Default Toshiba TN50x81 parts

Had a tech come by a few months ago and he said my set needed a new Digital
Control Module and a Convergence Output IC. Well, it's been over 4 months
now, and he still doesn't have the parts! Can anyone out there give me the
part number for the Control Module so I can search for it online? Any good
websites to check out for Toshiba TVs? I've looked at the FAQ and will hit
the sites listed there... but I'd appreciate any suggestions.

I somehow managed to find the Digital convergence IC part # 392-110 HE

http://www.donberg.ie/descript/s/stk39110.htm

But it's in Germany!

It's driving my crazy that I've had to wait so long for parts! Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Check with Tritronics or Vance Baldwin Distributors. The convergence IC's should
be STK392-110. (Also available from B&D Enterprises) What's your set doing?

There have been lots of problems with the cheap generics of STK392-110 from
several suppliers. Don't waste your time and money, get the Toshiba part.
It is one of the cheapest from any of the manufacturers and we have had no
failures of any replacement, yet. Who knows what NTE is using for the 7178.

Thanks so much Alan. I really apreciate it. The tech took the two boards out
of the set, so I can't give you an exact diagnosis, but here's what I
recall:

Basically, on powerup, there was no picture, just the power on light (can't
remember if it was steady or blinking). I guess that was the power override
to prevent further damage? When he opened the back, you could really feel
how there was a fried part. It was quite warm with a slight odor. He took
one of the boards out, turned on the set, and we got a picture w/sound, but
it was all garbled. Seems like he knew what he was talking about, but he's
sorely lacking in the parts acqusition department!

He quoted me $350 US to fix, am I getting taken? Not that I'm stingy, I know
he's got to make a living and I certainly can't fix the thing, but those
parts seemed MUCH cheaper than I thought they'd be...

Thanks for your help Leonard and Franc, I'll try to make sure he doesn't use
generics.

The Convergence IC's are likely not the parts problem
the Tech that looked at it is having a problem with.

It's the Digital Control Module that is the killer
in this case. If it's bad. Which can be the case
but seems unlikely to me. The bad news is He
may never get one. Unless he finds a junk tv of the
same model with a good one he can rob.

The good news is I believe PTS has started rebuilding
these. Depending on the problem though. It may be
a part failure that is no longer available.
