but 200 miles to my house in Jacksonville for $45.00 plus the repair. I was on actually looking for their business or a local Magnavox TV repair when I somehow came across this website. Sure glad I did because I would of never thought I could repair my Big Screen myself. I did a lot of reading and watch a lot of videos and read a hundred Testimonials all that were Positive until I convinced myself I wanted to give it a try. I ordered the kit I needed, went to Radio Shack and got the tools that they said I would need along with the parts to practice my soldering (Which I never did any of before) It seemed to come natural as I only soldered and desoldered few times until I felt I knew what I was doing. The only part I wasn't sure about is the best I could do was get the circuit board that contained the chip I had to replace standing straight up and down and I had no practice soldering in that position so I was a nervous wreck. Plus I bought the kit to solder in so if it ever happened again I didn't have to do all this work over, I could just take the back off and unplug the old chip and push in the new. The first time after getting the kit soldered in I couldn't get the chip lined up right and long story short I broke one of the legs off the chip rendering it useless.:-(
I ordered me a new chip, not the kit but just the kit and a week later tried it again. This time I had the hard work done and the circuit board already fastened down. I carefully lined the chip up and pushed it down where it belonged and broke no legs. I'm kind of on the Big Boy size and wear a size 15 ring so messing with a chip have the size of my thumb nail with 8 little bitty legs that needed soldered or even aligned up isn't something I want to do everyday. But it is now done and the time for truce is here. I figured if I messed the solder job up I would blow the set up so I was still very worried about that. I held my break, said a little prayer and hit the on button and to my surprise it came on like a brand new one. The next thing I plan to do is change the fluid in the tubes now that I feel pretty good about working on it. To be Honest every time I walk by it I am still truly amazed and impressed that I actually fixed it myself. Thank you so much for your parts and Help TVRepairkits.com, your the best and I will recommend you to everyone I know.

I ordered a convergence repair kit for my daughter's Philips 51" rear projection TV. It's about 12 years old now and the picture was having the 3D look. I asked a friend/co-worker (electrical specialist)to help me and we followed the very detailed directions and pictures closely. Within a couple of hours we had the convergence repair kit installed. We had resolved the problem. We followed the adjustment as directed and daughter and college roommates were very happy with the results!! Thanks!

I was given an old 55 inch Samsung tv set by a friend of the family. It is very large in size (attaches to its base - and is a mammoth of a tv), however I grew to love the thing because a) it was free and b) 55 inches is quite a large screen.
To my dismay, I turned it on one day and felt like I was watching a 3d movie. After some online research, I realized it was a "convergence" problem - basically my picture's layers were not lining up as they should. I went into the menu to try and fix it - but could only adjust the vertical convergence, and not the horizontal. I realized it was probably time to get a new tv.. :o( I looked around and almost spend over $1200 on a new flatscreen television - but decided to go home and think about it.
That evening I stumbled upon this website. I must admit I was VERY skeptical. Seriously? I am to believe that I can fix a television set?! (I can barely make toast people!) :o) But after going back and forth - I decided to give a try. Mostly because of all the testimonies I read - and the questions and answers. It seemed to work for a lot of people - and to me spending 90-100 dollars, sounded much better than dropping $1200. If it didn't work - I figured oh well, I am already dropping $1200, why not $1300? :o)
To my absolute surprise and satisfaction - it worked. It one hundred percent fixed the issue I was having - and I am still able to use my beast of a tv set.
I will admit the soldering part of this made me nervous - but if you follow what this company suggests you do, it isn't hard at all. I bought a test board and the little pieces that goes into it - and practiced my soldering and unsoldering. After a few tries - I felt very comfortable with my abilities.
The step by step picture guide was very helpful. I think there could be more details added to it - as I got confused a few times.. but overall it is very well put together. It took me maybe 3 hours to take out the circuit board, remove the old pieces, put in the new ones and solder them into place - then reconnect everything. When I turned it back on for the first time I was very sad - because the picture actually looked way worse. Then I went into the convergence menu and had it do an auto convergence - the picture was then restored to perfect.
*As I fixed it I ran into a small issue and e-mailed the help address - and received a response VERY quickly. That was important to me, and very helpful.
I very highly recommend this product, this company - and my experience as a whole. Anyone can do it with this kit! :o)

Had the dreadful 3D Image, the sides on blue would not adjust in the alignment menu, ordered the kit with new stk chips, took about 4 hours and some patience, TV looks like new again, my girlfriend is super happy, she can watch it without getting dizzy now, online tech recommended a desoldering iron to remove the chips, made things alot more simple and fast, picked one up for $12 at radioshack, you could see where the stk chips had melted alittle bit, Thank You so much guys!!!

I was skeptical! I have very minor training in electronics, I am a Telephone man by trade, doing VERY LITTLE or no soldering of components, and I am writing to say how TOTALLY AMAZING my experience was!

I desoldered my consolidator chips and Resoldered them and my 12 year old TV is like NEW!

I cannot say enough about how easy the instructions were and how after following them, in about 2 hours time, my 57 inch projection TV is looking as GOOD AS NEW!

If someone is not sure of themselves desoldering or resoldering, then find a friend to do it for you.. that part took 45 minutes.

It is certainly worth the 75 dollar investment in the parts.

I spent about $40 on desoldering equipment and Iron at the Radio shack.

TOTALLY happy with the TVREPAIRKITS.COM website and Product!! BELIEVE IT WORKS!!!

