Digital Convergence Alignment

Readme: Do not attempt to load backup data if the digital convergence PCB has been replaced. Backup data in the new PCB memory is not created until convergence has been adjusted and the CALIBRATION procedure has been completed.

Something to think about:

It is important to know when a convergence alignment will not correct the unit problem. If after following the correct procedure, the convergence cannot be aligned to factory specifications, further troubleshooting is required. Table 3 lists a few of the many possible symptoms.

Repeated Touch Focus errors

Intermittent loss of convergence

Repeated convergence drift of any color

Selected color will not adjust in either direction

Convergence crosshatch pattern will not display

Convergence crosshatch pattern is severely distorted

Touch Focus pattern is not displayed

Touch Focus pattern is severely distorted

Back up data will not load

Cannot enter Service Mode

Data cannot be saved after alignment

Points to remember:

Familiarity and practice help the technician develop confidence in performing a digital convergence alignment or determining the need for further troubleshooting. Having the knowledge and necessary tools available are an important first step in the process of gaining experience. While taking this first step, it is best to follow the alignment instructions carefully and exactly. Back up data, if available, is a useful tool if problems occur. It can provide a good starting point in certain cases, but it should not be viewed as a “cure-all” for convergence problems. In most cases, only minor adjustments will be necessary. Focus and centering adjustments will not be needed and the procedure can begin in the GEOMETRY stage. Minor adjustments made in this way do not require the use of back up data or an overlay kit. Simply make the needed adjustments, save the new data accordingly, exit the service mode, and you’re outta there!
