Hello, I have a samsung HL-S5086W projection TV and it has an image problem. Judging for what I have been reading on various websites, it seems like it has convergence problems. I see a ghost image in the background and where the 2 images meet it is out of focus. It is pretty bad actually. The TV is only about 3 years old, but I do not have the money to pay to get it fixed, so I would really like to fix it myself.
Can anyone tell me how hard it is to change the convergence boar (or chip) in the TV model? I also need the part number. Also, any idea if this would be worth fixing? I found one web site which they put together a kit for to fix this problem. The price seems reasonable…
I would really appreciate any help in this matter!
Thanks.

You have a dlp, it doesn't have a convergence board. Post pictures of your problem
An example of what is going on is attached

What is the source of your TV signal?
Do you have the same problem if you use a DVD player with your TV?
In the example I posted before it was connected to a DVD player, but it will happen to any source, even when the TV menu is displayed. I barely can read the menu.
My boyfriend opened the back and discovered that under the projection lens there was some broken glass (see in the picture where I indicated with a red circle). I also included another example of image in the screen. Can it be pieces of the color wheel? I thought it was not the color wheel at first because it does not make any strange noise when the TV is on.
Thanks for the replies.

...opened the back and discovered that under the projection lens there was some broken glass (see in the picture where I indicated with a red circle)....
That is the "wobulation" mirror / actuator device. If there's broken pieces in there you will want to replace the whole light engine $600 +core www.encompassparts.com login as guest & search model number

Gosh, that is too expensive, if I cannot buy the broken mirror separately, then it is not worth fixing...
Thanks anyways Hammerdwn.