Thank you TV Repair Kits. My husband and I repaired the convergence problem on our 10-year old Sony 61" projection TV yesterday afternoon and now the picture is good as new. He did the removal and reinstallation of the board and I did the desoldering and soldering of the parts. I also cleaned the dusty lenses inside the TV while it was opened up. He bought a solder board and DIP socket for me to practice on, which really boosted my confidence, and a desoldering tool, which made my part of the actual job a breeze.

We are not experienced repair people, but your website's instructions are spot on and very easy to follow. I was so amazed and excited when the TV fired right up with a perfect picture. Just can't thank you enough!

My 8 year old Hitachi projection TV started having convergence problems. It didn't seem worth $500 to repair, but spending a couple of grand on a replacement wasn't appealing either. I found the TV Repair Kits web page and decided to go for it. The repair kit arrived promptly. When I took out the convergence board I discovered that 1 resistor was fried. I emailed at 9:30 at night regarding the resistor I needed and had a reply 40 minutes later. That's amazing customer service. The repair went smoothly and instructions were spot on. The TV works like new again.

Just wanted to say "TVREPAIRKITS.COM ROCKS!" I had a convergence problem with my Sony rear projection TV about a year ago. I was hesitant at first but the clear directions with photos and the thought of saving several hundred dollars convinced me to give it a try. I replaced the two Convergence Chips and things were back to normal. Needless to say, I was a happy camper.
A year later the problem resurfaced, only worse. I e-mailed TVRepairKits for advice late on a Sunday night. Ed answered my questions and after several e-mails, suggested checking the Pico fuses. Bingo, he was right on. Good thing I saved those parts from the first fix. You won't find better service than that. I highly recommend their products and technical know-how. THANKS ED!

I have a 5 year old 52" rear projection TV that the convergence went out on. After about a month of trying to decide if I was just going to buy another TV or not, I did a Google search that told me what the problem was. I then found out about this site and ordered my kit, which arrived in just a few days. I'm a maintenance mechanic so it wasn't too difficult to follow the instructions (even though I had never repaired a TV before). Bottom line is...my TV's picture really looks better and more clear now than it did when I first bought it, and I saved over $300 by making the repair myself...Thanks Team!

I debated whether to get a new TV or not when the convergence went out on my Sony KP-57HW40. I concluded it would probably cost around $600 and a couple of months to have it picked up and fixed by a TV repair shop and you can buy a similar 60" projection tv on the internet brand new for about that price.

Luckily I found TV Repair Kits on line and I had my TV fixed in a couple of days for about $90 tax , title , and liscense. Their kit delivery was on time, their instructions were great, and the parts were reasonably priced.

TV Repair Kits perfoms a valuable service for people not wanting trash their old projection tv. Personally I had already had plans for this tv in my future Man Cave.

If you get a chance watch the videos from their home page. I found them to have some good troubleshooting short cuts and other valuable information.

Thanks TV Repair Kits!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Convergence kit
I'd like to say that I'm no electronics repair person. I'm a mechanic and work at a powerplant. So the thought of soldiering a circuit board is one the I didn't think I could do. After finding your site and ordering the repair kit I followed your instructions and pictures (very important)and bought the tools and practice parts you suggested. Taking the DM board out was easier then it looks and after practicing I went ahead and tackled the job. I was done in less then a half hour and the joints looked like new. after reinstalling everything I still had the blinking light. I was disgusted. I checked all the connections and that didn't help. So I went back to your site and found the troubleshooting part and reinstalled the DM board first to ensure that it was seated and then the metal case. Reassemblr this time was even faster now that I had done it once before. Once the DM booted up the light quit flashing and my TV works again and I have less then 100 dollars envested. Thanks

Thanks to the awesome kit and instructions, my almost 8 year old Philips 55 CRT TV looks brand new! On a scale of 1 to 10, I give this a 10. It took about 4 hours for me and my 14 year old son to complete. You should have someone assist you when taking out the lenses and make sure you color code the wires so you know where they go when you are finishing up. If I can do this, anyone can. It really works. Money well spent.

Thank you TvrepairKits.com. You saved my 15+ year old tv. This tv was great - good picture, great sound, but had convergence problem starting last year. Best Buy tech was going to charge me over $400 to repair it. Before I take this tv to the dump, I figured I'd try to fixed it myself. I'm pretty handy mechanically, but never done this type of electronic repair before. I googled under convergence problem and found Tvrepairkits.com. Ordered my parts and received it in 2 days. Read the instructions/videos on their website, bought the soldering tools recommended by them and practiced soldering and desoldeing a few times. Ran into a few problems during repair, but Ed from Tvrepairkit was able to help me out several times via emails - Quick responses via emails. Replaced the convergence chips, and put everything back together. Fired up the tv, but did not see much improvement. Thanks to Ed's help, we figured out that one of the Pico fuse was bad. Replaced it and everything works like a charm. Thanks Tvrepairkits. You save me tons of $ from not having to buy a new tv.

I want to thank you for the repair kit and technical support for my 10-yr old Mitsubishi projection screen TV color convergence problem. The kit arrived at my home only 2 working days after I ordered it. The technical instructions you provided my on your website were most helpful. I was able to install the convergence chips and the TV is now working like it was new again! The whole dis assembly / re assembly process took about 2-1/2 hours; but then again, I've never done this sort of thing before, so I probably could do the next one in about half the time. I must admit that the entire installation was much more difficult than I'd originally thought; so if it fails again down the road, I'll probably just bite the bullet and buy a new TV. But now that it's working, I don't have to shell out a grand for a new one.

