I have a toshiba rear projection tv, it has been moved a couple times in its six years of life and since its last move a couple days ago it now has red and green lines on the right half of the screen. I have done a manual convergence on it which didn't help anything.

Can I go in and adjust the mirrors or something to fix this? or do I need a pro tv repairman?

Any suggestions would be helpful.

Thanks,

It's not difficult to realign the guns. Usually you start with the green and line up the others to it. In this case, though, it may be only the blue gun that moved.

I have already lined up the red and blue with the green through the convergence menu. I did the one for the whole screen and then did the 1-9 to do each segment of the screen and it didnt help, is there anything else I can do?

Probably won't work in your case but on my CRT set the colors screw up every couple of months. To fix I unplug the TV let it set for several minutes unplugged and push all the buttons several times to drain any static charge built up. Color is good again when I plug it back in.

Sorry I wasn't more clear about physically adjusting the guns. I can't give you a step-by-step, but there are mechanical adjustments on the guns themselves.

You're also correct in suggesting the mirror(s) may have been bumped out of alignment.
