My yellows and blues were off. Magic Focus wasn't so magic. When I pulled up the grid, the blue vertical lines were WAY off. When I tried to manipulate them, there was some flashing, but no lines would move. Fine, whatever then. I aligned everything else, went through the aforementioned routine in the 1st post and began initializing it, and when it goes through the magic focus routine near the end, it stops on blue for a while, then OVER FLOW! pops up in red. This can't be good, and I'm afraid to cut off the unit with that on the screen, and I can only get back to the grid. Anyone familiar with these problems? Any suggestions would be great!

Here's the first "hit" as an example: http://www.hdtvoice.com/voice/showt...flow#post187845 __________________ "Illegitimus non carborundum" *Please!

Any help would be appreiciated

You need to refer to the service manual for your set rather than generic Hitachi service procedures that you find online. They are often incomplete or wrong for specific models. __________________ "It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it." -Joseph Joubert Raise the bar.

57U Runner/Cyclist/X-C Skier Join Date: May 2002 Location: Toronto Posts: 17,068	This is outlined in post 1 of this thread. If the remote doesn't have the appropriate buttons, then you can't do the DCAM. There are about 3 procedures outlined for various models in post 1. If yours is one of those models, it'll work. If it's not, then it won't and you should get a service manual, as mentioned above. __________________ 57U - Toronto, Rogers Cable, SA8300HD, 500GB HDD & Hitachi 61UWX10B HDTV, Yamaha RX-V1 A/V Receiver, Martin Logan Speakers.

57U Runner/Cyclist/X-C Skier Join Date: May 2002 Location: Toronto Posts: 17,068	You usually get an overflow error if the convergence has not been done well - i.e. the lines are not straight or converged well enough to go into memory. It's usually best to go into the "medium" mode first then to straighten the lines and then do the fine adjustment. Sometimes stuff just happens too... __________________ 57U - Toronto, Rogers Cable, SA8300HD, 500GB HDD & Hitachi 61UWX10B HDTV, Yamaha RX-V1 A/V Receiver, Martin Logan Speakers.

Night Scene HDTVoice Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: ND Posts: 1	Hitachi 43UWX10B I'm new here, so I appologize if I'm not in the correct place. I was given an HD. Previous owners had 2-STK 392-180 Convergence IC’s replaced a couple of years ago. I went into the alignment screen. I can adjust the red lines but not the Blue lines will not move. Any ideas? Thanks!

Thanks.

I'm having the same issue, did you figure out how to move around the grid.

unspoiled HDTVoice Member Join Date: Aug 2009 Location: Bluffton, OH Posts: 1	Curved Black Lines I recently ( Friday ) replaced the convergence chips on my Hitachi 43UWX10B. Thanks to all who have provided the help for that. Was a breeze once I learned how to solder. The picture quality is good now but I when I view a picture in smooth wide mode or normal mode, the edges on the left and right are curved. Do I need to do the manual convergence or is their another issue I need to address?

People either use an overlay to which you converge the lines, or they attach strings to their TV at the appropriate places. You first converge the green to the overlay/string and then converge the red/blue to the green. __________________ 57U - Toronto, Rogers Cable, SA8300HD, 500GB HDD & Hitachi 61UWX10B HDTV, Yamaha RX-V1 A/V Receiver, Martin Logan Speakers.

flytrainer HDTVoice Member Join Date: Nov 2009 Location: New Mexico, USA Posts: 1	53udx10b Dcam I replaced the ICs and the appropriate resistors on my H53UDX10B, and now it needs a convergence adjustment, but I cannot enter the DCAM mode. I did the double pressing of the "Magic Focus" plus Status/Info button bit, and also tried the little blue button method, but the set just returns to the NTSC mode and never reaches DCAM. Does anyone have any other suggestions for allowing me to get into an alignment mode? By the way I did get a 53UDX10BA Service manual and it is NOT the same as the 53UWX10B Service Manual. I found that the difference between servicing information, at least as far as the convergence corrections/adjustments is the Chassis designation. The 53UDX10B has the DP15 (DP15E) chassis. I dont know what chassis the 53UWX10B uses.