We passed and replaced it with a new 52" plasma, but I found this site and always one for a challenge purchased the kit. Directions and technical support are awesome.

What a surprise, so now hope the TV runs for another 5 years or more. Thanks!

After about 9 years with this TV I had the convergence chips go. I contacted tvrepairkits.com and purchased their replacement convergence kit. The problem I kept having was with the soldering of the chips. If you don't get them perfect they won't work right. After several attempts I finally got them right and my TV is a good as new. Thanks Ed

Went to turn on my 60" tv one day and for some reason colors on right side of tv were separating and looked 3d. Looked around online and identified my problem as bad convergence chips. My tv is a 2004 model but is full hd and picture looked great up until now. With economy as bad as it is, I felt that buying a new tv was not economical for me. I am generally pretty handy with anything and decided to do the fix myself. Shopped around online (everything is cheaper online folks) and found tvrepairkits was cheaper than any others i was able to find by 10-50 dollars and i beleive they also use original parts which is pretty important when you are talking about computer chips. Got them in 2 days just like everybody says. Put them in using suggested methods. Everything works great again and my total bill was 80 bucks plus a couple new tools i got to buy for myself (de-soldering iron and soldering iron)woo hoo. Thank you tvrepairkits.

Thank you TVRepairKit.com, you saved me over $1500 by not having to buy a new TV. It all started with the color convergence and then the blinking light problem. I looked on the internet and found your site. I took a leap of faith and decided to try to repair the tv by myself. Taking the tv apart was the hardest part, but your instructions helped me through the process. After replacing the capacitors, convergence chip, and a few resistors, I put back together the tv. It worked! It looks like new and my wallet was incredibly thankful.

My Misubishi died, I found this website, bought the kit, and It works great now. The old part didnt look bad, to the eye, no leaks, bulging etc, but the fix worked. Just make sure you document where all the plugs go back. I forgot one, fired up the TV, It didnt work, was ready to scrap it. Looked again, and I forgot one plug on the board. Works great. Thanks!! Saved me hundreds.

The kit was shipped to me extremely well packaged and very quickly, too. Step-by-step directions were perfect and I followed them to the line. I had the board out of my television set in half an hour. Because the directions also specified a good list of tools needed . . I saved myself a lot of time by buying (less than $20) the tools and doing it the way TV Repair Kits suggested. I had the entire job done in two hours and my TV works perfectly again!

Fantastic results!! Thanks so much for your service. When the convergence went out on our TV I Googled to find out what the problem was and if I could fix it, and thanks to you it was a piece of cake and saved us $300! (it would have cost us $390 to have a local repairman come to our home and fix it!). I'm not one for writing testimonials, but I thought such great results warranted a few words. :)

One night our TV went crazy, the blue color was shifted to the right. We tried "Magic Focus" on our set without any success. I then went online and found this website. I took a leap of faith and ordered the suggested repair parts. The order arrived complete and on time. I decided to let my 12 year old son tackle this project. He had no previous experience soldering. So I used this as a learning experience for him. It took him about 3 hours to complete the repairs. The smile on his face when the tv worked correctly was priceless.

I was so frustrated when my set tweaked out and went all 3D on me. I googled some help, and was dierected to this site. After a few very quick emails, I was on board and awaiting my convergence kit. We screwed up by replacing all the resistors, and thus blew another 2 resistors. With Ed's advice and help, we were back on track and the TV was back to working properly within a matter of days. NOTE: Pay close attention to the Ohms, and watts before replacing any resistors. And only replace the resistors if the convergence chips don't do the trick. The chips were all I needed. Thanks so much to Ed and TV Repair Kits for all your help, advice and research. You guys are top notch!

One day, my Hitach rear projection TV looked like a 3D movie without wearing the glasses. It was a Sunday morning. We were headed to Best Buy at 11AM. I decided to search the internet for known picture problems with this TV. I found tvrepairkits.com and the images on this site looked exactly like my TV. I have never done any soldering/de-soldering work on circuit boards but I decided it was worth the $70 investment. The shipping was on time. The step-by-step manual was as advertised. The parts were the correct parts. The repair went off without a glitch and I am very happy that I found this website. Thank you. You probably saved me $2000!

A few days ago my TV had the dreaded convergence issue. After a bit of Googling, I found the Repair Kit on this site. I've never soldered a thing in my life, but was willing to learn to keep my 8 year old TV in service. The kit arrived within two days of ordering. The instructions were clear and concise. Two convergence chips and one pico fuse replaced, and my TV is back to normal!

I opened the package and saw the fuse and capacitor and told my wife "what a rip-off, this is never going to fix it". I now eat my words as it took me about 30 minutes to replace the two parts (I installed them on the bottom of the board as it was much easier) and to my amazement, it fixed the no power situation. I would have bet good money that I wasted $58 (including shipping)and instead my 11 year old TV is working like new. Many thanks. I will recommend you to everyone I know.

Email support was punctual and helpful. (I had a question about something not related to changing coolant or convergence. Great instructions, easy to follow. Photos were not model specific (there are over 400 Hitachi models alone!) but I had no problem figuring things out. I'd like to see tvrepairkits offer a color calibration kit.

