Re: Do new convergence boards come with two new IC's already soldered?



Samsung's price for these convergence boards is very low, relative to the
rest of the industry. Normally, techs will repair them rather than replace
the boards because we will often have the parts in stock and it is no big
deal. If you bought the chips from Samsung, it would cost as much as the
board. You can buy the parts for half that or less from good suppliers like
B&D, Acme, or Electronica and get the same Sanyo chips. You can also buy
them from other suppliers even cheaper and maybe get a part that works or
maybe get one that blows up. In your case, just buy the board, but
understand that you will need the service literature to align the set
properly. You will likely have some convergence error with the new board.
Don't even try to go through the alignment without the manual.
