Is it a difficult to replace the convergence amplifier modules on a Mitsubishi VS 50609 TV?

The red and blue lines on my TV suddenly went haywire and now it looks like I'm watching a 3D TV without the glasses.

Your convergence has failed. This is a very common problem on most projection tv sets. You can read about it here on fixya using this link

SOURCE: Mitsubishi VS-50609 - Red convergence is way off, suddenly

You have a bad ground on a convergence IC. You will have to carefully pull this board out and resolder the pins. If this does not solve the problem you will have to replace the ICs. I have saved a few of these TVs with just a resolder job. Thanks for asking!

Hello billy218,

What is happening is that your convergence amplifier modules are beginning to go bad. These amplifiers are what amplify the signals used for convergence (how the RGB lights line up on each other) when they go bad the RGB lights tend to bow towards the center of the TV and the colors begin to mis-align. There are many sites devoted to doing the changing of the amplifiers yourself,however although these sites are accurate in give the instructions on how to change the amplifiers they do very little for actual troubleshooting and finding the underlying cause of the problem. In most cases its just that the amp modules have gone bad, but sometimes there is an overheating problem that triggers the damage. I would suggest having a TV repair person come to your place to check the problem and to fix it. The repair should cost about $250.00

Hello videopro4uJC,

I gave this advice out before and it applies in this case so here goes:
