Hitachi rear projection TV 50DX01B convergence - green off

[ike]

I have a Hitachi rear projection TV model 50DX01BA or 50DX01B that is approaching 7 years old. The green on it is off about 3/4 of an inch high on the top right and 3/4 of an inch low on the bottom left. As a result I am unable to adjust the convergence using the standard remote setting. I have put up with it for quite some time. Does anyone have a service manual to this or a similar chassis or have any tips on how to access the service mode and/or adjust the green back to being level? Or can anyone point me in the right direction if they think that this is something defective and not an adjustment? I cannot access hitachiserviceusa.com as I do not have a repair shop. I did go to school for electronics once upon a time, so hopefully I am not too much of an idiot.

Thanks for any help that can be provided.

Can't help, just thought I'd reply to wrap your text so others could read
it.

ya pull off the front panel spekr level and take of the carboard cover,
look inside youe will find a small push button with the set on push it
and it will go into the convergance mode follow the screen directions
and try to set it up . if you can't then replace the 2 stk converance
amps and try again

Go to the forum at

http://www.hdtvoice.com/

and read the FAQ on convergence problems and Hitachi sets. You will find
much useful info there, and lots of DIYers that have fixed these problems
themselves.
