Hi: THANK YOU for a great forum and very detailed instructions and pointers. Great instructions on what to do on my WS-65909 (Manufactured May 2002) convergence IC replacement. Wish I had simply re-soldered the original chip, rather than going gun-ho to buy new chip and doing a rip and replace. Anyway, the unit fired up fine after I determined a wire harness had pulled loose when I was slidding the chassis back into place.
My question now is how to get rid of the grainy screen. Even HD channels have grainy pictures. I did go in and use auto-set for convergence, and then touched up the red & blue settings in convergence. It almost looks like it will not go into 1080 resolution, and is stuck a lower res. Any ideas? BTW, I rest sharpness, alittle past 50%, made sure my DirecTV is tracked (tuned) right, etc. Any suggestions?
