Panasonic PT-51DX80A convergence problem
 

You likely need to replace IC 7001, & IC 7002 convergence IC's
STK392-110, & don't buy cheapy ones, as they may not last. Also, check
the low value resistors right by both IC's. Make sure you clean off the
old heat sink compound, & use a generous
amount on the IC's. You will likely see the large IC's on the left side
looking from the
rear. If you try to adjust the convergence, especially the service
menu, after you fix
the T.V., you will have a lot of adjusting to do. Hope this helps, Dani.

Menu, Cable, Timer, 30, Volume down (On TV), Power button (On Remote) shuld
produce a chk logo on screen. Rest is up to you, write down all the settings
before changing them. Save teh data after changing it then exit with action
and power button on tv.

Bought two STK's from MCM (Sanyo) for 9 bucks each (on sale) Hope they are
the same quality as what was inside. Don't really want to trash this set
as I'm buying a new one but I'd like to give it to someone who would like
one. Still need info on how to get into the service menu and maybe how to
navigate it.

Thanks.

Select catv moce, select sleep timer for 30 min or more, exit menu, press
volume down on tv set, chk should appear on screen, power button on remote
should bring up service menu selections.

So it's Menu then select cable, then timer for 30 minutes and tv volume
down then hit the power button on remote?

Sorry if I seem a little thick.