OK at first when I found your site I thought this was cool but the hype about how easy it was etc did have me very skeptical. I had my part in 3 working days, just as they advertise. I do have an electronic background so I knew it was not a big thing but after I got the part, looked at the instructions. Honestly it was a joke. It was very easy and the second I turned the tv on she came alive, no adjustments, its was great. Thank you for making this so easy a fifth grader could do it.

I installed the fuses and that was the final capstone, my Toshiba 53H71 picture came up then I just tweaked the convergence and buttoned it up, and IT WORKS GREAT, the picture is as good as it was since we first bought the set. So the convergence chips were good.

I'm a household hero. I cook, I clean, and now I repair TV's. Thanks to Tvrepairkits.com.
Seriously, if you told me that my tv would malfunction and I would open it up and perform the repair myself, I would have told you to get lost.
Well, that's how it went down. The kit I purchased for a convergence repair came in 3 mailing days, it contained all the necessary parts for the repair, and it had excellent instructions to follow. They matched my TV perfectly. It even came with soldering instructions. What more can you ask for?
Tvrepairkits.com allowed me to fix my TV myself for $65. This fix in a shop would have cost between $400 - $600.
This website gets a two thumbs up and any business I can send it's way.
Once again, thank you so much.

Hello Tv Repair Kits,
My name is Heather. I was recently given a handme down- Philips Magnavox 50" Rear Projection TV. It was in good shape but the picture was really pink and had halos. My roommate Kyla did research online to see what was causing the problem because we really wanted to replace our old RCA floor tv from the 80's which was another handme down. She found TvRepairKits.com and did some troubleshooting to determine it was the CRT coolant that needed to be changed. I called the local TV service company and they estimated it would be 400 to fix it. Obviously I didn't want to spend that kind of money and took a leap of faith with this repair kit...it was $80. Kind of a lot of money to throw away if it didn't work. I was confident in my mechanical skills that my dad had embedded in me since I was a kid (he can fix anything). I spent a Saturday going through the steps not knowing if I was going to be successful. Then we powered it on and adjusted the convergence and Bam...the TV is fixed. I can't believe I did it myself. I just graduated college with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design so I had no prior knowledge of "fixing" TV's. The instructions you provided were awesome, the repair went smoothly and with the money I saved from the repair man I bought a new surround sound and entertainment center.Heck Yes, I don't know anyone who can fix a big screen but now I know how.
Girls can do anything, and you helped.
Thanks Again.

I do have mechanical experience but not soldering on circuit boards and I couldn't believe how easy it was. Now that I have found this site and done a repair with your kit I cant stop looking in peoples trash when I drive by to find a tv that just needs a simple repair that can be done with one of your kits ( one mans trash is another mans treasure lol ). I have recommended your site to everybody I know with a projection tv. The tv repair guy wanted 400 dollars to fix my convergence problem and the tv was not worth it but it was worth buying a kit from you and about 2 hours of my time. Thank you soo much and I will absolutely be using your kits again

I bought an older big screen TV. It had a serious convergence problem. I would have spent hundreds on a TV repair man. Instead, we ordered the convergence kit. It took me a little while to figure it out and I had to buy some new tools, but they were not expensive at all. $110 later, including new tools and convergence kit, my TV is fixed and my wife thinks I'm a super hero! It wasn't hard to fix and I had never soldered! Thanks a ton!

I replaced the two convergance chips and my 51 inch Hitachi is working perfectly again. I tested the convergance resistors but none were bad in my case. The instructions are well written and easy to follow. I had the benefit of years of experience in electronics repair which made the work a breeze. I would recommend both a solder sucker and solder braid for the removal of the parts. Suck as much as you can out with the solder sucker and use the braid to remove the rest. I also used a PCB cleaning spray (flux remover) to clean the board after the repair, which removes all of the flux and tiny solder balls left after soldering. This makes inspection of the solder connections much easier.

This is my second repair of the same thing. I think the chips just get too hot with the extended use of teenagers. The repair was again straight forward, solder pads are getting thin from two solder removals. Thinking about adding fans to add cooling power to the heat sinks. Maybe will get more life this time. Good kit, good instructions.

A few years ago, I was given a TV for free from my father. At that time, the convergence was going out and I had it fixed for $600. The power went out a few days ago and came home to a TV with a "Green Blinking Light". I searched for "Green Blinking Light" for my model TV and found someone with the same problem and a link to tvrepairkits.com. I ordered the kit and followed the instructions, all worked great and I now have a functioning TV. Thanks for the suggestion of using a camera to take pictures of the disassembly, I had a socket that was empty and when I went back to the photo, it was also empty there. Thanks again.

I turned my television on one day and saw the dreaded blurring that made me think I would have to buy a new television. Before I set it out by the road, I hopped on-line and started investigating what the problem was. I saw that there was a fix, but me having no electronic skills or not having ever soldered or de-soldered, I was a bit intimidated. Reluctantly I started looking for repair kits to see how much it would cost and info on a step-by-step solution. Once I found the right kit here at TV Repair Kits, I was grateful to find a very clear, comprehensive tutorial on the repair, accompanied by pictures. Voila!! I was going to tackle the job. I went to Radio shack and got a soldering iron, solder, a de-soldering suction bulb, a practice board and practice resistors. I went home and started practicing. After I got comfortable, I opened up the television backing, followed every step on the website with pic and finally completed the task. I was scared that I was going to burn down the house after plugging it in and turning the TV on, but I went ahead and got the fire extinguisher handy and turned it on. To my surprise, no sparks, no flames or smoke! Success!!! The convergence menu and subsequent lining up of the crosses proved to be a huge pain in the neck, but presto!!! My TV was back!! Thank you so much!! What a sense of accomplishment, I told everybody that would listen how I de-soldered and soldered like 40 or 50 resistors. I definitely felt like a real man after completing the job! My wife was more surprised than me, but was happy with saving so much money!! Thank you so much for the great instructions and the right repair kit. I couldn't be happier!!!

