Model #57F500A
I thought it had the convergence problem, Ghost, Double images, color off, Ect. Well i replaced the STK IC's and a resistor, But that did not fix it. The color is still off , double images, But now it has a bowed image at top & bottom.... I tried to correct it with the auto (magic focus) and manually, after about 45 min.s of adjusting the color push the ini. change button and it goes blank for a few seconds and then the color grid pops back up all messed up again. Will not work at all (the changes) HELP!

Check the power supply and convergence board for bulged top capacitors.If none are found resolder the entire convergence board.

Hi djayha1.
Hmmm, by conversion board, do you mean the digital video board, because that’s the one in charge of converting all the analog signals to digital; so the 3LCD chip board can interpret them and create the picture on the screen trough the light engine. If I’m going too fast, then here is a post explaining about the 3LCD internal parts:

And here is another one that talks about the 3 colored chips.

In any case my first suggestion is that you check the digital board for any swollen capacitors, if nothing obvious.