Great work guys!! The order process was simple; quick delivery and everything worked as advertised.
Your instructions are straight forward. Anticipating and recommending newbies to soldering buy the practice parts (soldering and desoldering) was a great idea. When it came time to do the job I was ready.
Your instructions and pictures matched what I saw behind my TV. Your recommended/preferred approaches were the right ones. Best of all, the price of repairing this myself with your parts, simply can not be beat.

Installed both kits plus a blown resistor RK-50. TV fired up but blew resistor RK-58. Help Ticket opened
Hi David,
There seems to be some damage to the board...you can tell because there are spots where the solder is not sticking. Are you using the desolder iron we recommended or something else?
One or more of your traces may be damaged. One sign is when the soldering looks balled up or is not sticking correctly.
Please follow this guide on how to check for and repair damaged traces.
Ed, thanks for the info. When I went to Radio shack to get the desolder iron the Rep said to use the Vacuum Desoldering Tool (64-2098)-- works great, Well for me -- not that great.
Anyways, I traced and checked the traces, found one on each convegence chip -- made repairs, replaced blown resistor, installed board, plugged in TV, No smoke!
Tried Magic Focus, no luck, went into DCAM -- cleaned up the mess, saved setting, -- SUCCESS!!!

This kit worked perfectly to fix the problem. The instruction manual was very informative and to the point. The tips were very helpful. The desoldering iron from Radio Shack made this job so much easier. The suggested practice on the Soldering Board for proper soldering and de soldering was the key for this being a sucessful repair. It took me about 1hour and 15 min to do the repair and saved me buying a new TV. The display looks brand new. I would recommend this to anyone, however, take the time to practice the soldering and desoldering techniques.

The convergence kit was exactly what I was looking for, and the instructions were spot on. Unfortunately my soldering wasn't! When my convergence problem got only 50% better after my DIY repair, Ed tried repeatedly to get me to double-, triple- and quadruple check my soldering for "spills". I insisted all my soldering was clean and there must be some other issue at work. Finally I sent Ed a few high-res digital pics of my work, and--big surprise--HE PINPOINTED THE SOLDER SPLASH THAT WAS CAUSING THE MALFUNCTION. Thank you Ed and all the support staff at TVRepairKits!

I had the convergence chips replaced 2 years ago for over $425. I was going to scrap the TV before I saw your site. After starting the process I thought, "I can't do this." It was harder than I thought it would be and my solders aren't the prettiest, but IT WORKS. I had a hard time removing the old chips because I'm cheap and was using braid. The tool you recommend might have been better.

Did the Talpiot tomb unearthed in Jerusalem in 1980 really contain the bones of Jesus? Arguing for the credibility of Christ's resurrection, eight respected scholars offer a multifaceted examination of the archaeological, statistical, historical, and theological issues surrounding the site, arming you with the knowledge to respond to the claims of critics and skeptics. 256 pages, softcover from B&H.
Publishers Description
"Buried Hope or Risen Savior?" argues for the credibility of Jesus Christ's resurrection, engaging the issue in relation to the recent "Jesus Family Tomb" claims that continue making headlines around the world.
Among the contributors, Steve Ortiz (professor of Biblical Archaeology at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary) discusses the general background of this type of tomb and the archaeology of the Talpiot tomb site. Craig Evans (New Testament professor at Acadia Divinity College) writes about ossuaries and tomb inscriptions. Richard Bauckham (New Testament professor at Scotland's University of St. Andrews) gives the history of Jewish names, extrabiblical writings, and Mary Magdalene. William Dembski (SWBTS research professor in Philosophy) discusses the statistical evidence for the names found on the Talpiot tomb to have been "Jesus." Mike Licona (North American Mission Board director of Apologetics and Interfaith Evangelism) responds to claims that finding the bones of Jesus would not disprove Christ's resurrection. Gary Habermas (Apologetics & Philosophy chair at Liberty University) summarizes the evidence for the bodily resurrection of Jesus. And Darrell Bock (New Testament professor at Dallas Theological Seminary) addresses the importance of the resurrection and how Christians should respond to challenges upon their faith.

The ECPA Bestseller lists for September, reflecting sales in August as compiled by NPD BookScan, reveal a strong showing for new releases. Among the Top 50 bestsellers overall, 14 were released in August. This compares with 13 new releases in the Top 50 lists for June, July and August combined.
Four books released in August appeared in the Top 10 for September. Of Mess and Moxie by Jen Hatmaker (Thomas Nelson) debuted at #2, right behind Five Love Languages. The signed edition appears as #40. Last week, Hatmaker's new book made it to #2 on the New York Times advice, how-to & misc. bestsellers list and #1 on the Publishers Weeklyadult hardcover nonfiction list.
Coming in at #4 is She's Still There by Chrystal Evans Hurst (Zondervan). Hurst is the sister of Priscilla Shirer, whose August release Awaken (B&H Publishing Group) came in at #9. We could be wrong, but we're guessing that this is the first time in the history of the Christian bestseller lists that books by two sisters have appeared in the Top 10 at the same time. Congratulations to the Evans family!
The other new release in the Top 10 overall is The Emigrant Edge by Brian Buffini (Howard Books). Ten other titles by nine different publishers debuted in the Top 50 overall. Space doesn't allow listing them all, so check out the list for yourself: #14, 16, 30, 32, 34, 36, 40, 42, 48, and 50!
New releases also made a strong showing on the Top 25 fiction bestsellers list. Eight of the 25 titles were released in August, including The Blessing by Wanda Brunstetter (Barbour) at #2, Taken by Dee Henderson (Bethany House) at #6, The Return by Suzanne Woods Fisher (Revell) at #7, and Gathering the Threads by Cindy Woodsmall (WaterBrook) at #10. The Shack held its #1 position on the Top 25 fiction list, while also holding the #3 and #21 spot on the list. The only other author with three titles in the Top 25 was Wanda Brunstetter.
No surprises in the Kids Top 25 list. Two powerhouses, The Beginner's Bible and The Jesus Storybook Bible (both from Zonderkidz), held the first two spots on the list.
Overall, it's exciting and healthy to see the immediate response of readers to new titles and new voices from Christian publishers. Traditionally, Christian bestseller lists are anchored by those books that have proven to be foundational to readers through the years, and that's something our industry can be proud of. In fact, the classic The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom (Chosen Books/Baker) placed at #46 in the Top 50 list this month. This title was the #1 bestselling Christian book in 1974, the year ECPA was founded! At the same time, when new books—whether written by established authors or those who are not as well known—are embraced by the reading public, it bodes well for the future of our industry.

You were sitting astride a high performing enterprise.
Results kept coming in relatively better than many of your peers.
But business was tough and keeping up with changing customer needs was a huge challenge.
The cost of regulation had taken its toll on the bottom line. Directly, and indirectly through the pressure on your executive team.
You'd heard things about the social enterprise.That word "social" was bandied around by your Comms and Marketing departments, but those peers of yours weren't doing anything singularly obvious yet and you already had plenty on your plate.
You vaguely recall sanctioning a couple of pilots. A few below-radar experiments.
But mostly you ignored it. All of it.
Keeping your attention on your existing business and your legacy issues.
And that felt comfortable. And safe.
And the buzz around social seemed to die out.
Because your executives didn't believe you'd be interested, so they mostly stopped talking to you about it. Because they knew that you would dismiss their proposals.
And you did.
And this was one thing you definitely did right.
Because they were a weak response from a management team that knew they were meant to be doing something, but too afraid to do it for the whole business and unwilling to risk it together.
A poor excuse for what should have been done in the first place.
They were just scratching the surface.
Too trivial for the incumbents to ignore.
Too weak to truly change the way you did business.
Too shallow to be perceived by customers as authentic.
That's the moment it all started to change. From then on down it was too difficult to slow the decline. Everything that had made your business strong in times of incremental change now made it vulnerable facing rapid disruption.
You went from plotting your "journey through the jaws" to facing a pincer movement of challenger startups on one side and radical incumbents on the other. The challengers each had a unified vision and relentless focus on service and experience. The handful of incumbents realised they had nothing – and everything – to lose.
Internally, you found it harder to motivate, to engage, to recruit and retain the right people. Those who were best placed to carry your business into the future. You had been focused on creating a legacy – but the legacy business was inflexible and unresponsive.
Externally, you found it harder to develop and maintain meaningful client relationships.
The lack of an authentic strategy for social business alienated an entire generation of clients – even as you courted their elders as your platinum targets.
If you could go back now, what would you do differently?

California already requires students to take Algebra I, but students who are not ready take lower levels of math. Under this new decision, though, students will have to enroll in the class, even if they're not prepared, in order to take the standardized test.
Math has been a struggle for many students in the Mountain View Whisman School District, and for the last two years teachers and administrators have been working to improve low test scores, especially among low-income Latino students.
In an effort to assess basic math skills, about 200 eighth graders in the district, who were not all enrolled in Algebra I, took the California standardized tests in algebra for the last two years. In 2007, only 35 percent scored proficient or above, leaving the remaining 65 percent at the basic or far below basic levels.
The district is not the only one facing challenges under the new ruling — statewide, only 38 percent of students scored proficient.
"We don't have enough kids who are ready to succeed in algebra," Assistant Superintendent Mary Lairon said.
This year a new district math committee identified lack of consistency in curriculum and time spent on math as key problems explaining, in part, the discrepancy in math scores. One teacher was found to be spending only 15 minutes a day on math, for example. As a result, second through fifth grade teachers are now required to spend 90 minutes on math.
Lairon said even with the Algebra I decision, administrators are more concerned about preparing students with the building blocks for math, and less concerned with testing.
"The issue is getting more kids ready for algebra," Lairon said.

Canoe You Too: Boathouses of the Little Arkansas
Canoe You Too: Boathouses of the Little Arkansas
Editor's note: This is the second part of a 2-part story on Wichita Boat houses. In last week's F5, we covered the rise and fall of the Wichita Boating Club from 1877 to 1897 and its boathouse at Oak Street (now Murdock Avenue) and the Little Arkansas on the edge of what is now Central Riverside Park.
Whatever had caused the mass loss of interest in boating in the 1890s, it was temporary. By 1898, the public once again demanded its boats.
Enter R.C. Israel, a local tradesman whose family lived just around the corner from the Oak Street Bridge, at 915 N. Waco. Israel purchased six cheap rowboats and put his two adolescent sons in charge of them in order to keep them out of his hair in the summer. During the day, the boys would rent them to eager customers, and at night the boats were simply tied up beneath the bridge. Each summer the business got a little bigger until 1905, when Israel built a proper facility — the Murdock Avenue Boathouse — and went into the amusement business officially.
Within months, Israel had company. The Aug. 9 Eagle reported: "The Wichita Canoe Club yesterday leased a plot of ground on the Little Arkansas river below Murdock Avenue and will build a boat and club house as soon as the plans can be made. The boat house will have room for 32 boats. The club was organized about two weeks ago and now has about 25 members. The land was leased from R.C. Israel and is just south of the Murdock avenue boat house … Stairs will lead from the building to a platform, to which will be attached a floating platform from which the boats will be launched. A chute will be installed to take the canoes easily into the club house."
Just up the river a few blocks, the Riverside Club joined in the fun in 1909, building a magnificent club and boathouse at the corner of Briggs and River Boulevard. All of Riverside was now one big Sunday canoe excursion.
1911 saw a further expansion of Israel's business, with the June 18 Eagle reporting: "With completion of the new dam and remodeling and enlarging of the Riverside Boat House, Wichita now has the largest fleet of rowboats and the finest scenery and water for rowing of any city in Kansas. Yesterday the boat company received another car load of pressed steel row boats. They now have 55 boats in their fleet, ranging from fourteen to eighteen feet in length." Their newspaper ad read: "Launch ride tickets at Riverside Boat company are ten cents. Mullins safe pressed steel row boats 25 cents per hour."
By 1912 the Riverside Club boasted 360 members and its own sand-dredging boat, which it allowed the city to use to widen and deepen the river channel all the way north to 13th Street, all the better for boating. The club built an annex to its boathouse to handle the increasing business.
In the winter of 1912-13 a fire broke out at the Murdock Avenue Boathouse, which was closed for the season. The beautiful stone arch at the east end of the bridge into the park was damaged in the blaze, and subsequently removed. By early summer the boathouse was repaired and ready for action. The April 6 Eagle noted: "Grand opening of Riverside boat house about 25th of this month. Capacity of boat house and pavilion has been more than doubled. R. C. Israel, owner, has secured 90 steel rowboats costing $40 each. A number of new launches will be seen on the river this summer. The Wichita Canoe club's boathouse adjoins that of the Riverside company." A month later, on May 17, the Eagle added: "Largest shipment of boats ever to arrive here received by R. C. Israel, including one launch, 25 row boats, and five canoes."
The June 6, 1915 Eagle commented on Wichita's obsession with boats, noting the sheer number of watercraft to be found on the Little River. "There are more than 100 boats, 80 canoes, and a dozen launches. The Riverside Boat House, under lease to Robert C. Israel, has 80 steel boats and a few launches. Adjoining it is a canoe club housing 60 canoes. Riverside club has sixteen canoes, and the Old Town Canoe club boat house has perhaps ten canoes." This was the golden age of boating in Wichita.
The Riverside Club, whose membership was perhaps diminished by America's participation in World War I, sold its lovely club and boathouse to the Midian Shrine in 1918; the building was torn down in 1924. (Today Gloria Dei Lutheran Church, where many Riversiders vote on Election Day, stands on the spot.)
Also in 1924 came the death of R.C. Israel, on Sept. 9. The next day's Eagle ran a lengthy obituary, including the following excerpt: "Report of death yesterday of Robert C. Israel, Wichita pioneer and real estate dealer, at his home, 743 North Waco, at age 69. In failing health for more than a year. Born at White Hall, Illinois in 1855. Moved to a farm in Sumner County near Norwich in 1876 and then to Wichita in 1876. Operated a grocery with C. D. Ward at 414 East Douglas until the boom, when he entered the general mercantile business with his brother, Fred. The business was sold at auction after the boom. Soon after the boom he opened his first real estate office at 414 East Douglas … He built two large apartment buildings at the southwest corner of Waco and Murdock in 1910, at which time he opened the large boat house. Prior to that time his son, Robert E., had operated the boat house in a small way."
Israel died at roughly the same time the Little River had to be drained in order to rebuild the bridge into the park, which forced the boathouse out of business for two solid years. Not to be discouraged, R.C.'s widow Julia took over the family business and used the downtime to her advantage. The April 11, 1926 Eagle noted: "Over $10,000 will be spent on remodeling the Riverside boat house at Murdock and Little River. A pillared veranda will be placed on the north side, to be 15 x 100 feet. Work will start Monday and be completed by the middle of May. A car load of 24 steel boats costing $2,000 has arrived in Wichita for the boat house rental."
And then a curious thing happens in the public record: Almost no mention of any Wichita boathouse, including the 1920s structure still standing at Lewis Street, appears in the Eagle or Beacon until the late 1960s. Then, in the June 3, 1963 Eagle, came this announcement: "The Riverside boathouse will be one of the first properties acquired for the Park Plaza Urban Renewal project. The option to sell the land and property was returned yesterday to the agency office by Ralph B. Foster, 5102 East Pine, present owner of the boathouse. The boathouse has a river frontage of 75 feet and the property line runs to the center of the river."
As has been the case with many beloved public treasures detailed in past editions of this column, the boathouse became a victim of the "Urban Renewal" craze of the 1960s-70s. Rather than renovating or repurposing older structures, Urban Renewal often called for a clean slate approach to remaking public spaces. The boathouse, though still open, was on deathwatch.
The July 16, 1967 Eagle reported: "Business is continuing at Wichita's venerable Riverside Boathouse, although it is scheduled to be torn down this fall to make way for development of the 44 acre Park Plaza urban renewal project. Manager of the boathouse is Harold Fogle."
In January of 1968, the Murdock Avenue Boathouse was knocked down.

Designer makes LiquidMetal iPhone mockups
0. phoneArena posted on 03 May 2012, 17:16
It's interesting how mockups of the next gen iPhone almost always follow a certain pattern, a pattern which Apple would likely never follow itself. Designer Antoine Brieux has an idea for what a LiquidMetal iPhone 5 will look like, and while it is pretty, it's certainly an unlikely design...

Quite a very very sexy design. If apple could pull that off i would be amazed. Im still in love with the GS3 but man. I must admit. That is super super sexy.

Amazing design. I'll gladly admit that without a biased Android-obsessed mind.

As an Android user, I agree. I would jailbreak and find a way a to run it as a dual OS phone.

Luckily this guy is not the designer for iPhone and it was Jony Ive. This thing looks uuuuuggglllyyyyy~~!!! It looks like the first Xperia phone and that phone was no stunner. I would believe iP5 to have a futuristic design. And virtual home button? Please. That's something only Android and WP would do. Flagship phones should have physical home buttons, e.g. S3 and iP4s.

London has seen a boom in property prices over the past five years when the rest of the UK has seen fluctuations and a fall in house values.
Because of the increased prices in the London area, more and more first-time buyers are finding themselves priced out of the market and unable to afford decent houses for sale in the area. A typical first time buyer will have to spend over three thirds of their income on mortgage payments alone after national insurance and tax.
But there are pockets of areas in London that still allow first-time buyers to buy cheaper property and there are also ways to spot cheaper properties with a little visionary execution and imagination.
Extend and increase space
First-time buyers can buy properties and get planning permission to convert the loft space or alternatively build an extension to the property to increase the space. Victorian houses, particularly terraced two-up and two-down properties, are abundant in London and some of them offer loft space to convert and garden space that could allow an extension. First-time buyers could buy a cheaper property and then make it larger, as well as increasing the value of the property. It is advisable to check planning laws with the local council before proceeding with a purchase.
Do a property up
Another great way of buying a cheaper property is to buy a neglected house and do it up. Some properties in London are crying out for some love and affection and for those buyers that are bold enough, refurbishing a home can be a satisfying experience. A realistic budget for works, demolition and new interiors and fitting should be set and a proper project plan put in place. A refurbishment and upgrade to a property will undoubtedly add value to it.
Buy in less desirable areas
There are many areas in London that are diversely different to each other. There are also areas that are considered trendy and chic to live in. A good idea would be to look at less desirable areas, particularly those of neighbouring trendy and chic parts of London which could possibly have the potential to become a desirable area in the long-term. When an area becomes too popular and overpriced, buyers will look at the neighbouring areas and start moving to those. Property in the less desirable areas will be much cheaper and more affordable and would be a good investment. A knock-on effect will usually take place which has recently been seen in parts of London such as Clerkenwell, Peckham, Balham and Brick Lane which are now considered very desirable places to live. Once a place is considered desirable then boutiques, cafes, specialist shops and restaurants start to spring up in the area.
Look in regenerated areas
The UK Government and the Mayor of London is putting money into many areas in London to regenerate poorer, neglected areas and create new homes, business space and community spaces. One such area is the London Thames Gateway regeneration programme The Thames Gateway is the UK's largest economic development programme which covers forty miles along the Thames Estuary from the London Docklands to Southend in Essex and to Sheerness in Kent. The regeneration area also includes the redevelopment on Stratford in light of the Olympics. Another area that is receiving funding for regeneration is the borough of Lewisham. All of these regeneration projects will mean that properties in these areas will be more affordable to buy in to start with, but as the local area and economy improves they will undoubtedly increase in value.

Were you a good student in school?
I was a straight A student all through 8th grade. I took the SAT's in 7th grade and did better than 85% of high school seniors. I was the kid the teacher always used my assignment as the example of how it was supposed to be done. Then in 9th grade I just decided I hated school. It was boring. I dropped out at 16.
What group were you in during high school? (nerd? popular? jock??)
I was a rebel, did what I wanted to while I was there, I drank Mad Dog 20/20 in my 1st hr math class and pissed off my teacher when I corrected him. I smoked cigarettes walking down the hallway and skipped school. I fought a lot.
What is the most memorable moment of high school?
I guess having a beer party on the football field during school
What is your most embarrassing moment?
Probably getting nominated most likely to get suspended for the yearbook. I didn't care then, but now I think its embarrassing.
**disclaimer** My mom was very sick when I was growing up, we moved when I was in 8th grade. I had a lot of issues as a teenager. I got over them as soon as I got pregnant with my oldest.
